Licence to Kill
Saturday, september 2nd, at 00.35 CET on ZDF (Germany) :
Man Lebt Nur Zweimal (YOLT)
"Lulu has no high-falutin’ ideas about what she might find in her family tree: “I’m not waiting to find out I’m really a princess. I know!” she says. What she doesn’t know is why her mother Elizabeth – the middle child of seven – was singled out by her parents to be raised by another family, the McDonalds.
Her researches into her maternal grandparents – Helen Kennedy and Hugh Cairns - in Glasgow reveal they had a tough life. She died at a scandalously young age while it seems he was a drunk, often out of work but just as often in prison and, like so many young Glaswegian men, a member of a violent gang. But it was the fact that he was a Catholic while she was a Protestant that caused tension between their families: “But they couldn’t keep them apart,” says Lulu of this Romeo and Juliet story, although she concedes that “he made choices that weren’t smart … and she married a wrong ’un”.
SUMMARY
Lulu has always wanted to get to the bottom of a family mystery. She knows that her mother, the middle child of seven, was the only one to be given up by her birth parents and raised by another family. But she has no idea why. Travelling home to Glasgow, she uncovers the real-life Romeo and Juliet story of her Catholic grandfather and Protestant grandmother's love affair across the city's strict sectarian divide. But as she digs deeper, she discovers dark secrets that force her to reassess her mum's story."
Hum, interesting.

DiamantenFieber (DAF)
That's a great title! And it just about scans to the theme song. Di-a-man-ten Fieber, ten Fieber, ten Fieber.
Les Diamants Sont Éternels (DAF
Tuer n'est pas Jouer (TLD)
And the first movie will be Goldeneye, which will screen from 22.15 CET on monday, November 27th. Will follow, on December 4th, at 22.15 CET, Der Morgen Stirbt Nie (TND), and on December 11th, at 22.15 CET, Die Welt is nicht Genug (TWINE).
If it was going to premiere this year I would have thought it would have been on Xmas Eve/Xmas Day or Boxing Day,but its been shoved to the New Year.
As you say,Royale,times are-a-changin' alas.
Personally I haven't watched an ITV premiere since DAD.
EDIT : It's might be a disaster.
It's on from 8pm - 10:45,pre-watershed,so Hinx killing the SP agent will be cut for sure.
At least most of the film will be there with a 2hr 45m running time (ads in there as well though of course.
I don't think I've ever watched a Bond film on ITV where they didn't cut something out, they just like to butcher them.
