Starter for ten.

The death of actress Linda Christian has brought to mind a favourite pub-quiz question - who was the first actor to play James Bond?  And the answer is not, as you might imagine, Sean Connery, but Barry Nelson who predated Connery by some eight years when he played Bond (as "Jimmy Bond" for heaven's sake!) in an American TV adaptation of "Casino Royale".  And Linda Christian?  She played the love interest, and was therefore the first "Bond girl".
