Think they've shown 'Never Say Never Again' and 'Casino Royale' (spoof Bond) but I'm not sure about the others.

Aside from those mentioned in the last answer - which I can't verify - the answer is an emphatic NO. Bond films were not shown on TV as other films were, namely in the cinema then on TV a few years later (back in the 70's and 80's I think it used to be at least 5 years later).


Anyway, I can't remember when exactly but it wasn't until either the late 70's or 80's that ITV won the rights to show the bond films, and even then there were conditions. Unlike now they were considered something special and - with first showings on TV at least - as a major major film in spite of their age when compared to other major films that could have been shown.
