I also Sky+'d the John Barry interview that was shown first, but repeated after the archival documentary.
Don't know who wrote Honour's commentary but there are some rather dubious moments.
Firstly she states that OHMSS was a failure with not even a mention of George and then seems to suggest that the reason Brozza relinquished the role was due to injuries from - get this - doing all his own stunts?
Presume everyone wanted a nice feel good evening so we are being treated to an airbrushed version of history. I'm assuming Nikki van Der Zyls invite got lost in the post!
"OHMSS a forgettable film with an unforgettable song" was what the script said.
FYEO is "Rogers finest Bond film.." so the script got that right.
Nope FYEO is.
Nope, TSWLM is.
Maybe she was joking about the forgetability of OHMSS? Or it was sarcasm?
I think George's name should have been mentioned especially as they used the music from his film. What harm would it do?
Especially considering NSNA somehow made the cut!!
And what about Surrender?
NSNA made the cut?? What the hell?
Did Madonna's DAD feature too?
Yes, as an orchestral. I was pretty decent, too.
I thought it was great. Their version of Another Way to Die was also quite good, as was Skyfall. She had better diction than Adele.
Much to my surprise, it was...

Another Way To Die was my highlight, love the song anyway but seeing the arrangement was kind of special. It has that great 70's revenge flick dirtiness about it.
I have now ripped the audio from my soundcard and committed to CD. :-)
preferred the Friday night is music night: Bond and beyond with Kermode and Mayo which aired back in September.
This please :) I'd really love to see it
She reminded me of a poundland Cilla Black.
:D
Nope, LALD is.
The concert was obviously really great and the arrangements of 2 songs found on youtube are very very well made.
Thank you in advance for your effort!
Well worth a listen and makes me feel good about the licence fee repayment looming next month.
As I've said elsewhere Never Say Never Again isn't the most thrilling of songs but put it this way, it has more key changes than You Know My Name and the lyrics are really quite interesting: you can't say that about A View to a Kill.
I heartily agree with you on the twang. I'm not an Arnold hater like some but it does irk me that the twang seems to have been lost forever.
If you google, you may find it!
BBC4 did not transmit the entire concert and after the Skyfall theme, whereas the tv broadcast finishes there was actually an encore that consisted of both You Only Live Twice and Surrender which brought the house down. The audience gave it a standing ovation and well deserved.
Honor Blackman introduced Surrender by saying that most cinemagoers may not have heard this originally at the end of the film as they most probably were in a rust to exit the cinema as soon as the end titles started and that they had missed one of the best Bond songs. It was fantastic for Surrender to finally get the recognition it deserves.
The theme for OHMSS was played just before We Have All the Time in the World and the only theme that was not played was Sheryl Crows Tomorrow Never Dies.
