He was largely regarded as being the best actor to have played 007 in the long-running franchise, often being named as such in polls.

He was knighted by the Queen at Holyrood Palace in 2000.

Evidently they left out his ongoing advocacy of when to strike women.

That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

Yeah, well, I don't have to like the man to enjoy his performances.
Someone on the TV this morning mentioned that there was no release of why he died. I thought, well, given he was 90 natural causes and old age spring to mind.

Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job.

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.
