Bond gets an electric car and a wife who refuses to take his name
It has been billed as the most politically correct James Bond movie yet - but No Time To Die has not entirely done away with Benny Hill-style innuendo, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

James Bond gets an electric Aston Martin and a wife who refuses to take his second name in new Time To Die movie
Interesting misname of the movie. Time to Die indeed old friend.
Earlier this year, this newspaper revealed that Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge had been brought in as a scriptwriter to ensure the blockbuster was appropriate for the #MeToo era.
I expect no less in my unabashed male fantasy movies.
The script has Bond marrying Dr Madeleine Swann – the psychologist played by French actress Lea Seydoux who first appeared in 2015's Spectre. But she refuses to take her new husband's name.
The morning after their wedding, Bond wakes sleepy-eyed and says 'Good morning, Mrs Bond', to which she replies: 'Don't you mean Ms Swann?'
A source said: 'The phrase 'Bond girl' was outlawed from the set. The women in this film are all strong, brave and fiercely independent. These women are not helpless girls who jump into bed with Bond – their reactions are very different from what people might think.
'Bond tries his usual seduction techniques but they fail miserably. It's very funny.'
HAHAHA. Now this is starting to sound like a male fantasy movie again. Bond being rejected by women is a fresh new take I'm super excited.
Ms Lynch, 31, said of her double-O role: 'Everyone was really responsive to having her be what I wanted. You're given a fresh perspective on a brand-new black woman in the Bond world.'
She was determined her character should be a 'real' woman 'who has issues with her weight and maybe questions what's going on with her boyfriend'.
Fascinating stuff for this male fantasy film.
She even discussed something which has never made it into a Bond film before: 'We had one conversation about her maybe being on her period in one scene and… throwing her tampon [into the bin].'
