I was watching it again on the 4K and the end underwater battle is all going fine: we see lots of divers fighting in various ways, then it steps up a gear and Bond turns up and gets involved and does various stuff like the bit around the wreck and i…

Good point, yeah; he probably didn't do that video test thing.

I think it's pretty flat, but it is good to see Felix getting involved. It's kind of baffling at times like TB or LALD where he just disappears by the climax, seemingly for no other reason that he knows it's a James Bond film and he shouldn't be the…

For me, Moonraker is essential. I love OHMSS, but MR is still the top of the tree in terms of these releases for my money.

It’s worth catching Maverick, it’s a much better film than TG and one of the best blockbusters in years.

I think I’d go for Amy out of the two as she would have co-written the song and she was a brilliant songwriter as well as singer. Frank would just have sang Barry’s melody and so we’re not missing as much as we did with Amy not being able to do it. …

It's kind of how any film with a potential sequel works though, isn't it? Plenty of sequels aren't directed by the same person as the first film and have to stick with the casting they're given. Half an eye on where the films might be heading in …

So I'm a bit confused, the film version has a different opening and ending to the album version, but is the main bit of the track the same take on both?

I guess it's possible, but Eon always seemed to be pretty efficient with their archiving of that stuff (not least it's handy to check if you need to hire the same actor for the next film), I feel like it's more likely a choice that Sam Neill's is ou…

Even though he's very confident and swaggery in stuff like The Gold, oddly I do find that ad to be weirdly persuasive, as he's got a bit more of a tongue-in-cheek confidence to him and is kind of charming. And he's also a very good actor, as we've s…

I love it. There's definitely bits which could be tightened up (the fire truck chase is a bit limp, and stuff like the fight in Stacey's house is very uninspired) but I wouldn't make bigger changes. Some folk suggest that Roger shouldn't have been i…

Yeah I think it might be seen as bad form in a way; folks don't necessarily want their failures out there. I think it's interesting that we've never seen any of the winning actors' tests apart from photos, I guess the closest is the quick behind …

Yeah I was excited when I heard there was a new one but it just doesn’t do it for me, the old one is much cooler.

I guess for the sake of argument, here's Jack Lowden having a bit of fun with his inner 007:

Lovely stuff, putting zero effort into the miming there!
