Why are the Brosnan bonds on UK TV far more often than the rest? Just something I noticed. One of the ITV channels seem to show them a lot....

    Just a guess on my part but It might be because
    they are modern-ish so plenty have seen them
    and might watch them again. :D although I
    honestly don't know.

    It maybe just seems that way.

    Or they're trying to show Bond's really in touch with his feminine side ! :))
    Before they show it does Bond fly off the handle for no reason and become
    Hard to live with ? :))

    Two possible considerations here...

    The Brosnan era is now firmly in the past, attaining definition as a closed entity by virtue of the Craig era's difference from it, but a greater proportion of Bond fans will remember it from the first time around than is true of the 80s, 70s or 60s eras; i.e. it now has nostalgia value for a sizeable 90s 'Brit Pop' generation of fans as well as for older fans who'd remained loyal to the franchise since well beforehand.

    Also, the Brosnan era's production values remain reasonably close to what modern audiences are used to, so the era can still be recycled on TV as modern rather than 'classic' or 'vintage'.
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    Yes, I think it may be because they are newer compared to the o0lder Bonds, but it's really just a guess.
