[OT] James Bond Producer Halts Plans for Female 007 TV Series.

[The Doctor]

Oh!! Come on, you heathen!! ;-P Miss Moneypenny was M's
secretary, not Q's!!

Verified! And Q is the quartermass diviaion .

What the fuck is a "diviaion", Gobble-de-gook??
And "quatermass" was a character from a totally different
series, wasn't he??

Dave is wrong, (no surprise there)... in the James Bond movies Q
was called Q for his job title, Quartermaster. It wasn't his
name and it had nothing to do with Quatermass. In the Ian
Fleming books there was a "Q branch", which was the Dept that
produced the various spy gadgets that the agents needed.

And Q was the head of the 'Q Branch' .. i.e. 'The Quartermasters Branch'

Something like that... :-)

Not the head of Q

Amazon also reportedly suggested a spin-off based on Miss Moneypenny -
the secretary, so that would be a "super exciting" movie watching her
doing the typing and filing, answering the phone, and making the tea
for Q's visitors. (Of course, the idiots would have moronically
rebooted the character to be another spy instead.)  :-\

There is actually a series of official James Bond books based around
Miss Moneypenny.
The Moneypenny Diaries
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moneypenny_Diaries>
There is also a fiction book about the woman that is supposedly the
inspiration for Miss Moneypenny.
One Woman's War: A Novel of the Real Miss Moneypenny
<https://www.amazon.com/One-Womans-War-Novel-Moneypenny/dp/006326742X>

Let us be inclusive.

Now testing for life in other parts of Usenet.

UMMMM!! Before I cut the Cross-post, Gobble-de-gook was also
posting this into akt.fan.james-bond (in Gobble-de-gooks lame
attempt to become Top Poster there, perhaps) ..... but I've
got to ask ... "Does any Newsgroup on UseNet begin with 'akt'??

Dave was doing his usual troll cross-posting to other newsgroups
to bring even more weirdos from those other groups here... it's
what he does. (Which is why this group is the way it is and
potential newbies stay away after lurking around for a bit.) In
this case though he didn't type alt.fan.james-bond properly...
so we had a lucky escape.
But nobody from there would have told him anything other than
the title Q in the Bond movies was for Quartermaster anyway.
(That's even if that newsgroup has anybody there!)

WE have a james Bond Group on usenet so ...
