- We obviously know agent 007 very well through the many films and novels over the years, but what do we know about his fellow 00 agents? In this video, I detail the various appearances and mentions of the other members of the 00 section in both the films and the Fleming novels.

Think about it, if there's no information on 001 then he's literally the best spy.
That's why he's number one. Number 9 dies constantly, everybody knows who's James Bond-- etc--
@@afonsolucas2219 I’d like to believe that MI6 capitalized on Bond’s infamy by making him the obvious distraction. It would give some operational flexibility for the other agents to work while the villains focused their attention on specifically 007. He’s probably talked about by villains like John Wick was in his franchise.
“He’s a man of focus, commitment, and shear fucking will. If Bond wants you dead then you’re living on borrowed time. The only way to stop him would be a missile strike powerful enough to level a small island”
@@afonsolucas2219 exactly. even when he's completely changed his face and voice, the first thing he does when on a top secret mission is tell a complete stranger his full name then have a drink.
001 is actually that old guy from squid game
We know 001 isn't bald (or is wearing a wig)
Damn, 009 is one unlucky agent. Knife to the back, dying as he reaches a place he can get it treated, didn't kill the enemy even with a headshot, and has his one of a kind car get stolen, and drowned.
Also from his facial expressions, he's not really a 00 material, maybe just good at sneaking around but not convincing enough.
I was so confused in the chasing scene in the forest, he's a highly trained agent, why didn't he stop to fight? 1v2 is normal to an agent right?
The guy on the cliff in Living Daylights screams 'noooo' like a little girl as he's about to die!
@@mikearchibald744 Wouldn't u?
@@garyjones2561 I don't think he's a super secret agent who's undergone extreme training
006, Alec Trevelyan, he is one of the best Bond Villians in my Opinion, because hes so equal to Bond.
I dare to say he is better than Bond, in goldeneye he had a lot of opportunities to kill Bond, even in the final hand to hand combat 006 bested Bond and he would've won only if he wasn't distracted by Natalya.
Eh. He could habe been if more history was built up between the two in preceding films.
I can remember am imagine an even better opponent fighting James Bond, everybody here knows the Bond theme? da-da-da-da / da-da-da-da-da-da-da ?
Of course you know, everybody knows one of the most famous tunes of movie history. Here comes the kicker "Hitman Agent 47" a direct contradiction. A Hitman like Jason Bourne, but also an Agent.
Wish somebody would create an Epic Rap Battle of History with those two. Would be hilarious.
For those of you you do not know him, only saw the first movie, (second should be weak). Timothy Olifant left an impression of this character that is hard to top.

Coincidence? Movie was released in 2007.
Pleasant dreams about, who could be the best.
Sincerely
mon
The best villains are the ones thst challenge the hero.
006 asks us the question, "What if Bond was bad?"
e's from t Yorkshire so bloody good
When I was a kid, I used to have this idea that 007 & 008 were huge rivals. With the way M seems to threaten 007 with the prospect of 008, it seemed like he took those threats personally lol
That's actually hilarious!
M: "008, there's been an incident in Beirut I need you to clean up immediately."
008: *facepalming* "Oh bloody hell, what did James do this time?"
It seems that 006, 007 and 008 are the best 00-agents. 006 claims (and shows) in the movie that he is at least as good as Bond and 008 is always M's agent of choice when problems with Bond occur.
@MimonBarakaFan67™ Weiß natürlich wieder keiner!
Well, nothing is known of 001. So as far as being a “spy” goes, it would seem that he’s actually doing his job right especially when compared to how infamous James Bond is to villains.
Read in one of the books that retirement from 00 service was mandatory at a certain age but that most agents didn't live that long. Saves having to pay them a pension.
I remember in one of the stories that Bond has a friendly interaction with an operative at an embassy (I think Athens?) who's hinted as being a former '00'.
in the US military you can get a pension at age 38
If memory serves, mandatory retirement was at age 45, and was mentioned in *Moonraker* (the novel, not the film).
@@srujan00 In the UK it's 40 (22 years service) - if you join at 16.5 that doesn't count until you're 18.
@@radtech497 Could have been an interesting plot point in the movie considering that the Roger Moore was in his 50s in that film
I think it would be super interesting and cool to see a Bond movie go into more detail and depth about the 00 section.
Or spin offs and side stories about other agents, M's slice of life, Spectre stories and many more. James Bond franchise has a lot of potential but it seems that the Brocolli's don't know how to handle an IP.
Franchise the shit out of that.
It would be cool if they did a oo6 movie
yea, could even be a new franchise, the 00's or something like that, rather than just Bond over and over again. Now with Daniel Graig hanging up his boots would be perfect timing to give Bond new life
This isn’t Star Wars lads, let’s reel it in for a minute 😂
008 is Austin powers
009 is johnny English
We need to make that canon
001 Dudley Doo rite
002 Deputy Dawg
003 Frank Drebin
004 Scooby Doo
005 Bartman
006 Etcetera
Nice profile picture and username you got there.
Let's not forget Agent WD40
Which ones are Ethan Hunt, Solid Snake, and Agent P?
@@ericlanglois9194 I thought that was C3-PO’s cousin
I did always enjoy the running bit of how "008 would replace Bond" if either he screwed up, got pulled, or killed, as well as how Bond seems to respect him. I got the impression that the reason 008 is pretty much the only other 00 Agent besides Bond to never die through the series was because he was a lot more by the book, reserved, focused, and down to earth compared to other 00 Agents. Sort of in comparison to Bond's tendency to get more aggressive and occasionally reckless than may have always been necessary.
I always think of 008 as the ‘jobsworth’ of the 00 section. Always doing things by the book. Unlike 009 who’s the class clown.
Didn’t 007 tell Goldfinger that if he kills him 008 will definitely kill Goldfinger?
@@paullohse3038 Sort of. The exchange was something like:
Bond: "If I fail to report, 008 replaces me."
Goldfinger: "Then I trust that he will be more careful."
Fun Fact: 007 was a signature used by a real agent which literally meant "2 balls and a cane". Ian Flemming was himself a top agent with his own elite team.
As a kid I always LOVED seeing other 00 agents. I remember in the game boy game rescuing 004 and that shit blew my kiddy mind
Everything or Nothing.
@urbanrain3622 should've been a film with Brosnan as bond, would've been his fifth and a good one to I bet
James Bond: “Am I supposed to feel sorry for you? “
Alec trevelyan: “No, you were supposed to die for me.”
Did you know one of the 00 agents in Thunderball is female? There's a rare behind the scenes picture of the meeting room that can be found showcasing that one of the agents is a woman. (I have included this picture in my personal Thunderball review as well, at the part where I discuss the particular scene.)
But there's something about that scene that a lot of Bond fans get screwed up. That's not 001 on the far left over there(or far right, if you are M, and you are facing them). Think about it. If you were British, and you were M, would you position them so that 001 is to your far right, or your far left? British actor "Peter Roy" says that he was told that he was portraying "006" in this scene, and he was seated to Sean Connery's right, which further confirms this. This means that the Double-O Agents to Sean Connery's left are: Bill Timothy 008, Peter Smith 009, John Wolfgramm 0010, a female 0011(I thought of a good name for her too. What do you think of "Llewelyn Freeman 0011"?), Sam Johnston 0012, and 0013(and I even thought of a good name for him. What would you think of "Bruce Bullinger 0013"?).
wasn't it 001?
Audra Lambert From what I can tell, I think she's 003.
She must be the famous 'Jane Bond' the world is hyping!
@@ErectedGasCan Trust DutchBondFan on this. He knows what he's talking about.
While not in movies there was also two mentions of other 00 agents
Goldeneye 007 N64- Q mentioned a warning about taking caution with C4 and told bond to remeber what happened to 004 in Beirut possibly meaning 004 died via explosive mishap
007 Everything or Nothing - Bond was tasked in meeting 003 at a safehouse in a mission and later having to rescue him
The (presumed) 003 in the image in Thunderball is actually a woman. That would mean the 003 in that scene either retired or met a tragic end before being replaced by the male 003 who was found at the start of View to a Kill.
003 was also in the game Everything Or Nothing. He was unfortunately killed by the villain, Nikolai Diavolo
Technically, in the fictional Fleming universe, the 00s are Intellegence Officers, not agents, though "agent" is also used to denote them. Bond was/is a naval Commander, militarily speaking. Other 00s were officers in various branches of the British military. At least this is all my understanding. Good video. I'm a huge Bond fan and appreciate this.
As in Commander of a ship?
@@mroctober3657 Yes. Not that high of a rank by the way.
It would be similar to a Major I believe.
Fleming based Bond on himself, by the way. Fleming was a naval intelligence officer during WWII.
If you notice in any of the films where he boards a royal naval ship he’s in uniform.
In one of the source books for the 1980s James Bond RPG, it's strongly implied John Steed (The Avengers, played by Patrick McNee) is one of the Double-O's
Yep, he was included in the Bond world. Same with Emma Peel(obviously Diana Riggs played in the first Bond film). Cheers!
Okay, so, Sean Bean, 006, mentions how he was always better - implying that the 00’s are ranked? Plus why is 008 always the one who’ll replace Bond? Again, this adds credence to there being a ranking system. So is 001 like Superman or something? lol
More like Blast.
And if there's 000 that would be Saitama :D
@@voilvelev6775 I was making a joke, thanks.
I'm pretty sure I remember M and others throughout the Bond series referring to Bond as their best agent or "top man," though.
Also, I have the exact *opposite* interpretation of Bean's statement - he tells Bond that he was always better specifically because Bond had always been regarded as better. If Bean had been regarded as better, there wouldn't have been a need to remind Bond of that.
@UCNJ6bR2WmNu2NE0jPg34aog So was he you fucking moron
@@CraftySouthpaw Unless he was rubbing it in? See? I can filet your statement too, like you attempted to do. Bond has no reaction to Sean Bean’s statement - he’s either letting the statement fly because it’s not true, or he’s conceding that it *is* true. See? I can highlight words too. I didn’t ask for your opinion thanks. If you disagree with me, post it in the main and watch weak-minded trolls try to tell you how you’re wrong. Bye now!
Agent 009 became pennywise in the end.
You'll float too, you'll float too, you'll float too
@@kimjongun5691 he means Alfred. I'm sure you know that already though
@@zainshaikh527 then it's Pennyworth
I always assumed its 9 00s, this is one of the highest rank in MI6 and in espionage. You enter the top rank of 00 by either being hired, or past agent has been killed, fired or has retired
When people started talking about making the next James Bond a woman I did think, why not try making a spinoff movie about a different 00 agent who's a woman? Doesn't seem like a bad idea to me, and neatly sidesteps the issue of how strnage it would probably feel recasting a historically male and very masculine character as a woman.
One of the original 00 agents is actually a woman
@@tbg4ming126 the point is that a male role is associated with "007". The franchise is d o n e DONE if they cast that black chick as the de facto 007 in the next film (I wonder if there will even be one)
To be fair to the other 00 agents, we only hear of them when they fail. We never hear of their success, or even when another agent covers for the failure of another. I assume we would never get to watch the missions where 007 is killed early and another agent finishes his mission. (Fan theory: That's why the actor changes.)
My fan theory is all the other 00's are actually hype proficient and professional and Bond is the black sheep of their order for always drinking, sleeping with the enemies girl, and being abnoxious. They secretly hate him for somehow always completing absurd plans and failing upwards.
you should check out the Tarantino 007 movie script. The villains were going to be past 007 agents. to give credence the fan theory that "James Bond" is a title.
@@mandalorian_guy In the books Bond was fed up with MI6 and always a half step away from quitting. Dalton played the role closest to the books.
@@Inthatgoodway 007 is a title, James Bond is a personal name.
@@mandalorian_guy I think you're right the majority of the time. 001, 006, and 008 all seem extremely professional. (If my theory is true, if we never hear anything about 001, he must almost never fail.)
However, 009 is almost always incredibly unlucky. He might be the Dopey of the group.
In the seated row of 00 agents being briefed in Thunderball, the 3rd chair had a woman. That's the 3rd from the left when looking at the backs of the chairs. That might only be seen in some stills.
Very interesting. I had no idea until now, that the LTK agents went above 009.
Same here, I'd assumed that the OO was a reference to them having numbers under 010. But, I guess that also makes some sense.
The triple digits makes me think there are hundreds of 00 agents, but that's just my opinion.
6:34 that strange green lamp on his desk is an oil lamp, it is always interesting to watch old movies and see out dated tech that was still being used as most people including myself still own and use oil lamps when the power goes out in winter as it provides heat and light.
Now a days headquaters would use a back up generator for an unbroken power supply if there was an outage.
Bing wasn’t lying in casino royale when he said “I understand 00’s have a short life expectancy, so your mistake will be short lived.”
009 in spectre, mention at the car chasse between bond and dave batista, when bond look for options on his car, one option was "music for 009"
In the novels they do mentioned the other 00s but they are portrayed as different individuals and they even mentioned that James Bond had a predecessor of the 007 code name who was killed by a spectre Assassin in a river Bank in France.
This man is the Mark Felton of James Bond videos.
My pet peeve with the 007 universe is that how poorly it was expanded. Compared to other successful franchise like Star Wars and Mission Impossible there's rarely any side stories or spin offs other than JB jr and young JB. I don't know why no one holding the right thinking about making 00 agents spin offs, where it focused on other 00 agents. Probably compilation of short stories or a TV series.
OMG DUDE I NEED TO CONSUME MORE MEDIA OMG I LOVE CRAPPY FRANCHISES °0°
That’s because it’s the James Bond franchise not the 00 franchise. It’s focused on one agent’s adventures. Spin offs would dilute the brand in Barbara Broccoli’s opinion.
I think it is a missed opportunity because Broccoli and salzman all about the money. They wouldn’t spend money on reprising characters. All they wanted was the lead and money penny, Q and M.
Nice job, JBond007. We needed this catalogued in detail. I put the link up on the MI6 Community TH-cam thread.
There is one notable exception/mention : in a novelisation (possibly by Ian Fleming) 005's name is Stuart Thomas, he's yet to feature in a 007 movie.
It would be great to see 007 having help with some other 00 Agent. It would make the Bond lore much better. Sadly, we all know how most of the James Bond movies works, they prefer to make 007 as the perfect hero instead of someone that needs helps sometimes or having another character to steal the spotlight even for some minutes. Same logic with Batman, "why making him having a side-kick (Robin) if we can make a entire movie of Batman solving everything by himself?"
We get this in ‘no time to die’ the newest film.
Outstanding video about a little-known but sought-after aspect of the Bond universe.
003 is also mentioned in the game, Everything or Nothing. He is captured, tortured, and then dies while investigating Diavolo.
003 is also mentioned in the Everything or Nothing game and gets killed by Nikolai Diavolo (Willem Dafoe)
This is very well done on your explanation
It's really strange why other 00 agents arent used more. They could literally have a Marvel style cinematic universe with other 00 agents in solo movies and crossovers.
Because it's called James Bond and it's about James Bond. It's not a cinematic universe and never has been and hopefully, never will be.
Hey, you got Felix Leiter in a bunch of movies. What more do you want? ;D
No they are used in the novels mainly but ..... they are completely different people from what the films portrayed them as
There was just after tomorrow never dies was released the intent to create a spin off with Wei Lyn doing her own spy adventures, Jinx from die another day also was potentially slated for films too. A cinematic universe is possible.
@@frag2k12 yeah I heard about the Jinx spinoff but it never came into fruition for unknown reasons
Very interesting video. Thanks. You obviously did your homework!
003 is in the game everything or nothing
Killed by willem Dafoe lol
Yep i was thinking of him too. And he seemed to know Bond more than just as a departement collegue.
Like 006, seemed to know Bond 'well' too.
What if 004 is really female. She undoubtedly knows Bond 'more than well'...

@@TheAmericanPrometheus shhhhh🤫
Excellent list well done 👍
Great video!
Good summary. I didn't remember anything about the lower numbers. I also forgot that Sean Bean was ex-006.
Extremely interesting.
I have enjoyed finding out about the other 00 agents but have not come across such a good list before.
Though i think the 00 agents must be rather equal in skill, though their personal traits such as personality or psyche must be taken to account when comparing them.
Bond might be alive by canon, but he has been severely injured at several points, and even "killed" because of sloppiness in the (NON-CANON) Never Say Never.
Though 00 agents have been killed under similar circumstances that 007 survived, also other MI6 operatives like 707 has been killed, when the situation has not been in any way thought to be hazardous, and the deaths are overwhelmingly obscure.
007 has three traits that must be keeping him alive.
Luck. He has lady fortune on his side.
In missions, gambling and the ladies.
(Pre-Craig)
Charisma, class and presense.
He has sweet talked himself out of dozens of rough spots.
The gadgets.
Good thing that the missions happen to bring forward just the 'definitive death' situations, that the Q-branch equipment happens to corrulate with...
And what if it just happens that 007 is the only operative that constantly stumbles upon villains who feel a need to tell Bond what their plans are, and especially, how they plan to kill him-then leaving him to die without supervision or a single guard?
The old cliche that villains actually tell Bond their plan which many stories like to parody isn't really all that well founded in the movies. It's much more common that Bond has figured out the plan throughout the course of the movie, and when he comes face to face with the villain near the end of the movie it's usually Bond showing off that he knows what the plan is by telling it to the villain, all for the benefit of the audience. It's basically a Poirot moment, only it's the preclimax of the story rather than the climax as there's a whole bunch of shooting and explosions to follow.
Course shooting him on the spot and not having any conversation at all would of course be way wiser on the villain's part.
We’ll, looks like 007’s luck just ran out lol
The greatest hero was actually 009 in "Octopussy"(1983)!!!
If I remember correctly the other 00s in the training exercise were actually cast because they bore passing resemblances to different bond actors.
Yes, they were definitely intended to have a Bondian look about them to keep the viewer guessing, despite everyone knowing Dalton was Bond!
I had always assumed for some reason that Green Four was a double O agent, possibly mishearing as 004 when younger. He puts up a pretty decent account of himself.
I think it would be good if another 00 agent worked with bond for an entire film and didn't get killed off.
Why does all the other 00-agent die the whole time lol
Tom Lock Ikr
Tom Lock it stands for "I know right!"
Actually, there are still 8 active Double-O Agents currently. There is "Charles Basildon 001"(as seen in the "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" comic book mini-series), "John Winter 002"(as seen in "The Living Daylights" James Bond film, and the "Liquidate Bond" story in the James Bond comic strip. Yes, he has recovered from his insanity, and has been reinstated, being given his old code number again, as it was not being used), "Scarlett Papava 004"(as seen in "The World is Not Enough" film, and mentioned in the "Devil May Care" and "The Facts of Death" James Bond novels), "Jack Giddings 006"(mentioned in "The Moneypenny Diaries: Guardian Angel" novel), "James Bond 007", "Bill Timothy 008"(as seen in the "Thunderball" film, and mentioned in the "Goldfinger" film), "John Wolfgramm 0010"(mentioned in "The Man with the Red Tattoo" novel), and "Cederic Lord 0011"(mentioned in the "Moonraker" novel. Yes, he turned up. Keep in mind, Bond was held captive and tortured for 14 months in "Die Another Day").
I understand double o's have very low life expectency-james bond in Skyfall
".. a very SHORT life expectency .." and that was from Casino Royale not Skyfall.
Wait They don't stop at 009
Captain Norman Nash is killed by Red Grant in From Russia With Love. Nash is an agent sent by M. While his quick death suggested he may not be a 00, he does carry a similar attaché case to Bond’s suggesting he too might be a 00.
Along with lacking the skill and luck of Bond, the other 00's also show fear and panic that Bond never does; Trevelyan being the other exception.
They know that they don't have plot armor
Fascinating!
Always so proud to know that my grandfather was in Ian Flemings 30 commando assault unit during WW2.
If there’s a double-oh-eleven, and there’s a double-oh-twelve, doesn’t that make Bond triple-oh-seven?
When it comes to terms with numbers go past 9, it kinda gets confusing tbh, but wonder if there is a triple 0's exist in the universe and how they are compare to double 0's, also what about single 0's as well?
00 meand he is licenced to kill
Did you leave out Patrick Macnee as Sir Godfrey Tibbett in A View To a Kill? He was definitely an MI6 agent, and I always thought it was implied he was an older former 00 agent.
He was an avenger 😉
Yep, it's rumored he was a 00 as John Steed. Emma Peel(Diana Rigg) was also supposedly part of the organization but not in 00 status.
Edi:I have zero sources for this but I've been told this by all the bond super fans over the years
You would imagine that all the other 00 agents were the equal of Bond . After all they have all achieved the status of a 00 Agent and passed the same test , so they should be as formidable an operative in the field as 007 himself. It’s interesting to note that all the 00 agents seem to be men too, but perhaps that’s just a relic from the old 1960’s heritage of the source material? There are probably lots of female 00 Agents. It’s just that we haven’t heard about them yet? Judy Dench’s M and of course Miss Moneypenny are technically female agents though perhaps not quite 00’s?
In real life you will have Special Forces Operators who are all excellent but will be slightly better at certain skills than others.
Awesome...
First few minutes of "Living Daylights". I seem to remember the agent who gets caught in the tree, gets down, and is paintballed in the back. Agent spins around, and takes another paintball to the chest. Agent then pulls a silenced pistol, and shoots the soldier that shot him. If he's a 00, he's also SMERSH.
As far as I can remember, the SMERSH agent is paintballed by one of the soldiers, then turns around and blows him away, and we don't see the other 00 again. Not sure when it happens
Great video. Liked and shared. 👍🏻 ➡️
Thank you.
very cool video
001 is the best agent of MI6
I used to think that was a 00 Agent in the Living Daylights that is killed by the guy posing as a Milkman. But I guess he was just a guard. He got a decent showing for a single guard.
I always had the impression the Ronson from the pre-title sequence of Skyfall was a 00 agent, whose number is never explicitly said out loud. But maybe he was an agent like Silva; in his case M’s man in Istanbul.
I love that he's the best but also considers his peers able to do the jobs he does. Either they're all badasses or he's just so good that he's naive.
I'm pretty sure you've got all of them! (Except the continuation novels but I don't think it's even possible to find all of them in there!)
Well, I can tell you what I know. Starting with "Miles Messervy 001"(the original 001, mentioned in the "James Bond 007 Role Playing In Her Majesty's Secret Service Basic Game" book. "Is now deceased") then, "Charles Basildon 001"(as seen in the "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" comic book mini-series. All they say, is that Charles Basildon is a Double-O Agent, and that he is the top agent in MI6, but his number is NOT "007". Knowing how British are, and only being able to choose from numbers "001" to "0013", which number do you think they would designate as the "Number One" agent in MI6? That's how I arrived at that. "Is presumed dead"). Then there is "Edward Donne 001"(mentioned in the James Bond novel called "Doubleshot", but I don't recall seeing the name "Edward Donne" in the novel. He is simply referred to by his code number prefix, "001". "Is currently active"). Then we have "Bill Tanner 002"(the original 002, mentioned in the "James Bond 007 Role Playing In Her Majesty's Secret Service Basic Game" book. Was promoted to "Chief of Staff"). "John Winter 002"(played by actor "Glyn Baker" as seen in "The Living Daylights" film, and the "Liquidate Bond" story from the James Bond comic strip. "Is currently active"). "Jack Mason 003"(voiced by actor "James Arnold Taylor". Jack was the original 003, as seen in the "Everything or Nothing" James Bond video game. "Deceased"), "Jason Walters 003"(supposedly, this is the name of the 003 who was found dead in the James Bond film "A View to a Kill", but I can't find where Wikipedia got that name from. It's not in the script. "Deceased"), "Aidan Flemmings 004"(played by "Frederick Warder". This was the original 004. Supposedly the name of the 004 who was assassinated in "The Living Daylights" James Bond film. There again, I can't find where Wikipedia got this name from. "Deceased"), "Scarlett Papava 004"(as seen in "The World is Not Enough" film, and mentioned in the "Devil May Care" and "The Facts of Death" James Bond novels. "Currently Active"). "Stuart Thomas 005"(the original 005, mentioned in the "Colonel Sun" James Bond novel, and as seen in the "Colonel Sun" James Bond graphic novel. "Was promoted to Head of Station G"), "Alec Trevelyan 006"(played by "Sean Bean". Alec was the original 006, as seen in the "Goldeneye" film, and mentioned in the "Goldeneye" novel. "Deceased"), "Jack Giddings 006"(portrayed by actor "Peter Roy", seated to Sean Connery's right in the "Thunderball" film. He is mentioned in "The Moneypenny Diaries: Guardian Angel" James Bond novel, presumably, this was the next "O-Agent" after Alec Trevelyan to be assigned the 006 code number prefix. "Currently Active"), "Andy Renton 006"(presumably, this is the 006 that is mentioned in the "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" novel but, there again, I don't recall seeing this name in that novel. They simply refer to him as "006", and that he was the second best Double-O Agent only to Bond at that time. So that means that this 006 might actually be the same one mentioned in the Moneypenny Diaries. The name "Andy Renton" is believed to be purely conjectural). "James Bond 007"(as seen in all forms of James Bond medium. Bond was born Nov. 11th, 1919, 1920, 1927, 1930, 1944, 1945, 1946, 1953 or 1975, depending on which James Bond timeline you prefer. Then the movies and stories simply fall into place based on what chronological order they occur in. Bond originally became a Double-O Agent in 1951, at the age of 30, with his first mission being the "Casino Royale" mission, and his final mission is believed to be "The Killing Zone" novel in 1980 at the age of 59, where Bill Tanner is murdered. Bond was a Double-O Agent for 30 years, and successfully completed over 200 missions. That's an average of 1 mission every 2 months. "Currently Active"). "Nick Fallon 008"(played by "Christopher Neame". Nick was the original 008, as seen in the "Licence to Kill" film, and mentioned in "The Living Daylights" film. "Deceased"). "Unnamed 008"(an unnamed 008 is mentioned in the "Bill Timothy 008"(as seen in the "Thunderball" film. It has been commented that he looked a little bit like "Ringo Starr" in that scene. Also seen in the 1998 "James Bond" Game Boy video game. He was mentioned in the "James Bond 007 VARGR" comic book series. One suggestion is that his name may have been "Victor Grant 008". "Deceased").

What can I say, he's a blast from the past.
I'm shocked Barbara Broccoli hasn't made all 12 00's brothers, seems like the the careless decisions she's started to make these days
Just a thought here... so you know how every movie studio is making buttloads of "universe" films? The MCU started with Iron Man, then expanded into this huge thing were all manner of super heroes have their own stand alone adventure or backstory movies/tv series. They even tried it with the classic horror genre (but unfortunately went for big name star with Tom Cruise over having an actually well written script and that killed the whole franchise). So why not have something like this with the 00's? Presumably they're all super agents so just imagine all the killer movies you could come up with when you have eight other agents who supposedly are on par with Bond (never knew there were 4-digit "00's like 0012, etc. I thought the whole point was that their numbers were 3-digits so if you were a 00 you were among nine best agents around).
Less well known is Sean Bean killed Daniel Craig in the series "Sharpe" Sharpe's Eagle (TV Episode 1993) - Daniel Craig as Berry
Please send me the episode number, I'll scour the youtube channel for the clip
@@mississaugaicedogs It turns out Sharpe's sergeant did the final dispatching. th-cam.com/video/fu5hcvbKaxo/w-d-xo.html
During the meeting in Thunderball, at least one of the OO agents can be seen to be a woman.
Rarely mentioned, passed over quickly, sometimes only visible in the widescreen version.
The 'double-o' prefix is sometimes implied by later spy writers to be referencing the real 'double cross' (XX) or 'twenty' committee (XX is twenty in Roman numerals) that existed during WWII.
The business of the betrayal of the Cossacks may also reference the British abandonment of the 'Chetniks' to the Soviets toward the end of WWII.
Sorry if this is considered too off topic, but I'd like to mention the adult spy parody book series that featured an Agent 0008, specifically because in one of the books there was a mention of the unauthorized by them appearance of a different Agent 0008 in the film Our Man Flint.
In Everything or Nothing, you’re sent to rescue 003 from a Platinum mine in Peru. When you find him, he’s being interrogated, and is shot before you’re able to act.
Easter egg having two meanings there, Mr Fabergé.
I think there is a real opportunity for 00 TV series, set during the cold war. Perhaps with a bit more of a gritty, Jason Bourne feel, but also 50's/60's/70's nostalgia.
1:08 "That's it Joe! You're out of it!"
003 is also mentioned in the game "everything or nothing"
you are right about 007 was best in 00 section but not about Silva.
He directly says to the Bond that he was the favorite of M. Which makes him also 00 and the best one before the Bond.
cheers.
You missed Boswell, Nigel Boswell agent 006. Favorite drink mojito... flaming.
I put on the movie soundtracks in the background when i watch these vids lol
3 double 00 agents is akin to the 3 Sandbaggers from the series "The Sandbaggers". Both are Sandbaggers & double 00 agents are based in London and sent in to be muscle rather than intelligence work.
0011 & 0012? I didn't think there were such agent numbers as those in the 00 agent program.
The movie the Rock is what really happen to the original Bond.
Thank you for proving my point...
009 1/2, Kelly Robinson - played by eddie murphy in I-spy.
Maybe there should be a prequel series about how the 00 section was formed.
I think they need to make separate story or movie for this 00 agent with James Bond is not the main character
That's what the latest movie is supposed to be about. handing off the reigns to someone else
I think it would be cool to see Bond go rogue and have M send the other 00 after him. Kinda like in the Dredd movie
Suck on it Bond!
So most likely 007 and 008 are the best that M has, 007 is always sent on the most dangerous missions and 008 is always serving as "backup" in case of the emergency
003 appeared in the video game Everything or Nothing.
Raoul Da Silva is one of the coolest, scsriest and most dangerous villains 🙏💪
going to have to update this now that No time to Kill is out
There's also Bond turning down the Istanbul mission in Licence to Kill to go after Sanchez. Hope it wasn't too important. Also hope that Bill Timothy 008 was able to handle it and if not, Bond helped him later on.
Thanks for this post JBond007. But you forgot to mention the 00 agent who is with Bond in Austria (the movie The Living Daylights). What number is he? I couldn't remember.
Do you mean Saunders? He isn't a 00 agent, he's head of section V. He works for MI6, and acts as a contact for Bond when in Austria, like Kerim Bey in FRWL.
However, they do show two other Double-O Agents during the pre-titles sequence. The agents are: "John Winter 002"(played by actor "Glyn Baker", mentioned in the "Liquidate Bond" story in the James Bond comic strip), and "Aidan Flemmings 004"(played by actor "Frederick Warder", who is assassinated). Another Double-O Agent is mentioned in this one. "Nick Fallon 008"(the original 008) is mentioned by M, when he threatens to recall him from a mission that he is on in Hong Kong, China and reassign him to Bond's current mission. Nick Fallon 008(played by actor "Christopher Neame" is then shown in the next film "Licence to Kill" where they reveal what 008 was doing in Hong Kong in the first place. He was working with Hong Kong Narcotics Agent Specialists. He was given the assignment to intercept rogue agent: "James Bond", subdue him, and turn him over to MI6, not the S.I.S.
I see. Thanks for this info.
Thank you for these info.
@@andrewsterling0019 MI6 and S.I.S are the same thing....
The Q Manual for the 007 Role Playing Game has a lot of source materials for the likes and dislikes of the various 00 agents.
I always thought that James bond name was a given name when you reached 007 status
I always thought the same...ie the top agent was given the 007 title and the name James Bond. Thus different actors being James Bond. But who knows never read the novels.
006 is a badass. "For England James?".
Apparently the picture of the agent Pierce brosnan shows is meant to be ex MI5 David Shayler. And wasn't one of the agents we saw in the room a woman in Thunderball?
I'm sure 008 and 009 were in one of the movies, they were wearing these "Dick Tracy" detective coats at the time. I'm sure that was them, unless I'm misremembering. I don't remember which movie that was in though.
