I always questioned which would come first and now we know. When the milestone is attained, EON should "knight" this website as a national treasure

------------Bookies have reported that 007 could be played by one of the UK’s most prominent TV talents of the last few years. It’s none other than James Norton, who has earned acclaim in the likes of Grantchester, Happy Valley and War and Peace. Now, he’s set to star in new BBC drama McMafia; a role that has revived previous speculation around a possible stint as James Bond. According to William Hill, a flurry of money has been placed on him over the last 48 hours, causing a dramatic cut in his odds. In fact he is now the favourite on 5/2, with Tom Hardy on 3/1 and Jack Huston on 4/1. Aidan Turner is priced on 7/1, while Idris Elba is on 10/1. Other competitors include Tom Hiddleston (10/1), Michael Fassbender (12/1), Travis Fimmel (14/1), Ricky Whittle (16/1) and Henry Cavill (20/1).----------There also have been accusations that McMafia essentially is Norton’s audition as James Bond with the first episode seeing the Happy Valley star suit up in a tuxedo, come out of the ocean in swimming trunks, flirt with women across the world and fight a bunch of Israeli gangsters. “I did warn Hoss and James that if they wrote the first scene with me coming out of a cab in a tux they would stir some of [the rumors about Bond]. For me, I’m personally very grateful that Daniel Craig is going to do at least one more [Bond] film, I’m a big fan of his,” he added.
