Daniel Craig's James Bond adventure explored in new TV special

Daniel Craig's adventure as James Bond is the focus of a new TV retrospective.

The 53-year-old actor first starred as 007 in 2006's 'Casino Royale' and his 15-year journey in the role is explored in 'Being James Bond', which is set to air on Apple TV on September 7.

Daniel - who shares his personal memories of playing Bond with producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli in the special - says: "A lot of people here have worked on five pictures with me. I've loved every single second of these movies, and especially ['No Time To Die'] because I've got up every morning and I've had the chance to work with you guys, and that has been one of the greatest honours of my life."

Barbara, 61, also hailed Daniel's performance in the role, describing his Bond adventure as "extraordinary".

The producer - who has been involved with the iconic film franchise for more than 25 years - explains: "Daniel has just taken this, the character, the series, the whole thing, to a place that is so ... extraordinary. And so emotionally satisfying."

Daniel is playing Bond for the final time in the much-anticipated 'No Time To Die', which also features the likes of Ana de Armas, Lea Seydoux and Ben Whishaw.

And Michael admitted that making the last film was a particularly emotional experience.

He says: "It's also emotionally tough being Daniel's last one. It's tough on Barbara, it's tough on me."

'Being James Bond' features never-before-seen archival footage from all of Daniel's Bond films - including 'Quantum of Solace', 'Skyfall' and 'Spectre' - over the last 15 years. The TV special will be available in over 30 countries and regions around the globe next month via the Apple TV app.
