Lois Maxwell. Hands down.

Though Samantha Bond comes in second. Worthy, but not the best.

There was another Moneypenny in NSNA. She didn't get much to do though.

Pamela Salem. Anyone else remember her in the HTV kids' fantasy series Into The Labyrinth (I think that's what it was called) with Ron Moody?

I've never heard of it. It didn't have Rod Hull and a windmill in it did it?

Nope. It was on in the late 70's, so my memory of it is somewhat hazy (apart from the rather eerie theme music, which I can still hear playing in my head as though it was yesterday). I remember that it was filmed in Wookey Hole (which, for those not familiar with South West England, is a system of limestone caves in Somerset, not a part of Chewbacca's anatomy), and that it featured a couple of kids who somehow got transported to an underground kingdom where a battle rages between a good wizard (Moody) and a wicked witch (Salem). Beyond that, I can't tell you that much about it.

I should have checked Wikipedia. It was the early 80's, not the late 70's, and it was filmed in Cheddar Caves, not Wookey Hole.

Since I grew up during the Brosnan era, I consider Samantha Bond.

I'm sure she also appeared in Eastenders back in the 80's, when Dirty Den was in it.

But back on topic - Lois Maxwell!!

No from what I have read Q and Moneypenny aren't coming back in Bond 22. Why get rid of mainstay characters like this?

I think Lois Maxwell is the best Moneypenny.

Because they want to change things and they have no idea how to do it.
