Ian Fleming's spy, James Bond, a commander in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve (RNVR) was fictionally decorated with the CMG in 1953. (This is mentioned in the novels "From Russia, with Love" and "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", and on-screen in his obituary in "Skyfall".) He was offered the KCMG (which would have elevated him from Companion to Knight Commander in the Order) in "The Man with the Golden Gun", but he rejected the offer as he did not wish to become a public figure. Dame Judi Dench's character "M" is "offered" early retirement and a GCMG in "Skyfall" after a series of events resulting in the loss of a list that named every NATO espionage operative.
