The very first screen adaptation of James Bond was an episode for the anthology show Climax! which was broadcast on CBS in 1954. The novel Casino Royale had only been out in the States for six months and its sequel Live and Let Die was yet to be released in the territory and so what resulted was James Bond through a prism we were to never see again.
James Bond, British secret agent, becomes Jimmy Bond, American operative. And the results are discombobulating to say the least.
But is there fun to be had in viewing Bond in such an odd way?
Let's take a look at the 1954 TV special of Casino Royale...

And the weirdest thing was they made Bond American, and Felix British!! The best thing about the 1954 adaptation was Peter Lorre playing the prototypical Bond villain. He was glorious in the role. Mads Mikkelsen was good, but he had nothing on Lorre.

I have been following this series with fervour and interest. The only James Bond media I have experienced is Golden Eye for N64. I am excited to see how that game fits in this trans-media storytelling and review. Also, Chris, thanks for your determination and commitment to this and the Doctor Who series. You are creating constant and high-quality reviews.

Very kind, thanks Danny. The videogames will obviously be a way off just now but I'm planning to do a video for each novel and each bit of performed media and then overview videos covering in-between comics and games. However, some of them are totemic (GoldenEye video game being a good example) so those ones may get videos of their own. I'm not sure yet!

The only bond “film” I’ve never seen… surely it can’t be as bad as casino royale 67 😂

It is a product of the time. Done live, no idea what the character would become. You could see Lorre doing the carpet beater scene so good if they could do it though.

What other franchises are you interested in? No expectations for more videos, just a general curiosity. :)

The plan was to start a new marathon each year (around June) and eventually go through Red Dwarf, MCU and Star Wars but not entirely sure when or which one will be next!
