Oh yeah, I get that; I think Bond reflects on himself not really looking English in LALD, is that right? Plummer is a great shout especially. I must admit Craig does work for me sometimes, he feels right.

What sort of person do you picture? I think I perhaps have someone in the slight Niven-ish 50s mould, if a bit heavier set. Sometimes it goes towards Lazenby a bit, as he has that sort of period look but doesn't bring personality baggage, if you kno…

Sure, if you like; he did write that about Bond looking like Carmichael though so it's there in black and white despite whether he felt or decided it. Regardless I guess his friend Cotton wasn't as famous in the US so maybe he chose someone who look…

I think he also said that Bond looked like his friend Henry Cotton, a famous golfer of the time. He looked quite similar to Carmichael so maybe that might be the link: he decided Bond looked like his friend and then found another star who looked sim…

Maybe; Barbara and Wilson did call him personally though, and they had dinner with him later in LA to discuss it further. It's obviously a business with an awful lot of money going through and they've got to be professional rather than matey all the…

Interesting, thanks for that, I certainly hadn't seen it before. As you say, those changes are pretty drastic, to the extent I'm not really sure what's left in the film if all of those changes are made as none of the sequences currently in it would …

Maybe not exactly a rare cover version, but this video is a rather fascinating look at the multitrack recording for the single version of You Only Live Twice by Nancy Sinatra, with lots of recorded chat from the producer of the track, Lee Hazelwood.…

Thinking of Hans Zimmer potentially doing another Bond, I remembered he'd once written a song for Johnny English with Robbie Williams. It's not really trying to be a Bond song, but the lyrics are obviously referencing a superspy not a million miles …

Ah okay, no big surprise as you say, but a shame. But a Christmas special for next year is confirmed I see that says, that's nice to know it definitely is coming back.

I wasn't previously aware of this deleted scene: https://twitter.com/tomsmason91/status/1982873594268135725

Ah, right, I did wonder why you’ve been posting odd salty replies to my comments, and this one too. I’m sorry if I’ve annoyed you, I'm not sure what the issue is, but not much more I can say I guess.

Funnily enough I’ve always found Pat Stewart and Dalton similar, must be a Northern ac-tor thing: I actually think they even look alike!

Mind you, I always say, if you are a man who happens to own a bulletproof car and there's a guy across the street who is in danger of getting snipered, maybe just sit in your car outside the building and let him in rather than making him run across …

Oh Rebel Moon is done is it? That did look appalling, and utterly unoriginal too.

Yeah I’ve been trying to weigh up how Craig’s Bond would be in LTK and I agree it would fit, although oddly I struggle slightly with the idea of him quitting his licence altogether for it, as in QoS he doesn’t go after revenge and actually sticks to…
