So, Brosnan was reportedly first approached to play James Bond for AVTAK. Perhaps AVTAK would have been more highly regarded because there would be less attention paid to the age gap between Moore and Tanya Roberts. FWIW, and I say this a fan of the Moore/Roberts pairing, I think the chemistry between the two of them would have been smouldering.

And perhaps Paris Carver could have been... Stacey Carver.

Did not know that, thought Daylights was always intended to be Broz's debut. If it had been View, he's have been the same age as Connery in Dr No (32).

Moore may have been to old by then, but a Brosnan just out of kindergarten would have been worse.

Well... as the article suggests, Brosnan would have been the same age as Connery in DN.

Dalts would have been just right for FYEO, re-grounding the series after MR. I often imagine a decade of Dalton (tho I do have a hard time imagining him do any form of VIEW) starting with FYEO. Also imagine OCTO minus the gorilla suit, hard to believe as that might seem ...
