Tribute to Desmond Llewelyn is a funny and touching tribute to his Q character in the James Bond films
1 September 2022
After he died in a car accident a few weeks after The World is Not Enough premiered, when the DVD was made of that James Bond movie, Desmond Llewelyn got a tribute video consisting of clips of him as Q guiding the various Bonds through the years: with Sean Connery in Goldfinger and Thunderball, with Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, and Octopussy, with Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill, and with Pierce Brosnan in GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, and TWINE. A clip is also shown of him with leading lady Jill St. John in Diamonds Are Forever showing her how he managed to fix slot machines in Las Vegas! Many funny lines throughout while "Nobody Does It Better" by Carly Simon is playing as the score but Desmond's final scene in TWINE ends this tribute video on a touching note with this exchange between him and Brosnan's Bond:

Q: Now pay attention, 007. I've always tried to teach you two things. First, never let them see you bleed.

James Bond: And the second?

Q: Always have an escape plan!

(At this point, Q presses a gadget that causes him to lower himself as the floor below him goes down in motion as Bond looks on...)
