QFT.

I will say though that the casting of Lazenby did lead to one of my favorite gags from the entire series. In the pre-credit sequence, when Bond grabs Teresa out of the ocean, and is in turned roughed up by her handlers, he looks right at the camera and says "This never happened to the other fella." Not exactly subtle but amusing still!
