  • Oh dear. Shocked, but for some reason I half expected it! With Barbara's clash with the idiots, I don't think they were going anywhere! Worrying times indeed!

  • Yep, Valenka is in the 'Elvis camp. She has an advantage though, that she is drop dead gorgeous ( and has a stunning intro shot climbing on to the boat!) But doesn't get to do anything, except poison Bond ( and I never really liked that sequence,…

  • Elvis is rather creepy, but yes, though I adore QOS, he's a weak point in it and probably deserves last place! He's just THERE, for no apparent reason, except to be moved by Opera, and stir his coffee weirdly! He does get a spectacular death scene t…

  • I'm glad they didn't get to do a remake of Escape From New York, hard for anyone to follow Kurt Russell as Snake! The sequel was disappointing, some mad stuff in it ( the surfing scene!!) But I did like that final shot of Plissken with the match!

  • Hmm!, tricky one. I like other Spy movies, but hard to beat my favourite Bond movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service The Ipcress File- very good but not as much as Bond. Great lead character in Caines Harry Palmer Three Days of the Condor- Excelle…

  • Good to have you back @ToTheRight What a coincidence, I was going to do LALD next as a watchalong, good choice! Hope all went well on your honeymooning? 🤩

  • Nive one @CommanderRoss I still have clear memory of coming out of that Friday night showing when it premiered. Absolutely elated. Bond was Back, after being in the doldrums for so many years for me! And it still holds up amazingly well

  • 'George and Mildred' is correct, a spin off from 'Man about the house'. R.I.P. Brian Murphy, like a lot of comedy actors from that era, he ended up on 'Last of the Summer Wine' sitcom!

  • FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (1981) After my watchalong with CR '67 yesterday, I had to watch a proper Bond movie before the Bank Holiday ended. So, of course I went with Roger! EYES Only ( or 'Operation Undertow'! 😜) is quite undervalued in most polls/revi…

  • Cheers @Dwayne Yes, it has its moments, but I watched 'The Making of' Doc on the tape, and it seems if they stuck with the original idea of just having Joe McGrath direct, we may not have got the bloated mess we got!
