Hi - After the 60th anniversary events at the beginning of October, including the concert at the Royal Albert Hall, things have gone quiet again. We do have a review of the concert though.

If you couldn't make the concert, part of it is available to stream on on Amazon Prime Video. There's also a documentary on the Bond music also on Prime - details of the announcement are here, with links to Amazon.

So, let's find out what has happened in the world of James Bond lately.

That's all for now. We're now fully into slow news territory and until any serious progress is made on Bond 26 it's likely to stay that way. One thing about being a Bond fan in the 21st century is you need to be patient. And that's not a natural state for me to exist in.

If anything big occurs before next month's newsletter I'll let you know. Otherwise, I'll be back at the beginning of December.

See ya then!
