Christopher Cazenove played Bond?

James Suzuki

in wikipedia it says that Christopher Cazenove played Bond in 1973. I don't remember that. Was it a spoof or in the theatre or something like that. or is it just a mistake heres the link, its on the right where they say who has portayed him.

There's a lot of iffy stuff on Wikipedia; still, the article says that in 1973 there was a BBC Omnibus documentary on great British heroes, such as Bond, Richard Hannay, and Bulldog Drummond, and that Cazenove played all the characters in dramatized bits. It doesn't sound improbable to me: I saw a 1960s BBC special on Graham Greene that dramatized scenes from his novels.

You never know what Wikipedia might say. )

I did a little searching and apparently it's not just Wikipedia fiction. Scroll down on the linked page and you can see a picture of Cazenove in the "sawblade" sequence from the novel Goldfinger:

Cool find. I wasn't trying to say I knew it to be false, I was just responding to your mention of iffy stuff on Wikipedia. )

Didn't think you were, Mr. B--mine was a generic comment about the reliability of Wikipedia.
