However, in the final round, three 007 actors pitting against each other, with Sean Connery voted as the greatest James Bond of all time ahead of Timothy Dalton and Piere Brosnan.

Tim Glanfield, editorial director of RadioTimes.com, said: "Sean Connery has once again proven he's the Bond with the midas touch."

"He Thunderball-ed over his opponents and received the most votes from RadioTimes.com readers (with love). It seems just like diamonds, Sean Connery's appeal as 007 is for ever!"

Connery, 89-year-old, played Bond in the first five movies of the series, starting with Dr. No in 1962, and returned for 1971's Diamonds Are Forever. 

Moore starred in seven films while Dalton appeared in two movies, and Brosnan in four.
