😂 Thanks a million for the shout out Mr H, my mams face was a picture. Congratulations on achieving being binged! Tom, you are a creative genius. Loving the series, it's incredibly informative, insightful and entertaining as always. #traceybond #MissM
Hi Tracey. Send our love to your mam. Her message made my day. Thanks so much for your comments. It’s ace to hear that folks are enjoying the show! - Tom.
I enjoyed your thoughts on DAF. I saw it at the cinema when I was 10. I went with my cousin and we got in for free as the manager lived next door to my cousin. We enjoyed it so much that we stayed and watched it a second time. A couple of moments you didn't mention...the elephant playing the slot machine and the girl transforming into a gorilla. Kidd and Wint are great, with Mr Kidd particularly unsettling imo. I still have a soft spot for the film, though I understand it isn't too well thought of today. Tiffany would have been a better character if she had kept her sass. Agree completely that the cremation scene was quite scary for kids.
Thanks for watching and getting in touch. Now that you mention it, I can’t believe that we didn’t talk about the two maddest moments in the movie! We will need to address this in the next Feedback Corner.
DAF was the first James Bond film I saw at the cinema when it first came out in 1972 in the U.K., the others before that I saw in various double bills that did the rounds. DAF has always had a place in my heart watching it as a 9 year old, it is funny, fun, brash, exciting stunts, I had the corgi moon buggy as kid, bought it again as an adult. Love this film. You should add Film Poster to your scoring, it’s a cool poster. Great job on your reviews, love the banter. All the best Rob
Dear Willy Wakeman and Cool J, I actually didn't remember this film. I wondered if it was because I adore the theme song so much. Cool J is right, it is a classic but it also happens to be my favourite Bond song. I love everything about it, the composition, the strings, wonderfully delivered by our Shirl. After watching it last night, I realised I may not have remembered it because it's just not very good. 😂 It may be more fitting for the Austin Powers franchise than Bond. But there are highlights, all of which you've talked about apart from that gorgeous Triumph Bond drives in Dover. Have to say that I laughed more watching your review than I did watching the film last night. Side note: I've already said that I'm a Bond and SCI-FI fan however, my first love is music. OPP by Naughty by Nature being mentioned in your show, brought my funk filled heart so much joy. "ARM ME WITH HARMONY". ONP. ♡
Thanks again ONP. Although, James has favoured way better than me with your nicknames. I’m not sure that I can allow this to continue. He isn’t cool. He’s down the allotment as we speak and he’ll be looking at old train timetables for a laugh later. That said, we remain grateful for your continued support and feedback.
@@LuxuryTediumHave no fear! The nicknames were for this episode only, as a tribute to the comments made by other viewers as mentioned in 'Feedback Corner'. Although I respectfully disagree on one point. As someone who has zero ability to grow anything, I think James is cool for being able to grow fruit & veg. If it turns out that he only goes to the allotment to read train timetables, I'll happily retract my previous statement. 😁
And like Wakeman, he has a curry brought in during half time. If you gave over 25 episodes to Flash Gordon, you could focus on each 4 minutes, 33 seconds and 14 frames at a time, for some really in-depth analysis. So we get Wig Watch on the last applicable episode? Just like Charles Gray, it would be fitting to recycle it for the Moore era- Wood Watch -for his more, how can we say...lumber moments of acting. Connery is in his awkward phase here, because he definitely gets hotter again once he goes snow white.
Lots to consider from this comment. I’ll run your Flash Gordon idea by James as I think it’s brilliant. Not so sure on Wood Watch. That could have some other connotations, but again, let’s not rule it out.

Love your humour, Bond should always be fun reviewing and not deadly serious

Thanks for getting in touch, Rob. Glad to hear you’re enjoying the show. Must’ve been fantastic seeing these films on the big screen.
