All of us have a fav spy -someone we’d call on to save our country in our hour of need. Here’s the spies you’ll call upon to save the day and have a martini with afterwards.

James Bond- How could we do this list without mentioning the original cinema spy himself? Always well dressed, with the best gadgets and a gorgeous girl on his arm whilst saving the day, Bond showed us how to save the world with style. We will all argue over who is the best actor to play him, but 007’s abilities are never in any question. Bond is the person we think of when we hear the term ’spy’, and nobody does it better.

Harry Palmer- Micheal Caine played the Anti Bond. Taking a completely different route to the Bond films, Palmers world was much gritter, and the man himself was a mirror image of 007. With glasses and lacking Bonds class, but certainly not his ruthlessness, Palmer proved himself to be a top spy in his own right.

Austin Powers- the 60s hippest spy, who was frozen only to be defrosted in the late 1990s to fight Dr Evil and his schemes. Paying homage to the great spies and the films, Powers had Bond gadgets, Palmers glasses and a charm that was his own. Wed always get a good laugh as he saved the day in the most outrageous ways. The Austin Powers movies paid trbiute to creator Mike Myer’s favourite spy films and carved out a niche all of their own.

Jason Bourne. It took millions of dollars and years to make him good at what he does, but one wrong mission ends up with Bourne not knowing who he is, and inches from death. Bond didnt adapt greatly to the new millenuim, but Bourne slotted in brilliantly, blending into the crowd to work, but not above acting when the moment called for it. Attacked by the agency who trained him over the three movies, Bourne was always one step ahead.
