Watch: Premium Bond with Mark Gatiss and Matthew Sweet 2015 123movies, Full Movie Online – Mark Gatiss and Matthew Sweet slip on a tuxedo, sip a few cocktails and discuss the six actors who have held the licence to kill as the barman gingerly tiptoes around in the background.The duo go through the Bond actors in chronological order and we start with Sean Connery who set the benchmark as the rugged 007. Gatiss highlights how as a kid going to see the Bond films from the mid 1960s onward was a family outing but as the years went by it was just him and his dad that carried on this tradition.You always get to see how good a programme like this is when they get to George Lazenby. The consensus from the duo was a would be classic film let down by a lead actor who lacked the acting chops to take on such a big role. The sad thing is that Lazenby excels in the action scenes.They note how OHMSS bookends the 1960s, set at that time. Whereas when Connery returns for Diamonds are Forever in a new decade, the film is a little unsure of itself. Connery is older, slightly fuller and wearing a pink tie.Connery was the first Bond I saw when his films were shown on ITV. The first Bond I saw in the cinema was Roger Moore and I took to him very naturally when I saw him on the big screen.Moore’s first films were rather unsure about his characterization. The films themselves were tied to the fashionable genres of the time. Kung Fu and Blaxploitation, with Moore’s Bond having a nastier edge but comedy introduced via side characters such as Sheriff Pepper.Moore found his feet and got the right balance of action and comedy in The Spy who Loved Me and in subsequent films the comedy got broader and Moore got older.Dalton is regarded as the proto-Craig. A tougher Bond with a hint of romance underneath. Dalton gets a rough deal in some quarters these days but Gatiss and Sweet set the record straight as they enjoyed The Living Daylights which in my opinion ranks as one of the great Bond movies.Pierce Brosnan regarded as a future Bond actor as soon as he hit it big as Remington Steele is slightly cruelly labelled as Roger Connery. A Bond designed by committee but his films re-established the franchise as big box office especially in the USA.This leads to Daniel Craig, a rugged Bond who took over from Brosnan and took the Bond franchise to another level and the films went slightly more back to basics.Who is the Premium Bond, the duo were split between Dalton and Connery.The programme is in essence both men talking, rather intelligently with clips from the Bond films. Amiable and enjoyable..
Plot: In impeccable evening dress, Mark Gatiss and Matthew Sweet ponder the Bonds we’ve seen on screen since Dr. No in 1962. As the release of 24th official James Bond film, Spectre, approaches we ask – which 007 is the best? To date, six actors have portrayed British Secret Service agent James Bond. Was Sean Connery impossible to surpass? Was George Lazenby really that bad? Was Live and Let Die really a blaxploitation movie in disguise? Gatiss and Sweet consider these and many other questions, and raise a martini in honour of their premium Bond.

You can always tell when a new Bond movie is imminent as a smattering of Bond-related programmes hits the airwaves. In the run-up to 2015’s disappointing ‘SPECTRE’, celebrity fans Mark Gatiss and Matthew Sweet hosted this peculiar B.B.C.-4 programme in which they discussed the films in chronological order.Them being in tuxedos was bad enough, but there did not appear to be any real point to the programme. Most of their comments were blindingly obvious, the sort you could expect to hear coming from two guys down the pub any night of the week. Worse, their viewpoints changed with lightning speed. For instance, when Gatiss moved onto the subject of the Timothy Dalton Bonds, he disparaged Moore’s Bond by calling him a ‘geriatric comedian’. Yet he’d been praising him only a few minutes beforehand!
The worst Bond movie of all time – ‘Quantum Of Solace’ – provoked the following astonishing comment from Sweet: “Moore could have been in it!”. I say astonishing because if Moore had been it, at least it would then have had some humour, an element it desperately lacked.
The jumping-on of cinematic bandwagons was not confined to the Moore era. 1989’s ‘Licence To Kill’ duplicated the macho violence levels of ‘Rambo’ and ‘Die Hard’, while the entire Craig era has to date been a love letter to the inexplicably popular ‘Jason Bourne’ series. Perhaps ‘Premium Bond’ would have been better if the people responsible for the Bond films had been allowed to have their say. Gatiss and Sweet just weren’t good enough.
