    'Becoming Bond' will be released on DVD in the UK on Monday, 6 November, 2017.

    That sounds like something I will treat myself too then!

    Just watched this again. So funny and heart warming. What a life the guy has had and what an advert for self confidence.

    Probably still the craziest thing to ever happen in the development of the Bond series, and probably will be forever. The saying "stranger than fiction" comes to mind when one thinks of old George.

    If I saw the documentary and knew nothing but a general grasp of the Bond world, I wouldn't believe it's a true story at all. Definitely stranger than fiction.

    Just saw the documentary and I found it to be very much fun and I love Lazenby‘s final remark in it.

    The man WAS James Bond excluding the espionage aspect in real life :-D

    Highly recommended

    I’m late to the party, but I just saw this on HULU and I was really impressed! So funny. Even my husband got a kick out of it, and he hasn’t even seen OHMSS (need to rectify that....)

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a documentary that was such fun!

    i got the dvd in November as a birthday present. Apologies for being predictable but i found it very funny and (occasionally) very moving too,

    @DarthDimi @CommanderRoss Howdy! I knew it had been a little while since I’ve been on here, but apparently it’s been two years? Oops! I had a kid, I’ve been busy.

    @lalala2004, I don't think I've had much conversation with you in the past, but congratulations on the child! I expect you to raise them on Bond films the right way. ;)

    I’m not quite OG, but spent a lot of time on the old forums yearrrs ago. I’ll certainly show him the Bond films when he’s old enough, but I’m still working on getting my husband to see them all, and considering we’ve been married nearly 5 years, I think I’m failing as a Bond fan :#

    @lalala2004, your husband is being a very bad boy. Might I suggest what they do with pets? Get a squirt bottle and spray him until he lets you pop in a Bond film? You'll use up a lot of water but with decent effort you should get him through all 24 in good time. ;)
