@@Crockett11876 he was filming another film at the time of filming Live and Let Die, but was able to find time to film his scene, but Broccoli told him to not come and film a scene, and he was disappointed, because he really wanted to be in the film.
Not unlike the original Moneypenny, Louis Maxwell. Her total screen time as Moneypenny in 14 films was less than two hours, and she spoke fewer than 200 words.
Desmond was perfect in this role. In spite of his limited screen time, he became a legend. I get the impression he really loved the role. He is certainly missed.
He did say he had no intention of leaving the role despite the retirement banter in his last appearance, and that he would always come back to the role as long as "the producers want me and the almighty doesn't."
Yes, a classic Q line. Others include, "Don't touch that - that's my lunch!", "Made one of these for the kids last Christmas.", and my all-time favorite, "I never joke about my work, 007."
Last year marked twenty years since Desmond died on that horrible day, but let us think about the many laughs and incredible moments from our favorite Quartermaster, Mayor Boothroyd.
According to John Cleese, Wilson and Broccolli were planning on bringing back Llewelyn for at least four more films and Llewelyn himself stated he would happily continue playing Q "as long as the producers want [him] and the Almighty doesn't." His very sad and unfortunate death in a car accident prevented this. But personally, the final scene he has in The World is not Enough is THE perfect, most subtly beautiful send-off for the actor who was in this series for thirty years.

RIP Sir Llewelyn, forever the definitive Q
I've been on a spree rewatching Bond from Connery to Brosnan and the one constant that has me smiling is Llewelyn's portrayal of Q. He is most sorely missed.
Q: now pay attention 007 There's only two things I've always tried to teach you .. 1st .. Never let them see you bleed. Bond: and the 2nd ? Q: always have an escape plan . (Gawd I miss him )
Fun fact, Desmond Llewelyn was an officer for the Royal Welch Fusiliers, he was taken as a prisoner of war and was kept as a prisoner of war until the camp was destroyed, they had attempted to tunnel out once before
Yeah, it dawns on me that he was funny in kind of the same way that Maggie Smith is. There's something about an older, stiff-necked British person (and I say that respectfully) that is just somehow ripe for comedy, especially if they've got wonderful vinegar-laced dialogue to deliver.
I’m never certain whether Roger Moore interfering with the camera in Octopussy was written into the script, or if it was Roger trying to mess with Desmond. Roger admitted he often did things that messed with him, such as changing a cue-card held by a stage hand from a complicated word to ‘Bollocks’
I remember Desmond saying Sean Connery used to play with the gadgets to wind him up at that point they were going for a 'Frustrated Teacher and Naughty school boy' dynamic between Q and Bond
Q: Need I remind you 007 that you have a licence to kill, not to break the traffic laws? Bond: I wouldn't think of it. Q: Good! Also Bond: Destroys half of St. Petersburg's Streets, cars and Monuments with a Tank.
Desmond Llewellyn is my favourite actor to play q I am currently on James bond film marathon I Always look up at the screen when Desmond Llewellyn is on the screen
I wholeheartedly agree To me Desmond Llewellyn is to James bond is what Bernard cribbins is to doctor who two absolute gems of human beings who steal the show consistently and are both sorely missed
Even in his first appearance in From Russia With Love where the role is purely functionary and devoid of character… there’s just something magical about Desmond in the role.
@@michaelgreenwood3413 Yeah… I think I know what it is now… as grumpy as he can be towards Bond he always sounds like he’s holding back a TON of childlike excitement and pride for what he’s crafted, even in From Russia With Love.
From the You Only Live Twice segment...the fact that Bond doesn't even consider Tiger's offer to use his helicopter instead of Little Nellie says a lot; Bond may relish giving Q a hard time, but he's got faith in the man's work.
My favorite Q moments is during the Moore, Dalton and Brosnan era, mostly because that's where he's at his funniest and it seems like Desmond Llewelyn loves to joke around.
There's a few extra scenes in Licence To Kill (1989) that you missed... e.g. Q as a chauffeur, Q helping Bouvier & Bond in framing Krest, Q reporting Sanchez's position with his garden sweeper...
The only reason the real Q retired from service was because the gadgets suddenly were a chip in a bloody I Phone... No wonder he felt for sodding off in the end... Rest in peace legend..
Name 2 things that made the 007 franchise amazing? Everyone else : the cars and the girls. Regular fans: the action and the gadgets . Me: the og Q and a good Bond . TwT
Since Desmond LleweLyn R.I.P. no longer in James bond, that's when James bond went downhill. I loved Character Q in it. Sometimes people forget he played big of success of James bond franchise. They actor Desmond LleweLyn R.I.P. he will be missed.
He will be dearly miss 😥😥! Desmond Llewelyn love playing Q in 007 and shows 007 Sean Connery the gadget features in the Astro Martin D5 car in the movie Goldfinger 😍😍👍👍!! The inject seat in the car is the best ! He was great in all the Bond films !! My favorite lines from Q was "I never joke about my work, 007"!
Q is so much a part of my child hood. The way most people look at Batman and Alfred, I look at bond and Q. I can’t wait until a VR bond game where you get to play Connery, my life will be complete when I hear Q say, “and try not to break anything 007”.
Time goes on, and the torch has to be passed. The new guy, or kid, playing Q now is an original twist. I like to think of him as old Q's genius grandson.
3:51 - my favorite "it's waterproof of course," "but of course" Q looks at him like Bond's comments and shenanigans happen every day on the microscale hahaha
From his wiki: His last appearance as Q prior to his death was in The World Is Not Enough in 1999. During his briefing of 007 in the film, Q introduces John Cleese's character, R, as his heir presumptive, and the film alludes to Q's retirement, to which Bond, after seeing Q, expresses his hope that it will not be any time soon. Q's response is to admonish Bond to "always have an escape plan", after which he lowers himself through the floor of his lab. Llewelyn had stated not long before his death that he had no plans to retire and that he would continue playing Q "as long as the producers want me and the Almighty (God) doesn't." I guess God decided that He wanted him. I think I've seen Brosnan make some comment about that scene - Llewelyn had died just 3 weeks after the film released.
Haha @ 12:48 I like the "easter egg" (for lack of a better term) that the filmmakers for For Your Eyes Only added there... not the first time they've done that in the Bond films.
Not gonna lie In the first three Brosnan Movies it felt like Bond and Q were like a Father (Q) and a Son (Bond) I love that detailed in the Brosnan Movies
he was so greatfully pictured in animation movie Despicable Me and portrayed through Dr Nefario.... whole time watching that cartoon was thinking of him as of Dr Q. : ) Rest in peace Doc....
My idea for a new 007 francise of movies is as follows: 007 has gotten the ability from q to travel forth and back in time with a timetravel machine.There he starts to stop the begining of Spectre.But Spectre has duplicated q's timetravel machine, so they goes further back in time,and changes lots of historical happenings,so that the present is quite different when 007 comes back to present time.007 must therefore stop Spectre before they manages to duplicate q's timemachine.
"Something we're making for the Americans. It's called 'The Ghetto Blaster'." Yeah, that sounds like something my country would pay the top secret scientists of another nation for.
I love the gadgets. Its like..."Pay attention Bond. Simply remove the top of this pen, jab it into somebody's eye, and smash it in with your hand like that." (Though on second thoughts, I suppose that's not really a gadget. Just monstrous use of a biro).
The relationship between Q and 007 is like a father contending to a rebellious and very curious son with college boy flirty tendencies and teenage wit. And Desmond, your son hasn't learned his lesson for returning the equipment in pristine order and keeping away from the ladies.

why wasn't he in "Doctor No"?
He’s only on screen for 30 minutes over 36 years, but Q became as much an icon as Bond himself!
Not unlike the original Moneypenny, Louis Maxwell.
Her total screen time as Moneypenny in 14 films was less than two hours, and she spoke fewer than 200 words.
To say Q is as iconic as Bond himself is pretty ridiculous, to be honest.

@@aleksandarvil5718 that's fucked up man don't joke about that stuff
The irony of his role was that Desmond Llewellyn in real life was actually quite awkward with technology.
From the moment Q says, “Now pay attention 007” you’re in for classic moment
Yes, a classic Q line. Others include, "Don't touch that - that's my lunch!", "Made one of these for the kids last Christmas.", and my all-time favorite, "I never joke about my work, 007."
The only time "Q" addresses 007 as "James" is in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. What a touching moment. It's kind of like Father - Son talk.
I reckon after Tracey's death, Bond was crying on Q's shoulder since Q clearly cares so much about him, but won't say it to his face
Maximum Bond Fanatic detected!
*Respect*
And also license to kill. He called James Bond " Bond ".
"Need I remind you, 007, that you have a license to kill, not to break the traffic laws." Best Q line ever.
"I wouldn't think of it."
"My god, what is bond doing?" "I think he is attempting reentry sir." -Q's best line, had me in
stitches. :D
Moonraker had the best soundtrack of all Bond movies.
Desmond Llewellyn was phenomenal as Q and no one quite said "007" like he did.
Last year marked twenty years since Desmond died on that horrible day, but let us think about the many laughs and incredible moments from our favorite Quartermaster, Mayor Boothroyd.

Well said 👏🏻👏🏻
I've been on a spree rewatching Bond from Connery to Brosnan and the one constant that has me smiling is Llewelyn's portrayal of Q. He is most sorely missed.
He did car accident to put himself out of misery.
Better than on death bed and wasting so much money on pills.
“I have always tried to teach you two things...”. 😢😢😢
1. Never let them see you bleed
2. Always have an escape plan
Same feelings...
Sadly (NTTD spoiler alert)...... in NTTD, Bond failed to follow both advice....
He wasn't talking to Bond when he said that. He was talking to the audience
@@andrewchung2940 Well to be fair, we " lost" a cheap ripoff of Bourne, not James Bond.
So no problem at all.
The very last scene is kind of heartbreaking. 😪
Yes, John Cleese in a Bond film.
We all missed him very much.
Q: now pay attention 007 There's only two things I've always tried to teach you ..
1st .. Never let them see you bleed.
Bond: and the 2nd ?
Q: always have an escape plan .
(Gawd I miss him )
I saw this in theaters and it broke my heart as a kid. I couldn't believe Q left.
Yes but poetry❤
"Something we're making for the Americans...it's called a 'Ghetto blaster'" LMAO!!!
Drops the sick beats, and Tanks!
Fun fact,
Desmond Llewelyn was an officer for the
Royal Welch Fusiliers, he was taken as a prisoner of war and was kept as a prisoner of war until the camp was destroyed, they had attempted to tunnel out once before
If I remember right, he wears their regimental tie in a couple of Bond films, implying that Q was a member as well.
He was a naturally funny man. He got funnier as he got older. M.
I’m in no mood for your juvenile quips! Lmfao
Yeah, it dawns on me that he was funny in kind of the same way that Maggie Smith is. There's something about an older, stiff-necked British person (and I say that respectfully) that is just somehow ripe for comedy, especially if they've got wonderful vinegar-laced dialogue to deliver.
Yes that’s true. It’s rare for entertainers to accomplish that,
RIP Desmond Llewelyn (September 12, 1914 - December 19, 1999), aged 85
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Desmond has and always will be the best Q in the Bond franchise. I will miss him.
Q - Definitely the best Bond character.
"I never joke about my work 007!"
I’m never certain whether Roger Moore interfering with the camera in Octopussy was written into the script, or if it was Roger trying to mess with Desmond. Roger admitted he often did things that messed with him, such as changing a cue-card held by a stage hand from a complicated word to ‘Bollocks’

lolol.
I remember Desmond saying Sean Connery used to play with the gadgets to wind him up at that point they were going for a 'Frustrated Teacher and Naughty school boy' dynamic between Q and Bond
Time stamp?
Q: Need I remind you 007 that you have a licence to kill, not to break the traffic laws?
Bond: I wouldn't think of it.
Q: Good!
Also Bond: Destroys half of St. Petersburg's Streets, cars and Monuments with a Tank.
Tanks are excluded from traffic laws
Just part of working out in the field
Desmond Llewellyn is my favourite actor to play q I am currently on James bond film marathon I Always look up at the screen when Desmond Llewellyn is on the screen
I wholeheartedly agree
To me Desmond Llewellyn is to James bond is what Bernard cribbins is to doctor who two absolute gems of human beings who steal the show consistently and are both sorely missed
Even in his first appearance in From Russia With Love where the role is purely functionary and devoid of character… there’s just something magical about Desmond in the role.
The guy makes explaining stuff awesome.

My favorite Q moments is during the Moore, Dalton and Brosnan era, mostly because that's where he's at his funniest and it seems like Desmond Llewelyn loves to joke around.
There's a few extra scenes in Licence To Kill (1989) that you missed... e.g. Q as a chauffeur, Q helping Bouvier & Bond in framing Krest, Q reporting Sanchez's position with his garden sweeper...
Yes I was also looking out for those.
Plus, he was at post-victory party celebration in the end of movie.
I think there are to more scenes missing from octopussy 1 He is disguised as a priest 2 vijay Reliefs q in guarding the palace
There was also a q branch scene in moonraker he missed where he tells bond and q about the results of the vial bond sent him earlier.
The scenes with Pierce seem the most fun. Pierce looks genuinely honored to banter with Q.
26:05 DON'T TOUCH THAT! It's my lunch.
Classic!
I was honestly expecting that sandwich to shoot out a poison dart or something.
The scene I like most Is where he says “I think is is attempting re-entry” is hilarious
Rest in peace, Desmond Llewelyn. We will always pay attention.
Brosnan had the best chemistry with him. they worked off each other so perfectly.
The only reason the real Q retired from service was because the gadgets suddenly were a chip in a bloody I Phone... No wonder he felt for sodding off in the end... Rest in peace legend..
Just imagine what that Q could’ve done with this eras tech.
technically this was the second Q..
Q was just as a good as Bond, every movie I was always excited to see what new gadgets he had for Bond.
I was very sad with his last appearance...it was the end...a farewell of so many years in several films of the franchise
the only time Bond feels dumb is when hes talking to Q lol
Except Timothy Dalton
Breaks my heart that final clip.
I always loved this guy's, iconic scenes
Just the look on Bond's face after Q tells him about the ejector seat during Goldfinger... you know Bond wants to have some fun with that.
Add in the smug look when Bond does use it later on in the film
Desmond Lewelyn was 49 years old in from Russia with love 😊
I love how he only calls him 007: Strictly business.
Except at his wedding which is pretty fitting and understandable.
His role in Licence to Kill was awesome, he did an amazing job.
Its 2021 and I am still a Bond freak,thanks to Q(Desmond)now pay attention.
Same Here !!!
People asked how the rebreathers in Thunderball worked and the producers said “As long as the actor can hold their breath.”
16:56 Didn't think Q was so cheeky.... ;)
If I were an agent, i could of always relied on Q for my weapons and equipment. Miss him dearly
That reentry line cracks me up
There has not been, is not, and will never be another like the original Q. Desmond Llewelyn...may he rest in power. There is no other.
I feel like you can know how good a Bond film is in how good it’s Q scene is. (Excluding Casino Royale ofc)
Name 2 things that made the 007 franchise amazing?
Everyone else : the cars and the girls.
Regular fans: the action and the gadgets .
Me: the og Q and a good Bond . TwT
Its all 6, francly
Since Desmond LleweLyn R.I.P. no longer in James bond, that's when James bond went downhill. I loved Character Q in it. Sometimes people forget he played big of success of James bond franchise. They actor Desmond LleweLyn R.I.P. he will be missed.
Q is the only man who can talk smack to 007 and live.
M would like a word with you.
He was also present at the Ascot scene in A view to a kill, only a minor detail
He had starred in Bond movies a lot more times than any Bonds .
He will be dearly miss 😥😥! Desmond Llewelyn love playing Q in 007 and shows 007 Sean Connery the gadget features in the Astro Martin D5 car in the movie Goldfinger 😍😍👍👍!! The inject seat in the car is the best ! He was great in all the Bond films !! My favorite lines from Q was "I never joke about my work, 007"!
Now that is a final scene. Awesome.
I think there's always going to be a feeling of something missing in future James Bond films without Desmond Llewelyn around.
I like Desmond Llewellyn as Q
"What are you doing? Oh cut it out! We haven't time for that! Later perhaps."
Bond: Q, have I ever let you down?
Q: Frequently.
As Bond squeals off in the new Lotus Esprit! lol
Q is so much a part of my child hood. The way most people look at Batman and Alfred, I look at bond and Q. I can’t wait until a VR bond game where you get to play Connery, my life will be complete when I hear Q say, “and try not to break anything 007”.
He is the embodiment of Q
I began this thinking I wouldn't/couldnt watch the entire 31.5 minutes. I was wrong
My favorite bond character, even more than Bond himself.
Time goes on, and the torch has to be passed.
The new guy, or kid, playing Q now is an original twist. I like to think of him as old Q's genius grandson.
the last scene is so touching
3:51 - my favorite
"it's waterproof of course,"
"but of course"
Q looks at him like Bond's comments and shenanigans happen every day on the microscale hahaha
From his wiki:
His last appearance as Q prior to his death was in The World Is Not Enough in 1999. During his briefing of 007 in the film, Q introduces John Cleese's character, R, as his heir presumptive, and the film alludes to Q's retirement, to which Bond, after seeing Q, expresses his hope that it will not be any time soon. Q's response is to admonish Bond to "always have an escape plan", after which he lowers himself through the floor of his lab. Llewelyn had stated not long before his death that he had no plans to retire and that he would continue playing Q "as long as the producers want me and the Almighty (God) doesn't."
I guess God decided that He wanted him.

Haha @ 12:48 I like the "easter egg" (for lack of a better term) that the filmmakers for For Your Eyes Only added there... not the first time they've done that in the Bond films.
I never understood the suitcase being so secrety full of hidden gadgets... only to be filled with a massive gun in plain sight.
I think he's a tempting re entry sir 😂😂😂😂😂 12:15
Longest served Bond character actor
“The Ghetto Blaster” 😂😂😂
Not many actors get to go out in such style
RIP Desmond Llewelyn *(1914 - † 1999)*
@5:15 They kept out a line Desmond had wanted to add. "Well there is another way, but you may find it rather uncomfortable." LOL
Ahh such a shame, that would've been genius
Amazing
19:40 i love the way he says Ghettoblaster!
I always loved the scenes with bond’s gadgets
26:05 Don’t Touch That, It’s My Lunch
I swear to god I could listen to q list down spy gadgets all day long
Not gonna lie In the first three Brosnan Movies it felt like Bond and Q were like a Father (Q) and a Son (Bond) I love that detailed in the Brosnan Movies
he was so greatfully pictured in animation movie Despicable Me and portrayed through Dr Nefario.... whole time watching that cartoon was thinking of him as of Dr Q. : ) Rest in peace Doc....
14:56 - forget James Bond, that’s Boba Fett!
My idea for a new 007 francise of movies is as follows:
007 has gotten the ability from q to travel forth and back
in time with a timetravel machine.There he starts to stop
the begining of Spectre.But Spectre has duplicated q's timetravel machine,
so they goes further back in time,and changes lots of historical
happenings,so that the present is quite different when 007 comes back
to present time.007 must therefore stop Spectre before they manages
to duplicate q's timemachine.
"Something we're making for the Americans. It's called 'The Ghetto Blaster'."
Yeah, that sounds like something my country would pay the top secret scientists of another nation for.
...THE ORIGINAL Q is missed,he was a character!!!
Now THAT is how how you exit a franchise. Desmond was a great Q 😊
12:48 the code was the notes to Nobody Does It Better 😍
Best Q ever!
I love how Q becomes more and more jaded with bond per film.
What a king.
I love the gadgets. Its like..."Pay attention Bond. Simply remove the top of this pen, jab it into somebody's eye, and smash it in with your hand like that." (Though on second thoughts, I suppose that's not really a gadget. Just monstrous use of a biro).
That would be John Wick's Q. :)
The relationship between Q and 007 is like a father contending to a rebellious and very curious son with college boy flirty tendencies and teenage wit.
And Desmond, your son hasn't learned his lesson for returning the equipment in pristine order and keeping away from the ladies.
Best Q of them all
17:00 'We haven't time for that.' Q Brain Recalculates 'Ok maybe later'
It's amazing how tech was pretty much the same up til around 2000.
Happy 110th B-Day
1914 - 2024 !!!
Nice work!! The only one I noticed missing was from ‘Diamonds Are Forever’ where James compliments Q for the false fingerprints
excellent
