  • Getafix wrote: » apart from it being Atkinson playing a MI6 character. surely not pure coincidence He’s playing a shit MI7 Spy in the Barclaycard ads who tries to appear ‘cool’. In NSNA he’s just a bumbling suit from the Foreign Office.
  • Getafix wrote: » but the Barclaycard ad must have been inspired by Atkinsons role in NSNA Nah, watch Small-Fawcett, then watch the Barclaycard ads. Totally different characters.
  • Getafix wrote: » so NSNA actually gave birth to Johnnie English. who'd have thought it No, the Barclaycard ad is the origin. Nothing to do with NSNA.

  • It’s a kitsch, but given the fact it is so bizarre I can sort of give it pass. There are much worse elements, such as Atkinson, gurning his face off like some coked up buffoon. Get out of here.

  • ToTheRight wrote: » I feel a period piece Bond film may be inevitable as long as this newfound tradition of long gaps continue. I don’t see the connection. Period Bond won’t happen, primarily because it’s a sh*t idea.
  • Maybe you need to be a Brit to understand Craig’s humour. Actually, I’m beating around the bush. You do.
