No Time To Die – the last James Bond film to star Daniel Craig as 007 – is almost out in UK cinemas.
After a pandemic-related delay, we’ll finally get to see Rami Malek’s sinister Bond villain Safin and Lashana Lynch’s new agent Nomi on the big screen.
And while speculation swirls about who’ll be next to play the suave secret agent in future films, let’s also take a look back at some of Bond’s best moments.
James has been played by seven actors since 1962: Craig, Sean Connery, David Niven, George Lazenby, Sir Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan.
Between them, they’ve been dishing out Bond one-liners for seven decades now.
You can find some of the most iconic dialogue here…
