London...again. Sick people killing good people on the streets of the UK.

Was the final scene with Janet Brown portraying Margaret Thatcher, appropriate, in FYEO?
As someone who watched it on release in the summer of 1981 I have always enjoteyed this coda. Thatchers policies were beginning to bite and we had terrible riots in Brixton down to mass unemployment and 'stop and search'. The audience howl…

Pierce Brosnan: "I Loved Skyfall"
It took you ten years pierce but you got there in the end. A blend? I see more of moore then connery but he was never really his own man.

The most disappointing Bond movie?
The Brosnan era. The whole of it. A major step backwards after the Dalton era.

Masterchef UK. Your fav Bond girls tomorrow night on BBC1...yum.
I saw it and it was very enjoyable. Eunice Gayson, Martine Beswick, Tania Mallet, Shirley Eaton, Jenny Hanley, Madeleine Smith, Dame Britt Ekland, Caroline Munro, Fiona Fullerton, and some bints from GE and DAD. I have never seen so much hair dye …

What country would you like to feature in a Bond movie?
I still say East Africa could be a good one - salvage diving off Zanzibar, landrover chase at Ngorongoro and speedboat chase on Lake Malawi.

Did Judi Denchs' M metaphorically shoot herself in the foot?

Did Judi Denchs' M metaphorically shoot herself in the foot?

Bash your favorite Bond film and/or defend your least favorite

Pierce Brosnan backs first black James Bond
I sometimes seriously wonder about Brosnans judgement. After the tarantino debacle you would have thought he would have checked brain is in gear before putting mouth into motion. Or it could just be lazy journalism

Which do you like more: The Chemistry between Brosnan & Dench or Craig & Dench?
Craig/dench for me. The acting and script are stratospherically better. I am not convinced Brosnan had good chemistry with any of his screen ladies

The reboot happened at exactly the right time. The series had painted itself into a corner. The rebuilt restored its credibility. The public rediscovered james bonds essentials again. I am not sure it would have worked before although fyeo is abit …

What do you miss about Bond, that the older ones have and the new ones don't?
The only thing i miss is john barry. Newman did some great cues in sf but imagine the shanghai intro under jb Other then that nothing. I love the new films. There is alot i dont miss about the old films.

Barbara Broccoli: Craig is best Bond
Good job she does fancy him - thats why she pushed so hard for him. Its between dan and sean for best. Personally i find dans performance better. But apart from frwl seans stories didn't require it.

Tim is on the hot fuzz dvd commentary and he is a real hoot. The mood changes when ken cranham asks him who his bond director was? And tim isnt happy at all answering.
