* DiedDuringProduction: By the time the filming of ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'' started, Lee was in the final stages of his stomach cancer, and thus couldn't reprise his role. Therefore, M is explained as being on leave and temporarily replaced by Bill Tanner, as Creator/AlbertRBroccoli refused to have Lee replaced for the film out of respect. The scene with Q in the confessional was originally to have M (indeed, the scene makes far more sense if you imagine Bond is talking to his boss rather than the guy who makes his gadgets). Lee eventually died on January 16, 1981, shortly before filming was wrapped. Robert Brown's M (possibly a promoted Admiral Hargreaves from ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'') replaced him starting with ''Film/{{Octopussy}}''.
