I went to see the latest James Bond film last night…cracking. What great entertainment.

I love a good Bond.  And, to put my neck on the line, I think that Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever.  Why? Well for loads of normal reasons. He is hard, tough, well dressed, likes a tipple, doesn’t say too much, is convincing as a killing machine…

But the main reason is… his voice. Having listened really carefully to him, it took me a while to work to place where I heard him else where…then it struck me. On a schools video that I have used loads of times with kids.  Mr Craig is the narrator to a BBC documentary on the rise of the Nazis made about 14 years ago!  You can watch it here.

So there you go. James Bond can help your history lessons!
