Judi Dench, who started playing the female version of M, head of the British Intelligence, opposite Pierce Brosnan's Bond in GOLDENEYE, said to People she actually misses him.
The 76 year old actress, who remained for the role for the other three Brosnan Bond films, as well as Daniel Craig's outings CASINO ROYALE, QUANTUM OF SOLACE and now the 50th Anniversary Bond film SKYFALL, said: "Daniel's an incredible talent and I love working with him but I still miss Pierce."
Bond fans on the other corner of the world are surprised to know M's maternal instincts are closer to one of his "sons".
