And because so many people asked for it, he shared the video as well, and it’s all you’d hope for and more.

Today’s best thing? Probably.

Quite the pose from this man having his photo taken, pretending to be 007 – right in the middle of the BBC lunchtime news pic.twitter.com/8jShs1SrTK

Does he know that James Bond has nothing to do with the police?

I will send a letter in to 'Points of View' to ask.
