Watch Daniel's full extended interview with Ali on BBC iPlayer in the UK: bbc.in/2XJbTSm Including more of his greatest Bond moments and his memories of the London Olympics Opening Ceremony with The Queen. Plus we hear from Rami Malek, Lashana Lynch, Léa Seydoux and Jeffrey Wright.

Whoever setup the lighting for this set earned their paycheck. It looks fantastic.

Said it before and I'll say it again: Ali Plumb is the best interviewer and he gets the best interviews from his guests - it always feels fresh, real and engaging. A pleasure to watch, as always .. keep up the great work!!

I'll truly miss him. My favourite Bond, and I don't see anyone eclipsing him.

Daniel Craig’s time as Bond is already over… 5 films…. 16 years….. where did those years go?! He’s been fantastic as Bond. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

So refreshing to see a prepared and thoughtful interviewer asking good questions and not the same old same old. Also cool to see Mr. Craig so kind and humorous and engaging. Thanks for a nice video!

This is the most relaxed I've ever seen him - almost like a weight has been lifted off?! The next guy has HUGE shoes to fill!!

I never liked or watched Bond films until Daniel Craig came along. Now I'm hooked. I love that depth he brings to Bond's character and that part of humanity in him.

Daniel seems so much happier in his No time to die interviews, I’ve never seen him laugh that much! It’s either: 1- his PR team told him to behave better to make sure this movie is a success 2- he’s more relaxed cause Bond is DONE 3- take some time off during the pandemic changed him and made him a happier person 4- all the above

The part where he went home and celebrated his big win by himself brought tears to my eyes...I swear...we've all been there when fate finally gives you that big moment.

The fact that he started making martinis…the dedication

Huge shoes to fit in. This gent has been the best Bond ever. His Bond has taken the films into the stratosphere. I’ve loved the series since I was a little girl and cried as No Time To Die ended. Oh my days what a guy

He does way better with a person interviewing him.

His movies literally changed the face of Bond movies. The cinematography, the action sequences, made the movies way more darker that it ever was. Thank you Daniel Craig. Casino Royale and Skyfall is my favorite Bond movies of all time. I'll miss you being Bond man. ❤️

Daniel really brought James Bond out of the 90’s

at least Daniel Craig was able to make non- Bond movies that really didn't typecast him to only doing Bond films. He is a very versatile actor who can do all sorts of different characters.

Glad he shows how much he genuinely wants to make Bond a great series and different with each outing.

In my mind he was the first Bond to give the man a soul and relatability. He gave the character depth and it really paid off.

Its crazy how relaxed and refreshed he seems now compared to the press tour for Spectre, he seemed like a broken man at that point

Loved how in the end of the interview Daniel talked about rarity of James Bond movies. You've added a part of your personality and life to the cinema history, Mr. Craig, and it is a valuable input.

I’m a Connery fan, but Daniels has been, hands down, the best Bond.

He's set the bar so Fucking high, it's really gonna be hard for anyone who does it next....... Impossible to be honest.....

Probably the most relaxed and natural interview with Craig I've seen.

Daniel Craig was a great Bond. Craig’s version is closest to what Fleming envisioned. Over the years Bond was turned in to a caricature. Now it’s action packed and most importantly it’s great drama packed with emotion.

Since I was a kid I became a James Bond movie fan. I have everyone of them, each actor was great on their own terms, no matter of the limitations of the time. Daniel Craig excel 100% and bring the movies to the top. Thanks Daniel Craig.

Charm just busting out of him. He's up there with the best and most iconic Bond actors.

Daniel is definitely my favorite Bond

Daniel, if you read this, you’ve been the BEST Bond in the franchise, you will be sorely missed x

He was great in our friends up north

He's much more comfortable doing interviews than when he started.

Daniel is the most professional 007 I have ever seen till date.

he reinvented the caracter 100 %, we´ll miss him for sure, let´s just hope the next 007 is nearly as great as this one

The insuperable and utmost compatible interviewer ever. Period.

Ali, great interviewer as always. Daniel, great actor and chill person. But the Edition Team on these clips, damn... Sharp and dynamic. The Storm Trooper dropping the gun bit, perfectly laid. Thanks for Quality content always!.

Definitive Bond of a generation! Will be really hard to top him. Love you Daniel!

One of the best bonds there’s ever been! Will be missed for sure

Daniel Craig has been my personal favourite James Bond, he’s set the standard really high for the next actor whoever they might be and I hope that the film is as good as I’m hoping that it will be. If I ever get to meet the bloke I’ll be sure to buy him a drink or ten to say thanks.

One of the best bond actor, will miss him

He likes to have a laugh and giggle on set? I really, really didn't expect that. I see him being a seriously serious and moody individual. A pleasant surprise if not

I loved Sean Connery as Bond, but no one will be able to eclipse Daniel Craig. He is the best!

Love this interviewer! He's so friendly and makes the interview enjoyable to watch

Daniel says he hopes he's left Bond in a better place than where he found it.. Job done a million times over I'd say 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Interviewer was excellent. Very natural and not overly fan boy.

it's gonna be emotional seeing his last film as bond. I've been rooting for him all the way since Layer Cake. I believe he essentially became bond from thenon. I hope he can create another legacy with knives out.

No one can top Craig. Will be sorely missed as Bond, but best of luck Daniel on all future endeavors 💗

He is the best. I love that he brought clear intelligence to be making lightening flash decisions under pressure, the physicality to run parkour in Casino Royale, but also having an emotional vulnerability while being impossibly cool which gives Craig’s Bond the most complexity of them all.

Great interview! It makes such a difference when the interviewer has the personality to engage and come up with interesting questions. I remember first hearing that Daniel Craig was to play bond and my response was, "Who is this guy? Why is he blonde? What's going on?" So I had fairly low expectations when I watched Casino Royale. However, the film blew me away and turned me into a true Daniel Craig believer. He's done an awesome job and although I love all the Bonds, he remains a definite favourite.

He is the only Bond that made me interested in the franchise. Gonna miss him 💕

I’m aware that the man has done press all this years but it truly feels like we are just getting to know him and I kinda love it

Daniel Craig really elavated the James Bond franchise. I love the story behind how he started. A Rookie with double O Status with Vesper's betrayal turning him into a dangerous and vengeful bond. Now he is more merciful and sophisticated. He became the bond that would be a enormous challenge for the future bond actor to beat.

Universally likeable guy, amazing james bond, fantastic actor.

He really grew on me. I was very skeptical about Daniel Craig when he first took on 007 role, but I'm glad he did.

Layer Cake is how James Bond happened, there’s the scene in it where Colin Meaney is sitting down with xxxx character as he chooses a gun to perform an assignation of Jimmy Price, on selecting the specific one Craig proceeds to move around the apartment in a secret agent mimic ‘on the original dvds Meaney’s character references ‘ah, for fucksake, give him a gun and he thinks he’s James Bond’, those early dvds where withdrawn and replaced with an edited version removing that specific reference

Never seen a Daniel Craig interview before but Ali seems to make everyone he interviews happy

Dammit, I HAVE to live long enough to see this film. Followed this remarkable actor for a long time now, A hero indeed precisely because of his restraint

Anyone here after watching the new movie? I never watched Bond films until Daniel Craig came along. He hooked me in and attracted my attention; ever since then, I have loved every bit of his movies. I love that depth he brings to Bond's character and that part of humanity in him. His movies literally changed the face of Bond movies. The cinematography, the action sequences, made the movies way more darker that it ever was. Loved how in the end of the interview Daniel talked about rarity of James Bond movies. You've added a part of your personality and life to the cinema history, Mr. Craig, and it is a valuable input. Thank you Daniel Craig. Thank u for great movies like; Casino Royale, Skyfall and NOW No Time To Die; my favourite Bond movie/ any movie of all time. I'll miss you being my James Bond, the one I grew up watching and still do, reminiscing how cool you are all while still looking up to you. ❤ To whoever is the next James Bond they have got huge shoes to fit in. This gent has been the best Bond ever. His Bond has taken the films into the stratosphere. I’ve loved the series since I was a little and cried as No Time To Die ended. Oh my days what a guy. Daniel Craig’s time as Bond is already over… 5 films…. 16 years….. where did those years go?! He’s been fantastic as Bond. ❤❤❤❤❤ Daniel Craig has been my personal favourite James Bond, he’s set the standard really high for the next actor whoever they might be and I hope that the film is as good as I’m hoping that it will be. If I ever get to meet the bloke I’ll be sure to buy him a drink or ten to say thanks. Daniel Craig excels all the James Bonds and brings it to this whole new level. This man made a whole new world with his time frame and the position he was in while playing James Bond. Daniel Craig is the absolute epitome of any actor reforming, improving & developing a movie to a 110% piece of work; always going above and beyond all expectations. He truly brings the movies to the top. Thanks Daniel Craig, Ml to my hero Craig... Daniel, Craig :)

With that icy cold blue eyes, it's the James Bond that I prefer.

Well this is just delightful.

THE BEST James Bond So human and believable, love your humour!

Wow i just watched the gq "interview" before this one and you can instantly tell how good Ali is as an interviewer. Daniel is just so much more himself, relaxed and seems to actually enjoy it.

He is such a lovely and warm person, it really surprises me every time because he often plays these cold guys

We'll all surely miss Craig as 007. He helped bring the character to a whole new generation of fans who, like me, got introduced into this world through his movies. I can't wait to see No Time to Die over and over again!

He literally shut me up. I didn't want to watch Bond movies when he became Bond. I was an idiot (probably still am). After years and years I watched Quantum of Solace. I loved it and thought: crap, I haven't seen Casino Royal. Then Skyfall came and to this day it is my favorite Bond-movie. I had to get used to the new vibe; bigger, more fighting, less charm and subtle stuff, but it worked out. He is simply amazing. Sorry for doubting.

Thank you for thanking him like that Ali, that’s exactly what I would say to him right now after these 15 years. And exactly the way you said it. It’s left such an impact on me, more than I ever thought a Bond movie would, and I’m very grateful to Daniel for bringing such amazing life to him. And once again, wonderful interview.

Daniel Craig has been Bond for almost my entire life and will always be the best to me

It pleases my heart to know that he is as lovely and personable in person as I hoped he might be.

He looks so happy to be where he is. Older, wiser and having lived through one of the best experiences an actor or really anyone can have. I sincerely hope the next 007, whether that be a new Bond or even a different character altogether, has the best opportunities ahead of them.

Really gonna miss Daniel Craig. Loved his take on the role.

What a great actor and what a humble person. I am so happy he got to play Bond

No Time to Die will be my first trip back to the theatre during Covid

The.most relaxed I've ever seen him in an interview. Might be because he's not stuffed into a suit. But then, this interviewer is excellent at keeping the mood mellow and good humoured. He did a similar interview with Tom Cruise, which is well worth a look.

One of the best chat between a journalist and actor I have seen (or heard) ... Super nice!

Great interview. Very smooth, not boring. Very charming. The feedbacks between the two gave great chemistry. Daniel Craigs smile and laughter lit up the place. The interviewer's whole presence helped relax the environment. Good job.

He did a great job playing 007, I'm curious to find out who will follow in his footsteps though.

Literally grew up watching Daniel Craig's James Bond. I was 7 years old when the first one came out and now I am 22 when it ends, my favorite childhood movies are coming to a close :(

I just watched it in theaters in korea. this was the best since casino royale. such a perfect finale and it totally kept the 007 legacy. daniel craig was the essence of 007 and himself as an actor...i was a teenager when casino royle came out and now i'm thirty. I'm mostly saddened but also so happy that i've followd him all these years. he is the best james bond ever. man...so many feelings...feelings.

What a charming man. Delightful interview with the most intelligent interviewer I have ever heard. Thank you so much.

He certainly will be missed in the role.

The fact that Daniel Craig did one of the most self-assured characters in all movie history and he avoids eye contact in real person 😂, anyways hi is amazing !

Daniel and everyone in the production team kept the bar high from the very first movie till the latest! It's a great achievement and probably feels as a huge weight is now lift off his shoulders. He deserves all the happiness and praise.

In all these promotional press circuit interviews of Daniel, he's so obviously long checked out of Bond and being Bond it's hilarious.

Craig's 'Casino Royale' will be very hard to beat, no matter who's in the role.

I was raised on Daniel Craig’s James Bond so seeing him go after so many fantastic films is a little bittersweet. All the best to whoever tries to fill the massive massive shoes he has left

Brilliant interview! Luv this interviewer. And Daniel is so open, vulnerable and human. Amazing actor- looking forward to seeing this one...

Pause it at 3:43 (when he kicks and bursts through the wall) you can't miss all the knife scoring at the back of the drywall/sheetrock.

Thank you for your service Mr. Bond.

I don't think Daniel understood Ali's comment at the end: "You've been brilliant" It sounded like "for this interview", But I think he meant "as Bond". Because he is. The best Bond ever (sorry Sean).

I’ve said it before and I going to keep saying it thank you Daniel Craig for a truly great and amazing James Bond.

Great interview bro! I'm really gonna miss Daniel as Bond because he brought a serious realism to the role that was more true to the original Bond character in Ian's books. ALL of the actors over the years who have portrayed Bond did a wonderful job of it, in their own style and way. I grew up with him and a bloody yank at that! I will ALWAYS be a huge fan!

I'm gonna miss him in that role

I was 15 when Daniel Craig became James Bond and now I’m 30 watching his reign as the most complex and best Bond ever come to an end. Thank You Daniel 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank You Daniel 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Very natural interview, glad to see Craig again

I'll miss him. Truly miss him as Bond. He was amazing. Thank you Daniel Craig. Best in my eyes.

What an incredible gentleman and he has great humility and humour. My favourite Bond as well. For those who love Craig's work I can highly recommend Archangel, filmed in Russia 2005. It is a ripper of a thriller and his character has a bit of Bond in it. It also has a strong, beautiful character who works as an equal next to him played by Ekaterina Rednikova.

He'll be dearly missed in this role. When I saw Casino Royale, Bond finally made sense to me, no previous incarnations actually made such an impact. See you next weekend in actual cinema Mr Bond!

Watched (NO TIME TO DIE) on September 30th and after watching the film i can't see anyone doing 007 better then Daniel Craig. End of Era

The train scene with Vesper in Casino Royale is one of my favorites. The dialogue was awesome.

God, I’m really gonna miss his portrayal, but I’m just so happy he came back to do one more. He’s genuinely my favorite bond, and the next bond actor is gonna have some BIG shoes to fill. Can’t wait to see the films that Daniel Craig does going forward; he’s an amazing actor.

My favourite Bind of all, and dragged the franchise off it’s knees. Such a gent in this interview too.

Daniel redefined Bond, which in itself is an amazing achievement. Pealing back the character to a more nostalgic Bond. Best Bond since Connery.
