  • It has to be Fiona Volpe for me. Beautiful and deadly in equal measure.
  • Advance notice that my WW2 Espionage thriller "An Ungentlemanly Act" will be available from amazon for free on Wednesday the 5th of October. This promotion will run for one day only so I hope you are able to take advantage of the offer. I will post…
  • I don't think they would have used Anglias. Austin 1100's perhaps along with the P6 & Cortinas/Escorts as area 'Panda' cars. with S type Jags & possibly P6's as traffic vehicles. In those days British bikes would have been used. The 'Black M…
  • I sign into MI6 most mornings to have a read of the discussions & unfortunately on most mornings I find a spammer (or multiples thereof) attempting to advertise some junk. I always flag such posts but was wondering if there is anything which can…

  • I watched 'The Wicker Man' on Saturday night. A great film.
  • @BradyM0Bondfanatic7 thanks for that however (although I didn't make myself clear) I was speaking about the media as opposed to the victims. They have gone far enough to give rise to speculation as to who the offender is so why not hand over their i…
  • If they think they know who this person is then why don't they pass their suspicions onto the police? Or has this already been done?
  • Like most folks I just had a passing interest in the films when I was a kid. What really got me into Bond however was when I was bequeathed a full set of Fleming novels. I only read Casino Royale out of some sense of duty to my late friend but I was…
  • 'The Man Who Would Be King'. It was part of a takeover TV initiative where Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones showed all his favourite TV shows & movies over the weekend. I must say old Keith & I broadly share the same tastes in programmes…
  • Does anyone here remember the TV show 'Land Of The Giants'? It was a made for TV science fiction show. I used to watch it when it was originally shown but have just noticed it is being repeated on the 'Horror' channel.
  • My most frightening film moments were as a boy watching the old Frankenstein & Werewolf films starring Boris Karloff & Lon Chaney. Also the Hammer house of horror movies used to be quite effective at scaring me but to me they were never as e…
  • Great idea for a thread. TBH though I'm struggling to see where many of the films mentioned earlier on fit into the Film Noir genre.

  • Thunderpussy wrote: » Yes, great news. I've also added a five star review. @Stag Thanks @Thunderpussy. I haven't seen it yet. I hope you enjoyed the read & if there is anything you would like to perhaps see feature in the next Flynn ad…
  • Dragonpol wrote: » Glad to hear that this novel is selling so well? @stag. It's selling steadily, indeed it has passed all my expectations thus far & is moving paid copies every single day. There are two amazon bestseller charts - one f…

  • I've just had my first review for An Ungentlemanly Act - not on amazon but the 'Goodreads' site. It was given five stars accompanied by the comment "It was amazing!" I'm really pleased that this person enjoyed the book. I'll be running another f…
  • I haven't noticed this before but will be listening out for it the next time I watch.

  • I thought I heard they were filming a remake of 'The Long Good Friday'? I won't be watching. Could someone please explain why film makers feel the need to do this? All of the remakes I've seen have been poor imitations of the originals & most of…

  • It pains me greatly to say but I cannot find time to sit down & read a Bond book (well any book for that matter). I am only a Fan of IF work though - that said I still have an unread copy of Trigger Mortis sitting on the shelf which I purchased …
  • I'm a secret fan of Lew Grade films (well it's not so secret fan now). Among the dross there are a few gems though - I'm principally thinking 'Escape To Athena' & 'The Boys From Brazil'. In fact I'm going to watch the latter this evening.
