  • Smart of EoN to go with Eilish. She's the 'hottest star of the moment' and has a huge following. Perhaps this will draw in the youngsters, Bond is certainly no relic of the past, yet ;) I think she will do well, she certainly has an edge. Probabl…

  • I'm glad to read there is more common sense on the mi6community forum than the contrary. Cheers to you gents.

  • “He can be of any color, but he is male,” says Broccoli. Oh babs, don't be silly. Spare us the 'wokeness'. After SPECTRE we might as well name the next one or the one after that WOKE.
