James Bond will be back on the big screen in No Time To Die come April next year.

Whilst many details of the movie are being kept under wraps, we know there will be a pretty epic car chase scene, and we know there will be sexual innuendos.

Or, as they say in Scrubs, in-your-endo.

That’s due in large part to the presence of Phoebe Waller-Bridge as a screenwriter, with the Fleabag creator known for her cheeky wit.

Rumour has it the following line will appear, reports the Guardian:

 “Get it up, get it up!” implores a passenger in a seaplane that Bond is struggling to fly, to which the spy drily responds: “I’ve never had a problem with that before.”

I’m a big Phoebe Waller-Bridge fan, but that’s not exactly a rip-snorter.

Then again, if you look back over Bond’s history, you’ll find plenty of questionable plotlines and innuendos.

Here are seven that stand out:

“That’s because you know what I can do with my little finger” (Casino Royale)

A rare and early attempt from Craig, delivered in response to Vesper Lynd’s compliment that if all that was left of Bond was his smile and his little finger, his manliness would be intact. You can see why he veered away from this sort of thing.

“I have been known to keep my tip up” (Die Another Day)

How did it take James Bond until 2002 to make a fencing-sword joke? Pierce Brosnan, the natural heir to Roger Moore, deserves extra credit for delivering it to an utterly po-faced Madonna.

“It’s just the right size … for me, that is” (From Russia With Love)

To be honest, this barely qualifies as a double entendre: Tatiana Romanova complains about the size of her mouth, before our man gallantly comforts her.

“Well, tell him to pull out, immediately” (The Spy Who Loved Me)

A directive given by M, upon learning that the agent is, er, on duty in Austria. Cut, of course, to Bond in bed with his latest fancy.

“I’m up here at Oxford brushing up on a little Danish” (Tomorrow Never Dies)

The double innuendo is terribly strained but Brosnan delivers it with enough throwaway panache to make up for the same film’s unforgivable rehash of the old “cunning linguist” punchline.

“I think he’s attempting re-entry” (Moonraker)

Delivered by a technician as Bond and the CIA astronaut Holly Goodhead (of course) are discovered on video after assorted spaceship complications, doing the deed in zero gravity.

“I thought Christmas only comes once a year” (The World is Not Enough)

To name a nuclear physicist Christmas Jones for no reason other than this ludicrous final line represents a ne plus ultra in franchise shamelessness.

Don’t worry, I also Googled ‘ne plus ultra’, and it means “the perfect or most extreme example of its kind; the ultimate”.

I guess we’ll have to wait until April next year to see if the world’s most famous secret agent keeps going at it.
