"The next Bond, whichever actor is cast, has to dig through old case files and is astonished to discover that while the facts are as he remembers, his own appearance keeps changing. Then it strikes him how odd it is his memories as a double-0 go back to the 1960s. As far as he remembers, he's been somewhere between 30 and 50 for seven decades.
Then he comes across a file labelled JOE-90.
Way back in the 1960s, it turned out the ability to accept input from the Brain Impulse Galvanoscope Record And Transfer wasn't unique to one boy, just incredibly rare.
New MI5 hires are tested to see if they have the same knack Joe McLaine did. The lucky few get imprinted with Bond memories and skills, then sent into the field. Survivors memories are added to the Bond data bank.
Survivorship bias IS an issue."
