So Q stands for Quartermaster, but where is that actually established? Fleming only mentions Q once I think, along with several mentions of Q Branch, but does he specify that Q Branch is so named because it's the quartermasters? Certainly Boothroyd …

It's kind of hard not to come back to why CR was so good: it established why it was a bit of a risk for M to send Bond on the Casino Royale mission- it kind of feels like there needs to be a bit of a gamble on M's side to send Bond in particular on …

I do still though think he is pretty great casting for The Saint, a role he supposedly got a couple of years back. Sad it'll never happen, like all of the previous stars they cast in the role like James Purefoy and Chris Pine. He's a lot of fun in …

Yeah, tend to think you're right. If they're going to spend megabucks on Zack Snyder movies (which, regardless of your thoughts on the quality of his stuff it is undoubtably pretty cinematic and large scale) and put them on TVs, a relatively sedate …

I guess with a first film you could do all sorts of switches: introduce a new M and have Bond actually kill him, then reveal this M was a traitor, something like that.

That’s interesting, I did think Nocturnal was probably he most effective screen appearance, I didn’t really consider there was even mileage in that role he missed. I can see why he gets hired, he’s not actually bad as such. But he’s not exceptional.

Hot on the heels of Aston Martin announcing a DB12 Goldfinger special edition, Rolls Royce have unveiled their one off tribute to Mr G’s ride: https://www.007.com/rolls-royces-phantom-goldfinger-is-revealed/ The homer in the boot is a love…

A very nice Mk1 Jensen Interceptor in fact.

That's fun, isn't that from the TWINE trailer? Voiceover guy says 'The Wooorrrlllld... belongs... to Bond'

I guess it's quite stylised; it has that repeating thing with overhead shots introducing new locations; plus we get a couple of shots where Bond is in one part of the frame, the camera pans, and then Bond jumps impossibly to another part of the fram…

There’s definitely a sweet spot; they’ll want someone who is experienced in movie acting (or maybe high end TV) but who isn’t a big name and ideally not attached to other movie series. To be honest I think most of the people we’ve been talking about…

That's pretty nicely done. Shame about the naff music! :D

Are you not ignoring me anymore then? Does that mean you accept my apology?

Also don’t forget that Bond wasn’t interested in Felix’s request until M and Nomi warned him off, way too aggressively. That puts his back up and actually provokes him into action. So he’s irritated with M to start with. And then once his friend Fel…

It's never even occurred to me that there is any confusion though: calling senior females ma'am is as correct as calling senior males sir- it's just the right phraseology. Some Americans call their dads 'sir', so does that mean Sean's Bond was calli…

I don’t recognise that description of Bond in Sp. He doesn’t seem depressed at all to me; he’s just following the late M’s orders. Even the idea of him ‘spatting’ with M: M is angry with him but he doesn’t respond to it in kind. The idea he can’t l…

So we’ve had OMHSS, TLD and now GF special editions of AMs so far; are there any more? I think you could get the old DBS in Quantum grey which sort of counts I guess.
