If youve only seen the written text movies in the Difficulties era, you will possibly not learn about Q, so here's some background info: Q is not a title, but employment description (like Judi Dench's M). Since the mind of MI6's Q division, Q provides our hero with the products he requires to acquire his missions done. Require a hidden vehicle? Underwater jet pack? Explosives disguised as mouthwash? Then Q's your guy! Though Q was MIA from Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace hed been a fixture in Bond movies since the Sean Connery days. Desmond Llewelyn carried out Q in 17 in the movies, then John Cleese who handled the job two occasions (first as Qs assistant R) for Pierce Brosnans Bond.
