Film Quiz Friday: The Name’s Bond, James Bond

We’ve been expecting you, Mr Bond, and with the UK release of No Time To Die, this week’s film quiz is about all things 007.

The 25th James Bond film was originally due out in cinemas before Film Quiz Friday even started, so to celebrate, we’re shaking (but not stirring) up the format this week and giving you 30 questions about 007 and the actors who’ve played him. Oh, and there are NO SPOILERS for No Time To Die, so don’t worry about that.

Once you’ve completed all three rounds, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. As always, this is just for fun, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback.  If Bond’s not your bag, don’t worry – Film Quiz Friday will return…
