The motion

That the Parliament notes that 5 October 2012 marks the 50th anniversary of the release of the first-ever James Bond film, Dr No, based on the novel by Ian Fleming; acknowledges what it considers to be the unrivalled success of the franchise over such a long period of time and its continued popularity that is demonstrated by the imminent release of the 25th film in the series, Skyfall; remembers that it is one of Scotland’s national icons, Sir Sean Connery, who first portrayed 007, going on to do so in seven films in total, to be
followed by David Niven, George Lazenby, Sir Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig, and wishes the Bond franchise every success for the future.
