Hi - Most fans of James Bond have now seen No Time to Die, with just Australian fans counting down the days until they can see it on 11th November.

That's all for now. I'm looking forward to getting hold of a copy of No Time to Die to watch at home and really analyse it for drinks and locations. So that's what you can expect early next year when I've had the chance to watch it frame by frame.
