Pretty much this. I don't really like it that much (though some of them are good, and Richard Ayoade (is that right?) is such a great actor), but it's known throughout the country.

Also, nah I liked Q, glad he was very techno. Perhaps a tad too much, but still a good addition. Mixing old with new was the theme of the film and Q followed that.

I loved the IT crowd. It was hilarious and completely unlike anything else on TV. RIP

But:

a) The IT Crowd isn't a bond film

b) Skyfall wasn't a comedy

c) Q wasn't funny anyway, he was just irritating. Bear in mind that I am comparing him to John Cleese.

How dare you!! You shouldn't compare him to John Cleese, you should compare him to Desmond Llewelyn, the real Q.

As you like it.

Suave, classy, cool gadgets, respectable air:

Awkward, far from suave, gives him a pistol and a tracking chip:

 

Now don't get me wrong. My attitude towards Ben Whishaw-Q is the same as that towards the rest of the film - he's a good character, and it's a great film. But I really don't feel like this is what Bond has ever been about. I wish they'd just call it by a different name.
