Doctor Who Vs. James Bond, Part 23: Skyfall

The twenty-third instalment in the iconic

franchise, the third to star Daniel Craig

as the British spy, was released by Eon

Productions in late 2012 and marked the

 fiftieth anniversary of cinematic Bond.

Skyfall proved to be the most successful

entry in the entire run, in terms of box

office earnings and accolades - two Oscars

(including the theme song by Adele), two

Grammy Awards, and two BAFTAs. 
The film title was taken from the name of

the Bond family ancestral home at Glencoe

in the Scottish Highlands, and the setting

of the story's climax which saw the death

of M, portrayed by Judi Dench since

Goldeneye. This new assignment introduced Ralph Fiennes as Mallory, Ben Wishaw (the fourth actor to depict Q), and Naomie Harris (Eve Moneypenny).

Location filming was undertaken in many parts of London, Turkey, and

China, with interiors filmed at Pinewood studios' custom-built 007 Stage.
