Well yes and no, its been established that 007 is in fact part of a government 00 program. He's been portrayed by a number of very different actors, who've assumed the mantle of James Bond, 007 - and each one has been a distinct personality, and with a different appearance.

Given the Secret Services history of being incredibly progressive * in terms of gender and sexuality, it wouldn't be a stretch to see the mantle of 007 assumed by a woman, someone who is gay, transgendered etc.

* From an intelligence agencies point of view having agents who are women and of different sexual orientation and gender has proven very useful for infiltration and avoiding suspicion, as well as for blackmailing and turning enemy assets.

SOE found that female agents aroused a lot less suspicion than their male counterparts.

Yes, so presumably she'd be called Jane Bond or Jamie Bond or something similar. Certainly, that scene in Casino Royale where he's tied to the chair naked getting his bollocks beaten would have been more 'interesting'.

Arguably James Bond would never, in reality, pass the kind of psychological testing required to obtain that level of clearance. He's a borderline narcissist with anti-social personality disorder - Who exhibits a lack of affect on a clinical level, and homicidal tendencies.

So arguably we've already had a disabled Bond.

Not enough disability to tick the D&I box for me. How about this: a female bond (let's say Jamie as it is a very feminine name) Jamie Bond, she's disabled and gay. Her disabilities are that she is top heavy and a rampant lesbian nymphomaniac.

I've literally forgotten where I was going with this.

"Whitewashing" in the entertainment industry has a long and shameful history. Think back to who played the Arabs in "Lawrence of Arabia"; it was Omar Sharif...yes...and Alec Guinness and Anthony Quinn - with Jose Ferrer as a Turk). This year, the lead Asian character from the book of "Ghost in the Shell" was played by Scarlett Johansson, which follows last year's nonsense with Emma Stone playing a half-Asian Hawaiian.

Hollywood has been replacing characters - written as people of colour (irony alert) - with white actors since day one. Seeing as Hollywood has already established that the colour of a written character's skin is irrelevant to the movie portrayal of that character, it makes the whole debate about Bond moot.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

The bottom line is that they want to make money.
