BlogalongaBond. One Bond film a month until Bond 23 in November 2012.


With Sean Connery officially too old and bored with 007, it was time for a new, younger Bond, someone with all the charisma of an Australian model. Enter George Lazenby, everyone's fifth favourite James Bond.

Yours with eyebrows raised,
