This is the guide to the James Bond movies you never knew you needed.
The Bond films have entertained, excited and sometimes irritated cinema-goers (and ITV4 viewers) for more than fifty years, inspiring awe and adoration around the world for the inimitable 007 - Her Majesty's most incorrigible spy.
After all, who hasn't wanted to kick a big bloke with metal teeth in the groin? Fly a small plane out of a pretend horse's bottom? Or push a middle-aged man into space? No one, that's who.
In 007's world of sexy espionage, there are international criminal organisations to infiltrate, henchmen to outsmart and endless one-liners to crack. This unofficial dossier of Bond's best moments is an affectionately irreverent take on the spine-tingling highs and jaw-dropping lows of the greatest (and sometimes worst) spy in movie history.
So fire up the Aston Martin DB5, dust off your jetpack and ask Moneypenny to hold your calls - John Rain is taking us on a journey through each of the twenty-four films to date. Our target: Bond, James Bond.
