From Thursday, 23 February until Sunday, 5 March, M-Net Movies will be screening every single Bond film ever made – from 1963\u2019s vintage Dr No to the latest explosive big-budget blockbuster Spectre (2015) – on an extra-special M-Net Movies pop-up channel.

The explosive 24 Bond films will be screened in chronological order with Sean Connery, the first actor to incarnate author Ian Fleming\u2019s suave creation, embarking on the first mission on Thursday, 23 February at 10:10.

Sean Connery is still regarded is one of the best actors to fill the role of James Bond, so it is fitting that he starred in the film that launched the most successful series set in the world of international espionage. Once James Bond stopped Dr No, there was no stopping James Bond!<\/p>\n

English secret agent James Bond is sent to Jamaica to probe the disappearance of one of his colleagues. His investigation leads to the sinister Dr No, who has his hands on a weapon that can send the entire US space programme into disarray.<\/p>\n

SPECTRE, an undercover conglomerate intent on ruling the world, wants to avenge the killing of Dr No, their in-house genius. James Bond must die. They devise a scheme by which he will be conned into stealing a priceless piece of military equipment, which will force authorities to \u201celiminate\u201d him.<\/p>\n

Director: Guy Hamilton<\/p>\n

Genres: Action<\/p>\n

Rating: PG13V<\/p>\n

The first two James Bond films were commercial successes, but Goldfinger is regarded as the first real blockbuster, with a box office take of $124-million on a $3-million budget \u2013 a profit-to-investment ratio no current hit film can ever hope to match.<\/p>\n

James Bond is assigned to stop a gold-dealing crime boss, whom he discovers has a devilish plan up his sleeve \u2013 to contaminate the Fort Knox gold reserve and bring the world economy to its knees.<\/p>\n

Year: 1965<\/p>\n

Cast: Sean Connery, Claudine Auger, Adolfo Celi<\/p>\n

Director: Terence Young<\/p>\n

Genre: Action<\/p>\n

Rating: PG13V<\/p>\n

The fourth James Bond film was released in 1965, a time when the entire world was held hostage by a crazy arms race between America and Russia, and this forms the basis of a spy thriller that, five decades later, still enthralls and delights.<\/p>\n

SPECTRE, a secret organisation whose aim is to bring the free world to its knees, steals two nuclear warheads so powerful that it can cut a swathe of destruction across America and Europe. James Bond believes he can outflank their evil plot.<\/p>\n

You Only Live Twice<\/strong> at 18:03<\/p>\n

Cast: Sean Connery, Mie Hama, Donald Pleasence<\/p>\n

Director: Lewis Gilbert<\/p>\n

Genre: Action<\/p>\n

Rating: PG13V<\/p>\n

Roald Dahl, a legendary writer of wonderfully creative novels and children\u2019s books, was assigned to write the screenplay and given the freedom to tinker with the plot and characters to his heart\u2019s delight. The result? A story regarded by many fans as the most entertaining of the entire series.<\/p>\n

Nuclear war is a real threat and a series of skyjackings can tip the balance that starts a conflict that will destroy cities and kill millions of people. James Bond and his Japanese counterpart join forces to prevent the disaster.<\/p>\n

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service<\/strong> at 20:00<\/p>\n

Year: 1969<\/p>\n

Cast: George Lazenby, Diana Rigg, Telly Savalas<\/p>\n

Director: Peter R Hunt<\/p>\n

Genre: Action<\/p>\n

Rating: PG<\/p>\n

The success of the sixth James Bond film seemed to be in the balance when Sean Connery retired from the role after You Only Live Twice, but the public soon warmed to his replacement, George Lazenby, an unknown actor and model, and the film made $82-million on a $7-million budget.<\/p>\n

James Bond travels to Switzerland and poses as an aristocrat in order to infiltrate the lair of a criminal mastermind. Then he falls in love, or pretends to. But romance turns out to be as dangerous as espionage \u2013 if not more so.<\/p>\n

Diamonds are Forever<\/strong> at 22:21<\/p>\n

Year: 1971<\/p>\n

Cast: Sean Connery, Jill St John, Charles Gray<\/p>\n

Director: Guy Hamilton<\/p>\n

Genre: Action<\/p>\n

Rating: PG13VN<\/p>\n

Producers of the James Bond film franchise convinced Sean Connery to return to the role that boosted his fame with a $1.25-million pay check \u2013 astronomical in 1971. It is the Bond film that introduced a somewhat lighter, humorous touch, and audiences loved it.<\/p>\n

Superspy James Bond infiltrates a diamond-smuggling ring to put an end to illicit trade of the coveted stones, and uncovers a sinister plot to set up a laser beam in space that can destroy Washington and take control of the USA \u2013 and then the world.<\/p>\n

Friday 24 February 2017<\/p>\n

Live and Let Die<\/strong> at 09:35<\/p>\n

Year: 1973<\/p>\n

Cast: Roger Moore, Yaphet Kotto, Jane Seymour<\/p>\n

Director: Guy Hamilton<\/p>\n

Genres: Action, Thriller<\/p>\n

Rating: PG13VL<\/p>\n

The first James Bond film to star Roger Moore instantly established him as a leading man the fans could identify with as the world\u2019s number one spy. He had a tough act \u2013 and brilliant actor \u2013 to follow: Sean Connery, who stepped out of Bond\u2019s shoes for the second time.<\/p>\n

The heroin trade is doing irreparable damage to the youth of Harlem, and now a diabolical criminal mastermind who goes by the name of Mr Big wants to cripple his rivals by handing out the deadly drug for free. Only James Bond has the credentials and skills to stop him.<\/p>\n

The Man With the Golden Gun<\/strong> at 11:37<\/p>\n

Year: 1974<\/p>\n

Cast: Roger Moore, Christopher Lee, Britt Ekland<\/p>\n

Director: Guy Hamilton<\/p>\n

Genres: Action, Adventure, Crime.<\/p>\n

Rating: PG13V<\/p>\n

James Bond is in the sights of an assassin in the eleventh film in the series, starring Roger Moore in the lead role. The story struck gold with Bond fans the world over.<\/p>\n

The sun itself is being harnessed as a weapon of mass destruction and James Bond is chosen to halt the heinous plans to burn selected targets to a crisp. This brings him into the firing line of a ruthless assassin: the Man with the Golden Gun.<\/p>\n

The Spy Who Loved Me<\/strong> at 13:42<\/p>\n

Year: 1977<\/p>\n

Cast: Roger Moore, Barbara Bach, Curd J\u00fcrgens<\/p>\n

Director: Lewis Gilbert<\/p>\n

Genre: Action<\/p>\n

Rating: PG13V<\/p>\n

Besides a thrill-a-minute storyline, astonishing underwater scenes filmed in the Bahamas are among the main attractions of one of the best-loved James Bond films. Another, of course, is the breathtakingly beautiful Barbara Bach.<\/p>\n

The world is in danger of being plummeted into chaos after the hijacking of submarines carrying nuclear warheads. The perpetrator wants to start a new civilization under the sea! James Bond enlists the help of a KGB agent who has more than one reason to send him to his grave.<\/p>\n

Moonraker<\/strong> at 15:47<\/p>\n

Year: 1979<\/p>\n

Cast: Roger Moore, Lois Chiles, Michael Lonsdale<\/p>\n

Director: Lewis Gilbert<\/p>\n

Genre: Action<\/p>\n

Rating :PG13V<\/p>\n

Science fiction was all the rage in Hollywood in 1979, and the producers of the James Bond film franchise cashed in with a story set in outer space. It became the most successful Bond film, and held on to that accolade for 16 years.<\/p>\n

A space shuttle is hijacked, and James Bond must find the perpetrators. He investigates the manufacturers, and stumbles upon an evil plot to use nerve gas to make the earth uninhabitable, and start a master race elsewhere in space.<\/p>\n

For Your Eyes Only<\/strong> at 17:53<\/p>\n

Year: 1981<\/p>\n

Cast: Roger Moore, Julian Glover, Carole Bouquet<\/p>\n

Director: John Glen<\/p>\n

Genres: Action, Adventure, Crime.<\/p>\n

Rating: 13VS<\/p>\n

Roger Moore\u2019s fifth portrayal of the fictional MI6 agent James Bond and the eleventh in the series, a tale of revenge and double dealing, was not based on a novel, but on two short stories \u2013 a form that is much easier to adapt for the screen. It was a major commercial success.<\/p>\n

In a quest to uncover a nuclear missile command system, James Bond becomes entangled in a web of deception and a dangerous rivalry with its leader. Then a beautiful woman enters the fray with revenge on her mind.<\/p>\n

Octopussy<\/strong> at 20:00<\/p>\n

Year: 1983<\/p>\n

Cast: Roger Moore, Maud Adams, Louis Jourdan<\/p>\n

Director: John Glen<\/p>\n

Genre: Action<\/p>\n

Rating: PG13VN<\/p>\n

Roger Moore makes his sixth appearance as James Bond, the top agent at M16. While the film takes its name from a collection of short stories by Bond creator Ian Fleming, the story is totally original. It was regarded as a big risk, but not to worry: as always, James Bond triumphed at the box office.<\/p>\n

Secret agency M16 has suffered a major blow: agent 009 is found dead, dressed as a circus clown. A fake Faberge egg found on the scene might hold the key to the crime, and James Bond manages to swap it with the original at auction. He then infiltrates the lair of a tycoon of the underworld.<\/p>\n

Never Say Never Again<\/strong> 22:10<\/p>\n

Year: 1983<\/p>\n

Cast: Sean Connery, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Kim Basinger<\/p>\n

Director: Irvin Kershner<\/p>\n

Genre: Action<\/p>\n

Rating: 13S<\/p>\n

Sean Connery, perhaps the most beloved James Bond actor of them all, makes a surprise return to the role after a twelve-year absence in what can be best described as a remake of Thunderball. The title is derived from Connery\u2019s earlier declaration that he would never play Bond again!<\/p>\n

SPECTRE is at it again. In a devious tactical manoeuvre, they obtain two devastating nuclear warheads, which they plan to use at the first opportunity to move a step closer to world domination. James Bond must stop them before they can detonate the deadly devices.<\/p>\n

A View to a Kill<\/strong> at 00:23<\/p>\n

Year: 1985<\/p>\n

Cast: Roger Moore, Tanya Roberts, Grace Jones<\/p>\n

Director: John Glen<\/p>\n

Genre: Action<\/p>\n

Rating: 13V<\/p>\n

Grace Jones was one of the most fascinating entertainers of the eighties, who achieved world fame with a string of pop music hits and a rare brand of beauty. She stars opposite Roger Moore in a tale filled with non-stop mystery and intrigue \u2013 as audiences demand from a James Bond film.<\/p>\n

A con to manipulate horse racing results turns out to be nothing more than a ruse to distract attention from a far more dangerous scheme: one to destroy California\u2019s Silicon Valley in order to gain total control of the computer trade. But James Bond is on the scene with a solution at hand.<\/p>\n

Saturday 25 February 2017<\/p>\n

Casino Royale<\/strong> (PETER SELLERS SPOOF_TV Movie) at 10:35<\/p>\n

Year:1967<\/p>\n

Cast : Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, David Niven<\/p>\n

Directors: Ken Hughes, John Huston, Joseph McGrath, Robert Parrish, Val Guest, Richard Talmadge<\/p>\n

Genre: Comedy<\/p>\n

Rating: PG13VN<\/p>\n

A Bond classic that isn\u2019t regarded as part of the superspy film franchise, as it was created by a rival company that acquired the film rights years earlier. It competed outright with You Only Live Twice, and has a satirical tone that sets it apart from other Bond films. Astonishingly, it featured six directors.<\/p>\n

An international crime ring with an eye on world domination realises James Bond stands squarely in their way and set out to eliminate him. To confuse them, six Bond alter egos appear on the scene. But only one James Bond can solve the case.<\/p>\n

The Living Daylights<\/strong> 11:30<\/p>\n

Year: 1987<\/p>\n

Cast: Timothy Dalton, Maryam d’Abo, Joe Don Baker<\/p>\n

Director: John Glen<\/p>\n

Genre: Action<\/p>\n

Rating: 13VN<\/p>\n

Timothy Dalton makes his first appearance as James Bond in the 15th instalment of the hugely popular film franchise, which is based on a short story by Ian Fleming, who dreamed up the spy with a licence to kill during his time as an employee of the British espionage agency.<\/p>\n

As so often in his career, James Bond\u2019s mission is not to perpetrate violence, but to stop it. In this instance the belligerents will stop at nothing less than a conflict that will put the entire planet at risk.<\/p>\n

Licence to Kill<\/strong> at 13:40<\/p>\n

Year: 1989<\/p>\n

Cast: Timothy Dalton, Robert Davi, Carey Lowell<\/p>\n

Director: John Glen<\/p>\n

Genre: Action<\/p>\n

Rating: PG13VL<\/p>\n

The first Bond film not to use a title created by author Ian Fleming. Instead, it underlines a fact that Bond\u2019s adversaries will do well to take note of: Bond can stop enemies of the state any way he pleases.<\/p>\n

Bond is suspended by his superiors at M16, and decides to go it alone. Without any support, he pursues a drug lord who tortured and killed his friend. This time, of course, he is at the mercy of the law: he operates without his licence to kill.<\/p>\n

GoldenEye<\/strong> at 15:52<\/p>\n

Year: 1995<\/p>\n

Cast: Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean, Izabella Scorupco<\/p>\n

Director: Martin Campbell<\/p>\n

Genres: Action, Drama.<\/p>\n

Rating: 13VSL<\/p>\n

Pierce Brosnan\u2019s first portrayal of James Bond in the famous spy film series is one of three with the word \u201cgold\u201d in the title, the others being Goldfinger and The Man with the Golden Gun. Oscar winner Judi Dench makes her first appearance as Bond\u2019s mysterious boss, simply known as M.<\/p>\n

A former M16 agent, who was thought to be dead, uses his inside information to counter James Bond\u2019s every move in a battle to gain control of a devastating space weapon, code named GoldenEye. Bond has to enlist help from unexpected quarters.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow Never Dies<\/strong> at 18:01<\/p>\n

Year: 1997<\/p>\n

Cast: Pierce Brosnan, Jonathan Pryce, Michelle Yeoh<\/p>\n

Director: Roger Spottiswoode<\/p>\n

Genre: Action<\/p>\n

Rating: 13VSL<\/p>\n

James Bond fans around the world warmed to Pierce Brosnan after his first screen appearance as the master spy, and he was fully accepted next time round in a film that outperformed GoldenEye at the box office.<\/p>\n

China has replaced Russia as the biggest threat to the West, and the leader of an evil criminal ring sets out to stir the world\u2019s new economic and military superpower into armed conflict with the UK. Bond is called into action to intervene and stop a war that will leave the world in ruins.<\/p>\n

The World Is Not Enough<\/strong> at 20:00<\/p>\n

Year: 1999<\/p>\n

Cast: Pierce Brosnan, Sophie Marceau, Robert Carlyle<\/p>\n

Director: Michael Apted<\/p>\n

Genre: Action<\/p>\n

Rating: 13VS<\/p>\n

Irish actor Pierce Brosnan makes his third appearance as James Bond in the 19th film in the franchise. He rose to fame in the television series Remington Steele, which most observers regarded as a thinly veiled facsimile of… well, James Bond.<\/p>\n

A British billionaire is assassinated by a rogue who goes by the name of Renard. Bond investigates and uncovers a plot to send the world\u2019s oil prices through the roof with a nuclear meltdown in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Die Another Day<\/strong> at 22:08<\/p>\n

Year: 2002<\/p>\n

Cast: Pierce Brosnan, Halle Berry, Toby Stephens<\/p>\n

Director: Lee Tamahori<\/p>\n

Genre: Action<\/p>\n

Rating:13VS<\/p>\n

Halle Berry may be the sexiest Bond girl of them all, and Pierce Brosnan is the lucky spy with whom she shares the screen in the 20th film in the James Bond series. It was Brosnan\u2019s fourth and last appearance as Agent 007.<\/p>\n

North Korea is trading African blood diamonds for military hardware, and James Bond is clearly the best man to defuse the atrocity. Then he discovers that an international space weapon is being developed, and he has to move fast to prevent an attack.<\/p>\n

Sunday 26 February 2017<\/p>\n

Everything Or Nothing: The Untold Story Of 007<\/strong> at 08:20<\/p>\n

Year: 2012<\/p>\n

Cast: Ken Adam, Maud Adams, John Barry<\/p>\n

Director: Stevan Riley<\/p>\n

Genres: Documentary<\/p>\n

Rating: PG13VNL<\/p>\n

A fascinating documentary account of the creation and history of the most influential film franchise in the history of action thrillers \u2013 if not the history of cinema.<\/p>\n

Ian Fleming started writing his famous James Bond novels to stave off the boredom of his desk job in the British government\u2019s secret agency. They were an instant sensation, and soon found their way on to the silver screen. Their history is as compelling as any Bond adventure.<\/p>\n

Bond Girls are Forever<\/strong> at 10:00<\/p>\n

Year: 2012<\/p>\n

Cast: Maryam d’Abo, Halle Berry, Ursula Andress<\/p>\n

Director: John Watkin<\/p>\n

Genre: Documentary<\/p>\n

Rating: 13SL<\/p>\n

There are no hard numbers available, but quite possibly the Bond girls are as much of an attraction for film audiences as that man James himself. An entertaining documentary tribute to the bevy of beauties who routinely did what no enemy could manage: Set his heart pounding.<\/p>\n

Several gorgeous Bond girls reveal what it\u2019s like to be by the side of the film world\u2019s No 1 spy. Many of them shot to fame, others, such as Halle Berry, were already world famous and did as much for the franchise as it did for their careers.<\/p>\n

Now Pay Attention 007!<\/strong> At 10:50<\/p>\n

Year: 2000<\/p>\n

Cast: Michael Apted, Pierce Brosnan, Martin Campbell<\/p>\n

Director: Richard Mervyn<\/p>\n

Genre: Documentary<\/p>\n

Rating: PG<\/p>\n

A documentary that pays tribute to Desmond Llewelyn, the actor who portrayed the witty and inventive Q. While Bond actors came and went, Llewelyn was an unmovable rock.<\/p>\n

Q is a job title rather than a secret code name in the James Bond film series. He is head of Q Division, the scientific and development branch of M16, and the man who thought up all the gadgets featured in the series. Desmond Llewelyn became Q in 1963 and played the part until 1999!<\/p>\n

Best Ever Bond<\/strong> at 11:45<\/p>\n

Year: 2002<\/p>\n

Cast : Roger Moore, Ken Adam, Michael Apted<\/p>\n

Director: John Piper, Debbie Geller<\/p>\n

Genre: Documentary, Action.<\/p>\n

Rating: 13SL<\/p>\n

There is one thing fans of the James Bond film franchise will never agree on: The best actor who ever represented James Bond on screen. One of the favourites is Roger Moore, who focuses on another debate altogether: The \u201c10 best James Bond sequences\u201d.<\/p>\n

As the longest-serving James Bond actor \u2013 seven films in 12 years \u2013 Roger Moore is clearly an expert on all matters concerning the spy of all spies. But will he be totally objective in his choices of the best sequences in Bond film up until 2002, when the documentary was made?<\/p>\n

Casino Royale<\/strong> at 13:23<\/p>\n

Year:2006<\/p>\n

Cast: Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Mads Mikkelsen<\/p>\n

Director: Martin Campbell<\/p>\n

Genres: Action, Thriller.<\/p>\n

Rating: 13V<\/p>\n

The James Bond film series has never followed the sequence of the novels by Ian Fleming, and the 21st film is based on the first book, in which Bond is issued a licence to kill. The book also introduced the fact that 007 has a hard time keeping his eyes off a pretty girl. Same goes for the film!<\/p>\n

Having proven that he is worthy of a licence to kill, James Bond is sent on his most difficult assignment: He must neutralize an arms dealer… and the destiny of his investigation rests on a high-stakes poker game.<\/p>\n

Quantum of Solace<\/strong> at 15:52<\/p>\n

Year: 2008<\/p>\n

Cast: Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko, Mathieu Amalric<\/p>\n

Director: Marc Forster<\/p>\n

Genre: Action<\/p>\n

Rating: 16VL<\/p>\n

Actor Craig Daniels was told to lose weight and add muscle for his second portrayal of James Bond, after picking up injuries in his first Bond film. He arrived on set tough and toned \u2013 as one would expect of a master spy.<\/p>\n

Bolivia is on the brink of civil war over the country\u2019s scarce water supply, and a mysterious organisation is plotting to accelerate the conflict. James Bond intervenes, but in the back of his mind he has another mission: revenge for the death of his lover.<\/p>\n

Skyfall<\/strong> at 17:38<\/p>\n

Year: 2012<\/p>\n

Cast: Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes<\/p>\n

Director: Sam Mendes<\/p>\n

Genres: Action, Adventure, Crime.<\/p>\n

Rating: 13V<\/p>\n

If Daniel Craig was born to play the hero in movies, Javier Bardem was born to play the villain, and they come face-to-face in the 23rd James Bond film produced by Eon films, and the first Bond film to earn more than $1-billion at the box office.<\/p>\n

British secret agency M16 comes under attack and James Bond\u2019s loyalties to fellow spies is soon tested. But his priority has never been to maintain close ties with colleagues. He has a job to do, and he will do it even at a massive cost to himself.<\/p>\n

Spectre<\/strong> at 20:00<\/p>\n

Year: 2015<\/p>\n

Cast: Daniel Craig, Christoph Waltz, L\u00e9a Seydoux<\/p>\n

Director: Sam Mendes<\/p>\n

Genres: Action, Thriller.<\/p>\n

Rating: 13VL<\/p>\n

The most expensive Bond film \u2013 and one of the most expensive movies of all time at $250-million \u2013 features Daniel Craig in his fourth appearance as the world\u2019s favourite fictional spy. The theme song \u2013 Writing\u2019s on the Wall \u2013 was rewarded with an Oscar.<\/p>\n

A shocking fact is revealed to James Bond: his life-long enemy, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the leader of the powerful criminal organisation known as Spectre, is his half-brother. But this has no bearing on Bond\u2019s determination to dismantle Spectre and put Blofeld away for good.<\/p>\n
