On October 5, 1962, the first James Bond movie, "Dr. No", opened in
theatres. To celebrate this fiftieth anniversary milestone, the As Seen On TV
showcase will feature the televersions of characters from the series of books by
Ian Fleming.
James Bond does exist in Earth Prime-Time, but he's only had a fleeting
appearance on our TV screens in comparison to the vast output of TV characters
over the last sixty plus years. Like his big screen counterpart in the
Cineverse, there have been many James Bonds, with no need to splain away the
Recastaways with alternate dimensions. "James Bond" is a code name used for the
best spy in Her Majesty's Secret Service. Many different men have assumed the
mantle of James Bond, giving up their original identities to keep the myth
alive.
Because of this, the general public in Toobworld thinks of James Bond as a
fictional character from books and movies. This is what a covert organization
(which I have dubbed "UNreel") organized. By creating pervasive fictional
accounts of this secret agent, "James Bond" is able to operate freely without
worrying that his exploits will be revealed as the Truth. (Although fictional
in Toobworld, James Bond's book and movie adventures have their own realities in
BookWorld and the Cineverse.) "UNreel" has done this before - for the
U.N.C.L.E. organization and a Gallifreyan Time Lord known as "the Doctor", among
others.
But unlike his counterparts in BookWorld and the Cineverse, James Bond has
not always been a British secret agent......
By the way, Ian Fleming also exists in Toobworld. So he joins the ranks of
Mark Twain, Shakespeare, Dickens, Jules Verne, and Dame Agatha Christie as an
author who shares the same world as the characters he created.....
BCnU!
