  • Never thought that Boyle was a good fit for Bond, but these constant delays between films are really trying my patience. I'm not getting any younger EON! They really need to get their shit together, and no more than 2 years gap for Bond26 please.

  • For me it's a no. Not a black Bond (the only choice for many) or an Asian Bond or Hispanic/Latino whatever ethnic background you care to mention Bond. I think if a black Bond was cast it would only be to pander to a certain section of society (proba…

  • Gateway (1976) by Frederik Pohl. Golancz SF Masterworks. A Hugo and Nebula award-winner so hoping for a good read, only about 40 pages in but so far so good. Read the author's previous book Man Plus which was okay but hoping for better things with G…
  • Detective Bureau 2-3: Go To Hell Bastards! (1963) dir. Seijun Suzuki. Starring Jo Shishido. Arrow Video blu-ray. Not seen this, but Seijun Suzuki directing Jo Shishido what could go wrong? And what a brilliant title!

  • Overlord: D-Day and the Battle for Normandy 1944 by Max Hastings. Originally published in 1984 this is a recent hardback re-release which only cost me £4 at WHSmith (cover prices £25) so I had to get it! So far so good, but I think I prefer Anthony…

  • Arnhem by Antony Beevor. Probably my second favourite WW2 historian writing today (1st being James Holland) turns his eye to the disaster that was 'a bridge too far'.
  • Forever And A Day by Anthony Horowitz. Really enjoying this, about half-way through. Horowitz really gets Bond and Fleming, as far as I'm concerned, and writes great continuation novels. Let's hope IFE asks him to do another.
