i think the thing about this is it is one of the bond movies that s actually about bond. it s not about the villain, it is about him, in the same way that on her majesty s secret service is about him and, in fact, in the same way that the timothy dalton movies are about him. i really like it. it has proved quite divisive. the people there are some people i know who really don t like it because they think that it breaks bond rules. ah! but i like that about it. did you find yourself swept up in it? for the most part, yes and the thing i liked the most was that there were a few flashes of humour. i love that. yeah, yeah. i don t i want my bond to say something a little bit caustic or say something with a bit of glint in his eye. 0k. so, you want sean connery, roger moore? roger moore, yeah, i m afraid. 0k. i know people won t all agree with that, but. well, i think this isn t a roger moore bond but there is something with the gadget stuff. there is a few flashes i laughed a coupl
you ve now seen it. yes, we had a good time. we had a good time. no plot spoilers, but we enjoyed it. 0k. the two other members of my party thought it wasn t a vintage villain. that was their observation, as people who are steeped in vintage bond. one thing i think about this is there is an old myth that bond movies are only as good as their villain, and that s not true. it is one of the movies that s actually about bond, not about the villain. it is about him. in the same way on her majesty s secret service is about him and the dalton movies are about him. i really like it. it has proved quite divisive. some people thinks it breaks bond rules, but i like that about it. did you find yourself swept up? for the most part, yes, and there were a few flashes of humour. i love that. i want my bond to say something a little bit caustic with a glint in his eye. so, you want sean connery, roger moore?

which is a dark musical comedy. and. i almost feel nervous for the producers of bond. there just feels like there s so much, so much riding on this for british cinema. it s been such a long wait, you know, 18 months. so the first thing to say is i know you haven t seen it yet, many people will be seeing it this weekend. so let s not discuss plot at all, 0k? let s just say that after it having been delayed for so long, obviously people have got huge expectations. and i actually thought it was pretty good and better than i expected. it has the seriousness of on her majesty s secret service, it has the grittiness that we ve come to know from daniel craig back to casino royale. but it also has the globe trotting scenery, it has the action set pieces and it has gadgets. cast includes ben whishaw as q, lashana lynch as a new 00 agent. here is a clip. your watch.
and he s made that roll his own, he s done a really brilliant job of that. so, it has thejokes, 0k? it has the action set pieces, it has lea seydoux who is absolutely terrific. more importantly, it has consequences. i mean, i ve always said that the characters are only ever as interesting is what they have to lose. if a character has nothing to lose, there is no drama. and i think what this does a very good job of is balancing the stuff that you want from a bond movies. so, you know, the set pieces, the action set pieces, the scenery all that stuff. but also with a genuine sense of personaljeopardy that is at the heart of all really good dramas. i mean, yes, there are nods to dr no and you only live twice. you hear a queue that casts you back to on her majesty s secret service very early on. and what you get is this kind of sense that it s notjust surface, there is something more important happening underneath. i mean obviously part of me s watching it thinking, i wonder what danny b
