So who on earth was M in bed with when she gets woken up by phone? Is she supposed to be married in the Benson novels? Did anybody else think the guy bore a striking resemblence to Geoffrey Palmer? Did my brain add what it would take to not feel like my grandma has a boyfriend?

Weird little detail, I'm interested to see if anybody else noticed this...

[Double-0-Seven]

It's probably her husband.

[DamnCoffee]

It could be Campbell it looks like him. well its certainly not geoffrey palmer.

[Righty007]

What's wrong with a grown woman sleeping with her husband? In GoldenEye, M talks about her children.

'M's Got a Bed Buddy!, anybody else weirded out?'

Against my will, I was, in fact, a bit uncomfortable. Must be the last tiny vestiges of puritanism coursing through my post-modern veins.

[DamnCoffee]

It wasn't uncomfortable for me, i'm just glad to see that shes got a life out side of the service.
Remember the DAF quote: "We do function in your absence commander"

There's a song lyric in there, I'm sure of it.

What a place for Michael G. Wilson to have done his cameo!

I'd actually forgot about her husband and kids.. that apartment gave off a kind of bachelorette vibe to me, and the dude looked really young from the 1/2 a second that you could see him. for a sec, I got this horrible mental image of M seducing a young agent or some such

Blech..

[DamnCoffee]

OMG!! M has a shag pad

[JCRendle]

M's got kids and a hubby - it has a more human aspect to the character than "Bond's Boss"

[Major Tallon]

Yes, and it made Bond's breakin all the riskier.

lol... either one of those would have been hilarious....

[ComplimentsOfSharky]

M's a real swinger

But don't tell anyone or she'll have you killed.

That's where the producers of Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me originally wanted to film the scene of Austin's house party and the introduction of Heather Graham's Felicity Shagwell. I guess M must have been hosting a tea party or something with the British governmental bureaucrats or something and that is why it was not available to Mike Myers and crew

[bond_girl_double07]

Still creeps me out.. I miss the stodgy old bachelor M, sigh..

I will say though that this M was my favorite since Dench took the helm.. I loved her "Christ I miss the cold war" speech

[TheREAL008]

What's even mroe interesting is that the man seemed to be younger than M herself.

M's children have all grown and moved away and into their adult lives. M has since sold her house and moved into a more manageable apartment - an apartment deemed secure by MI6.

Whether or not the gentleman in bed with her is her husband is up for grabs. What is not up for grabs is whether M has needs or not.

M has needs...

How, we only saw the back of an old fat mans head

I was thinking that too - would have been hilarious if the guy rolled over and it was MGW or Branson!

Although I did enjoy MGW's role. Got to see him do a little acting this time.

He isn't credited on imdb, but he seemed younger to me as well..

[DamnCoffee]

Well in 'The Sun', it said that Campbell was considering making M a Lesbian and another idea was a Toyboy

Why and WHY???? Eeek!

I'm going to go curl up into a ball and google "Bernard Lee"

[DamnCoffee]

Oh i forgot to mention none of the ideas were used

Clearly, but 22 is coming up, Harkers

Must we really become dramatic and change M's sexual orinetation? Since when was this ever up for debate. In the novels and in the previous movies with Judi Dench as M, we have always believed her to be nothing but straight.

I'm ok with married/grown kids.. let's continue to rock that...

[Blunt Instrument]

I always figured her for a Widow or Divorcee with grown kids... hence her ability to continue on with a job as secretive as that...

Don't ask......don't tell.
