John Cleese still wants a role in James Bond 21, but current script may lack Q character

�I�m very happy to give Pierce this one last gadget,� said John Cleese at the Irish Film and Television Awards in Dublin last night.

He paid tribute to Pierce Brosnan afterwards for the professionalism he had displayed in his four Bond films.

�There�s no bullshit. He�s very nice, he�s generous and very professional. Shooting with him is easy � he doesn�t screw things up,� he said.

However, he cast doubt on his participation in the next Bond film.

�I�m told that if there is a Q, I will be Q. But I think if they were to cast someone much younger as Bond, I�m not sure they�d want an old Q. I don�t believe there�s a Q in the current version of the script,� he said.

Thanks to `Mathewww` for the alert.
