  • A View To A Kill Catching up with some of the Bond's in the lower regions of my Bond list. I do enjoy this whenever it gets a rare viewing. Moore is too long in the tooth but he's still good value in this, and his chemistry with Macnee is spot on…

  • Nice to see 'You Know My Name' so popular!
