I came across this today which is a really nice bit of Bond statistics.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-20026367

I also watched the Sam Mendes Mark Kermode interview last night on BBC 2 which has been the most informative interview so far with Mendes.

This can be seen here http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01nmjt7/The_Culture_Show_2012_2013_Sam_Mendes_Licence_to_Thrill_A_Culture_Show_Special/

Very interesting to see more of Mendes approach and ideas around Bond.

    Dear Mattedwardsuk,
    Thanks for posting this. I'd missed it and it's by fare and away the best interview with Mendes.
    There again, it would be - Kermo is great.
    Regards,
    Bentley

    Wasn't there a fan creation (for a competition) that had a layout very similar to the BBC statistic page?!

    Any one else catch Mendes say that right from the start he saw the film as having M as the central character?

    Confirmed my suspicions. The reviews seem positive tho (apart from the Guardian), so hopefully it isn't to the detriment of the movie.

    The BBC have really been supportive of Bond 50 and of Skyfall, moreso than usual, featuring them on their Breakfast programme, news bullitens, and having special shows such as The Culuture Show, Top Gear and a special Graham Norton Show. The articles on their website have also been an intersting read.

    Recorded and kept the Mendes/Kermode program last night. Thoroughly enjoyed a good 30 min program about our new Bond director! :-bd

    I'm far too made up that P&W are signing on first thing tomorrow to even be bothered to come up with a retort!
