Doctor Who Vs. James Bond, Part 2

The next two instalments in the James Bond film franchise were released in 1965 and 1967.

Thunderball and You Only Live Twice were based
on an Fleming's eighth and eleventh full length
novels, published in 1961 and 1964 - the latter
title was adapted by the prolific Welsh children's
author Roald Dahl (1916-1990).

Eon Productions intended to follow From Russia 
With Love (1963) with an adaptation of Casino 
Royale (the first Bond novel from 1953), but were
again thwarted by legal issues. The alternative
project, Thunderball became the most successful
feature in the run to date.

The Bond series was especially popular in Japan,

so Eon's next production was set and filmed in
that country, and You Only Live Twice proved to
be Sean Connery's last regular portrayal as the
titular spy.

Another Bond season continued on ITV4 last night and these two entries featured Anthony Ainley (as Policeman in You Only Live Twice), and 
a total of twenty-six other Doctor Who cast and crew connections:
