  • It does sound like a Bond lady name though doesn't it. Maybe it is!
  • After Forever has a bit of Fleming, needs another word though!

  • Yeah, even though MR was probably the biggest upgrade in terms of sound quality, this is the one where I've really noticed it the most. It sounds gorgeous. How amazing is it to hear Grand Christmas Eve Ball in full and perfect quality for the first…

  • Funnily enough Knight happened to be doing an interview on 5Live this morning, you can hear his comments on getting Bond and the process (meeting Pascal, talking through some ideas etc.) from 2.22 in: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002gd9t
  • Yeah Watchdives or the slightly more upmarket San Martin (if you see the video above- their one is an automatic) are both Chinese watchbrands, but they're very well-made and with Japanese Seiko movements, and they both have very good reputations and…
  • What's the release date for the release date

  • You can get the earlier AT in 36mm (which I think looks pretty gorgeous to be honest: the proportions really work) and the 2518.50 can be got for just over £1000 / 1.100€ if you shop around and get lucky. Here's an example: https://ebay.us/m/Ehaxf…

  • Likewise, nothing against LTK and it is good, but it's not really one that rewards a standalone listen as much as LALD does.

  • Wow, that's big news! And a very prestigious writer, I'm really happy about that. This is shaping up to be a pretty impressive line-up, fingers crossed they all last the distance.

  • Missing half the words?
  • He's got a Jensen Interceptor. Which is the same model the previous screen version of Inspector Lynley drove so I don't know if it's mentioned in the books or something. Although I think he then drove a Bristol in later series so maybe the Jensen in…

  • The earlier ATs were a smaller size; I think mine might even be 36mm.

  • With Villeneuve I could believe that someone like Josh O’Connor is more in the running.
  • The very last 007 production from Eon! Looks like GoldenEye's Contra Dam is featured. I wonder if they bungee jump off it!
  • Yeah that's great- the trailer even gives a glimpse of Bond driving a bin lorry! I do think a Bond game should really offer the full experience.
  • Honestly I think they're rather cool, embracing the retro graphic design of the films but. in a contemporary treatment. I find all of the new covers really quite artistic. DN, YOLT and TB are the pick of them for me. I wonder if it's just coinciden…
  • I guess Mendes is ultimately to blame as he’s steering the ship, but we know from the leaks the script was getting pulled all over the place from various angles at Sony, it’s real committee stuff.

  • Which seems a bit mad to me in a way (imagine a Spielberg Moonraker instead of 1941!) but I guess maybe after Jaws he might have been getting percentages of gross (I don't know, I expect the info is out there) and Broccoli certainly wouldn't have wa…
