Timothy Dalton - A Retrospective... part 4 - Legacy

So only two films for Tim, but certainly from a Reel double 0 0 7 point of view, they're probably both in the top two.

Um [laughs], no, I don't know, but they're very, very high up certainly.

And the legacy as far as we're concerned is a, is a brilliant one, but maybe a complicated one because it isn't as simple as Sean's legacy where he helped create the character and then everybody else followed that on in their own interpretations, and that was genius.

That can never be better, as we always say.

Roger continued and made the films popular to new audiences for many, many years.

And then it's, it's this odd period in between because of course Pierce you could say almost did a Roger, didn't he? Introduced Bond for a new generation and kept, kept it popular.

And then we've had Daniel Craig who's sort of done the same.

I think he's probably appealed more to older people who are revisiting rather than young fans personally.

Because you don't see many kids these days who-

Well-

I suppose they would be older now anyway, wouldn't they? But-

My, my daughters are really fans of the Craig movies.

Right.

Well-

Mm.

Yes

... look, Carrie, do-

So, so hopefully

... do you think that's in any way because of what Dalton did before? Like would, would they maybe-

They haven't seen any Dalton ones.

They're just 13, my, my, um, my-

Right

... my twins.

So they, I, I actually, they wanted to see No Time to Die in cinema.

So I, I made them sit through all of the other ones in order because I, I told them, "You can't go and see No Time to Die-"
