M after Dench...
After Dench leaves the role, who do you think would be suitable to replace her?
I'd say David Suchet:
Who's played such roles as Hercule Poirot, Abraham Van Helsing and the British deputy Prime Minister.

By the way, I thought having Dame Judi back for CR was a mistake. It was a great opportunity to introduce a new M.
Make it so Mr Bond! Engage!

PS has a huge acting range. His Ebenezer Scrooge is a favorite.
“I suppose you’ll want all day tomorrow 007..”
“It's only once a year sir.”
“If you ask me it's poor excuse to pick Her Majesty’s pocket.”
M slow sips his brandy as he considers the snowy picture of London outside his window then continues
“If I was to dock you a days wage you’d think yourself ill used. And yet you don’t think Her Majesty ill used when the tax payers pay a day’s wage for no work ”
The next book could begin -Trevelyan was dead to begin with.

If Robinson took over from M he'd be M too wouldn't he, like when Admiral Hargreaves became M. Also, Cleese wasn't actually R, that was a joke by Bond. He was Q in DAD after all.Kristatos wrote:If Robinson got promoted, wouldn't that make him R? And might that not cause confusion with John Cleese's R?Blowfeld wrote:A former Bond as M. Could be interesting.
How about Colin Salmon as M?

I thought M was just a title I didn't know your name began with M.
One more word and I'll have you killed.
(Very badly remembered )
In a way Kristatos is right if they chose to do that way.
But I've always seen M (& Q) as the job titles with the person filling the post nameless.
It was actually "I didn't know it stood for..." before M cuts him off. Clever people like me who talk loudly in restaurants see this as deliberate ambiguity about whether the M of Casino Royale is Barbara Mawdesley or whether Dench is playing a different M.Dr. No wrote:Yeah but they made that joke in CR didn't they.
