Excellent, thanks Els.

One thing I would take issue with though: Dalton was more than serviceable. The stories he was given didn't stand up to classics like Dr No, or Casino Royale. But his performance was brilliant, and up to that point the closest to the character in the novels. He was *my* Bond :p And I was heavily into the books at the time. In fact I'd never got on with screen Bond until Dalton came along. Didn't appeal to me much as a kid, though I sat through them with the family. Always preferred the books and found screen Bond jarred with my image of him.

That said: I think Craig is the best of them all. His Bond has a grittiness and moral ambiguity to him that sits very closely with the character in the books.
