Dame Judi Dench wasn't "best pleased" when her James Bond character was killed off.

The star, 79, played MI6 boss M in seven Bond films from 1995 and was disappointed when she was told her character was going to die in 2012's Skyfall.

Discussing her achievements over the past decade in an article for You magazine, she said: "So much has happened to me in the past 10 years.

"I have played M three more times and was not best pleased when they killed me off in Skyfall."

However, Dame Judi is looking forward to what the future has in store for her.

She said: "I await the next offers on stage and screen with interest."

The star also feels she has been able to keep her options open when it comes to new parts as she has avoided being typecast in certain roles.

She said: "All my life I have tried to avoid being typecast or pigeonholed, and when ever anyone says, Oh, you shouldn't play that part,' it only makes me more determined to try."
