It’s official: Sean Connery is the greatest James Bond, having been named by RadioTimes.com readers as their favourite ever 007.

Over 14,000 fans voted in our tournament to decide who would be crowned the finest screen version of Ian Fleming’s super spy.

Round 1 saw Connery knock out current 007 actor Daniel Craig, coming out on top with 56 per cent of the vote compared to Craig’s 43 per cent, while Pierce Brosnan winning Round 2 with 76 per cent against his opponent George Lazenby’s 24 per cent.

Round 3 saw perhaps the most surprising result yet, as Roger Moore was knocked out of the competition – with 41 per cent of the vote, he lost out to his immediate successor Timothy Dalton, who scored 49 per cent of the vote.

Connery played Bond six times in the official film series – in Dr. No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967), and Diamonds Are Forever (1971) – and appeared as the character one final time in the rogue entry Never Say Never Again (1983), which was not produced by Eon Productions.

RadioTimes.com readers also recently voted on who they want to see strap on the Walther PPK next after Daniel Craig retires from Bond following the release of his final 007 outing No Time to Die.

Outlander actor Sam Heughan stormed to victory in that poll, earning almost 30 per cent of the vote, with the rest of the top five being made up of Tom Hardy (14 per cent), Henry Cavill (11 per cent), Idris Elba (10 per cent), and Tom Hiddleston (five per cent).

No Time to Die is currently scheduled for release in UK cinemas on 12th November 2020, having been pushed back from an intended April release due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

When else are your parents going to spend several thousand dollars a year just for you to go to a strange town and get drunk every night?” — David Wood Engineering remains the in demand degree across the employment spectrum and students have many colleges and universities from which to choose.

Explained: Can US President Donald Trump pardon himself?

With Donald Trump’s presidency entering its final weeks, the former businessman and television personality is expected to make full use of the outgoing presidential tradition of granting pardons. Some fear that the US President will wield his expansive power to pardon some of his closest aides, family members and maybe even himself. Trump — who faces a host of legal challenges, including multiple lawsuits and fraud allegations — will no longer have the extensive legal protections of the presidency once he formally exits the White House on January 20. Possibly pre-empting these legal issues, Trump has been asking aides whether he can self-pardon since 2017, according to a CNN report. In fact, an official told the news network that Trump was “obsessed with the power of pardons”. How does the presidential pardon work? All modern presidents of the United States have the constitutional right to pardon or commute the s...
