Q is a fictional character in the James Bond novels and films. Q (standing for Quartermaster), like M, is a job title rather than a name. He is the head of Q Branch, the fictional research and development division of the British Secret Service. The character actually appears only fleetingly in Ian Fleming's novels, but comes into his own in the successful Bond film series; he is also mentioned in the continuation novels of John Gardner and Raymond Benson. The character of Q (although not always identified as such) has appeared in each of the 007 films except in Live and Let Die and the 2006 version of Casino Royale; it has not yet been announced whether the character will return in the as-yet untitled Bond 22. Casino Royale showcases a number of gadgets and sophisticated tools used by Bond, however the film does not indicate whether a Q Branch per se exists in the revised Bond universe.

Major Boothroyd

The ancestry of the Q character is rather complicated. In the Fleming novels there are frequent references to 'Q Branch', with a reference to "Q's craftsmen" in From Russia with Love. In the sixth novel, Dr. No, the service armourer Major Boothroyd appears for the first time. Fleming named the character after Geoffrey Boothroyd, a firearms expert who lived in Glasgow, Scotland. He had written to him suggesting that Bond was not using the best firearms available. Boothroyd is also referenced occasionally in the Bond novels of John Gardner, but the author preferred instead to focus on a new character (see "Other Qs", below). An armorer or armourer (US English/Commonwealth English) was in former times a smith who specialized in manufacturing and repairing arms and armor. ...

In the films, Major Boothroyd first appears in Dr. No and later in From Russia with Love, although played by different actors. Beginning in Goldfinger and in each film thereafter Major Boothroyd is most often referred to as Q, however, in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) he is referred once again as Major Boothroyd in dialogue. Some sources, most notably the 1980s James Bond 007 role-playing game suggested that Boothroyd's first name was Geoffrey (the real Boothroyd's given name), although no first name was ever mentioned in the novels or on screen. In the non-canonical James Bond Jr. cartoon series, Boothroyd's grandson was Horace Boothroyd III, suggesting that Major Boothroyd was also named Horace.

In the first film, Dr. No, Boothroyd is played by Peter Burton in only one scene in which he replaces Bond's Beretta .25 pistol with Bond's signature .32 Walther PPK handgun.

In the James Bond films, the relationship between Q and Bond is one of fatherly exasperation ("Oh, do grow up, 007!") met with adolescent indifference. The exception is during From Russia with Love, Llewelyn's Bond debut, in which he simply introduces the gadgets, then makes sure Bond knows how to work the booby-trapped briefcase catches. The relationship was established by director Guy Hamilton in Goldfinger, when he explained to Llewelyn that he didn't want Q to actually like Bond, since the agent tended to abuse and destroy Q's gadgets when in the field. However, on occasions Q has shown a warm and fatherly concern for Bond's welfare and safety, such as when he secretly sneaked gadgets out of MI6 to help Bond survive his vendetta against the drug tyrant Sanchez in Licence to Kill. In that same film, Timothy Dalton refers to Q as his uncle.

The gadgets Q supplies are almost invariably destroyed as a result of Bond's use of them, and Q is constantly exhorting Bond to take better care of them and to occasionally read the instruction manual. Before introducing any new gadgets, Q is nearly always quoted as saying: "Now pay attention, 007." Bond usually responds by displaying an instant mastery of whatever device Q hands to him.

In addition to the tech laboratories, Q occasionally meets Bond in the field to deliver some equipment or to personally handle some specialized devices to assist Bond. This goes so far as in Octopussy, where Q aids him getting onto the cult's island and gives some help in the final battle, and in Licence to Kill (1989), where Q sides with Bond, supplying him with gadgetry and even helping him operationally despite Bond's having resigned from the British Secret Service.

Portrayed by	John Cleese

In The World Is Not Enough an assistant to Major Boothroyd (Q) was introduced, played by comedian John Cleese. His real name has yet to be revealed, but he is initially credited as R in The World Is Not Enough stemming from a joke in which Bond asks the elder Q: "If you're Q does that make him R?"

John Marwood Cleese (born 27 October 1939) is an English comedian and actor best known for being one of the members of the comedy group Monty Python and for co-writing the TV series Fawlty Towers in which he played Basil Fawlty. ...

Between films, Cleese was still referred to as "R" in the video game 007 Racing (2000) and in Agent Under Fire (2001) until he was elevated to "Q" in Die Another Day (2002) following actor Llewelyn's death in 1999. In 2004, Cleese was featured as Q in James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing. Namcos Pac-Man was a hit, and became a cultural phenomenon. ... 007 Racing is a racing game based on the James Bond licence. ... Agent Under Fire is a first-person shooter video game based on the James Bond licence. ...

Initially portrayed as rather clumsy, once R was "promoted" to Q he has become more self-assured and more in the style of his predecessor. They both share the same attitude towards their professional work. In almost every film one or the other have said either "I never joke about my work" or "Pay attention" to Bond.

Although having some similar characteristics, Cleese's Q is almost a radical departure from Major Boothroyd. From the start, Cleese's Q never liked Bond based simply from Bond's reputation of not returning items in pristine condition. When Bond tries to joke with Q, Cleese's Q is a lot quicker at comebacks than Boothroyd's was, making him more of a match for Bond in terms of wit. Bond: "You're cleverer than you look." Q: "Still, better than looking cleverer than you are."

Other Qs

Geoffrey Bayldon as Q

In the 1967 version of the non-EON production Casino Royale, Q is played by Geoffrey Bayldon, although he kits out not James Bond, but one of his substitutes Evelyn Tremble (Peter Sellers). Generally held to be one of the stronger sequences in the uneven film, the famous gadget sequence is mercilessly lampooned. "It's an American idea," Q tells Tremble as he gives him a watch with two-way camera attached, "they got it from one of their comic strips," a reference to Dick Tracy.

Algernon

In the 1983 unofficial (non-EON Productions) film Never Say Never Again, Q Branch is headed by a man (played by Alec McCowen) referred to by Bond as "Algernon" and "Algy", though his opening line is "Nice to know old Q can still surprise you 00s." In the closing credits, he is named as "Q Algy". It is never stated whether he is intended to be a successor to the EON Q (like the film's M is said to be) or actually a manifestation of Boothroyd.

Q-like characters

The "gadget-man" character type epitomised by Q has been featured in numerous other productions centred around a secret agent theme. For example, the 1990s series La Femme Nikita featured the character of Walter, a wizened agent who designs all the gadgets and tools used by "Section One". A similar character was played by John Rhys-Davies in the short-lived spy series Under Cover.
