The next James Bond

[ThisIsMyGuiltyPleasure]

I don't remember any specific sorts of links other than Bond and the other main characters. However I could be wrong because I saw some of them so many years ago now and can't remember them exactly.

In the Sean Connery era were the bond films linked or just totally different stories I cant remember?

Not directly linked but certain characters and organisations make repeated returns. SPECTRE, SMERSH, Blofeld etc etc. The main villain would often be connected to SPECTRE but the films were not direct sequels to each other.

Seeing as this has turned more into a James Bond thread whilst there is no news on a new Bond I see George Lazenby has announced he is retiring completely even down to no longer signing autographs. I believe he had a bad fall last year which may have prompted his decision. He was always a very colourful character who made some odd career decisions. He was also never short of an opinion to two. Famously there was beef between him and Pierce Brosnan and in 2022 he made some inappropriate and homophobic comments that got him axed from a music tour.
