Is Colin Salmon the New James Bond?

A few months since Eric Bana was rumoured to be the new James Bond, and hit the top of the bookies lists, there's a new would-be successor to the Bond crown

Apparantly Ladbrokes are reporting irregular betting for Colin Salmon and are suspecting a sting according to Sky Online. In just an hour, they took 6 bets for £500 each - highly unusual for what is essentially a novelty bet. The odds plummeted from 20-1 to 6-1 and they have closed the book for now. Ladbrokes also reported that 3 new accounts were opened to place those bets - emphasizing their suspicion that something fishy is going on

Colin Salmon has played M's right-hand man in the last 3 Bond outings and would become the first black James Bond. He's one of many up for the role, including the aforementioned Australian, Eric Bana, Dougray Scott and Ewan McGregor.
