    Roger Moore played Bond in a comedy sketch before he was cast as James Bond; does that count?

    Unbenownst to @TripAces maybe? I was responding to him, where he asked if Craig was the only Bond to play the character out of context of the films.

    This was before RM took the role, so it's a different dynamic.

    I like that clip, @NickTwentyTwo.

    Another anecdote, from 22 March 1963.

    1963: Illustrator Robb's work for the Daily Express serialization of On Her Majesty's Secret Service reportedly using Roger Moore as a photo reference.

    Other contenders. Suggestions of Sean Connery in The Rock, unofficial, I know.

    I was looking for plane reference pics, because this is my life now, when I found this lovely piece of GE-inspired art. By Greek design agency faze for Aegean Airlines, part of a series depicting movie incidents that they wouldn't allow on their flights.

    Something else I happened upon yesterday: this is from Trans-Europ-Express (1966). It's the bedroom of a young Belgian man who obviously wishes his life was a little more exciting:

    Wouldn't mind owning a print of this!

    I can see why they don't allow that on their flights. Especially if that's the pilot! ;)

    The NTTD title logo is featured in this illustration by Janne Iivonen for an article in The New Yorker:

    An editorial illustration commissioned for @newyorkermag for an article about how the film industry is reacting to the pandemic: some studios are postponing their releases until later this year while others, like Universal are making their films available for pay to watch home viewing instead.

    If there was an (official) illustrated NTTD poster, I might have been in the market for one as well!

    May I point out those are dead ringers for the double-taking pigeon (Rock dove) and double-taking dog, both from Moonraker.

    Nice panel.

    Did someone say James Blonde? YouTube recommended this to me for some reason. (Despite the cover shot it's not a tribute to the Third Doctor.)

    Great skit! Some of the jokes didn't land with the audience but I enjoyed it. I am guessing this was during the Roger era? Amazing that they would have that much time between commercials. LOL!

    The outfits look more 60s to me, but I couldn't find a date. I'll admit I've only heard of Carol Burnett because she guest starred in Get Smart, but I've been enjoying these clips and I'll watch more.

    It's certainly entertaining to see Live And Let Die being a top trending phrase on Twitter today.. :D

    IMDb says it's from The Carol Burnett Show, Episode #5.21, first aired March 1, 1972.

    I wonder if he even understood the significance...

    Why is he standing so close to those guys?

    This week's New Yorker has a fascinating article about Victor Vescovo, "the first living creature with blood and bones to reach the deepest point in the Tonga Trench," the deepest part of any ocean (36,000 feet below the surface). After completing his goal in his custom-made submersible, Vescovo ponders the possible reprecussions of his achievement:
    Vescovo had read that the Chinese government has dropped acoustic surveillance devices in and around the Mariana Trench, apparently to spy on U.S. submarines leaving the naval base in Guam; he could damage them. A Soviet nuclear submarine sank in the nineteen-eighties, near the Norwegian coast. Russian and Norwegian scientists have sampled the water inside, and have found that it is highly contaminated. Now Vescovo began to worry that, before long, non-state actors might be able to retrieve and repurpose radioactive materials lying on the seafloor.
    “I don’t want to be a Bond villain,” Vescovo told me. But he noted how easy it would be. “You could go around the world with this sub, and put devices on the bottom that are acoustically triggered to cut cables,” he said. “And you short all the stock markets and buy gold, all at the same time. Theoretically, that is possible. Theoretically.”

    That's a great ad! Yes, I think even James Bond would need a little break after tending to that lot! ;)
