Correct. They were the actresses who played Miss Moneypenny in the "official" James Bond Films.
Your turn with the Golden Gun.

Connery starred in a James Bond styled spoof in 1967, however why had they lost their previous role?

Was this Sean Connery‘s brother (Jason?)? Did they realise that he wasn’t as good as his brother?

Not Jason, and not the reason...

I seem to remember watching a programme about Sean Connor and it mentioning him getting sacked for asking for a large fee, $1,000,000 rings a bell.

He did. The film was called OK Connery. But had multiple different names.
The reason he was sacked from his previous role (as a plasterer) was he lost his tools

Neil Connery was the younger brother of Sean Connery. I have a feeling that Jason Connery was a nephew.

I have just checked. Jason is Sean’s son…or should that be Shean’s shun?

Jason Connery is/was Sean Connery's only son. Therefore Jason is also Neil Connery's nephew.

I think that @yoyothehobo needs to confirm that it's your turn to set the next question.

Who was a main character in eleven of the novels written by Dennis Wheatley between 1933 and 1970?

(I loved those books. Found Roger Brook -- Wheatley's "Napoleonic James Bond" -- good fun too.)
My question: What is the linking factor concerning the following: beetle / bombardon / corncob / gooseberry / mulberry / phoenix / spud / whale ?

Are these names concerning mulberry harbour units?
D-Day it is: re the artificial landing-points -- "Mulberry Harbours" -- @Xenophon PCDGS: the other words, basically yes -- code-words for various matters associated with same.
@DaleCooper -- "D-Day", a fine and sufficient answer. Congratulations ! I appropriated this question (slightly changing the form) from a gen. knowl. quiz on another message board which I frequent -- people on there, had a terrible time with it: many and varied suggestions, before answer finally achieved (I'd heard of Mulberry Harbours, but the other stuff meant nothing to me).
DC -- your go.

Thank you.
In the late 60s/early 70s West Ham had two players who were to become fathers of arguably two better players.
Who were the fathers and sons?
