James Bond photo[edit]

If anyone can find a better link than the one I posted for the Davison/Bryant James Bond photo, please feel free to replace the one here. I can't direct-link the photo because the hosting website does not allow this, so you have to hunt the index for the image. I've seen the picture printed in a book but this site is the only online source I could find. 23skidoo 02:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Query?[edit]

Query this:

Nicola Bryant was cast in part because she held dual citizenship in the United States and the UK (because she was married to an American)

Surely this is not the only reason for her casting? Even her strongest detractors would at least admit there were clearly two completely different reasons, at least, for her casting. Dual citizenship hardly seems crucial since she was English and the show was made in England. Format (talk) 01:04, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Continuity issues[edit]

Not one line in these paragraphs is sourced and a lot of it is decidedly trivial fanwankery. Last male companion until Adam? Really, who cares? First bikini since Sarah Jane Smith? How the hell is either of these "continuity"? "First"/"last" cruft belongs on fan sites. ZarhanFastfire (talk) 03:52, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Male eye candy"[edit]

Writing for Radio Times, Patrick Mulkern gave the serial three stars out of five and observed that writer Peter Grimwade "laces his script with homosexual subtext", noting in particular the "male eye candy on display"

The director was a woman. If there's a lot of "male eye candy" on display then it all seems rather heterosexual. Perhaps, as an equally unfounded accusation, one could say that Patrick Mulkern was being mysogynistic in implying that a female director doesn't actually direct in the manner of her own choosing. 92.24.207.218 (talk) 13:39, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
