  • Thanks for the update @peter - I was not aware of that. Hopefully his Running Man is better than Wiseman's Total Recall (which ironically, I have Zero Recall of). I am in the minority of those who enjoyed Baby Driver, so I’d be interested in seeing …
  • My comment regarding Egerton reflects my preference for a return to something like TSWLM for Bond 26 and the next era. I would prefer a return to a lighter tone and a preference to leave the cinema punching the air, rather than scratching my head. T…

  • I am sure that reference (from the April article) to Egerton being ‘favourite’ is baseless (coming from an interview with a gambling site) but it allows my dream to Live Another Day. He remains my number one choice for the role.
