  • Well, I think we got burned the last time around and we're all a bit afraid to dance into the fire. That's the way I feel, and I'm not making an effort for it, it just comes natural, this defence against disappointment. For me, this continuity…

  • I just love them individually and I hate the scooby gang. There was a reason each one had his or hers individual repertoire with Bond. And that worked rather nicely. But having a secretary, a quartermaster and the head of the Secret Services mingle …

  • What the hell happened to Daniel Craig? Did he go to therapy? Is that what it feels like when getting to your 50s? He's brilliantly happy and at ease. Unrecognisable, really. I genuinely feel happy for him. Way to go, Dan. I suppose Jamie Lee Curtis…
