I saw it a few weeks ago. Basically, all agents working for M
were renamed/renumbered to be 007, so as to try to confuse the enemy.
Moreover, I believe that a number of additional agents were
recruited, and also named/numbered 007. Counting all the people you
didn't see on camera, thanks to "Casino Royale", there have been
literally hundreds and hundreds of 007s.
Unfortunately, the movie wasn't particularly good. IMO, it would
be a real waste of airtime to put it on TV.
