After months of speculation the next James Bond has finally been cast.
Christopher Eccleston will be the sixth actor to play the world's most famous secret agent and he is said to be delighted to have been signed up for a record-breaking five year deal (especially since he'll only do the one).
"I'm well chuffed," said Chris. "It's about time we had a Bond who spoke like a twat, had a chip on his shoulder, and stood in the corner of the room with his arms crossed, grinning like a Cheshire Cat having a stroke. I can't wait to get started and fall out with the director. Fantastic!"
Tachyon TV can exclusively reveal that Chris was actually the second choice to play Bond but no one can spell Ioan Gruffud, let alone say it.
