The first thing to mention is the special offer pricing on MI6 Confidential. Sign up for the complete 2017 season of five issues and pay for just four plus delivery.
The magazine covers all aspects of 007 and is in full colour, a must have for any serious fan of James Bond.
So, on to news about James Bond. What's been happening?
Well, not very much. Congratulations to Naomie Harris, who has been recognised in the New Year Honours List with an OBE for services to drama.
Regarding Bond 25, we still have nothing but speculation from much of the media regarding whether or not Daniel Craig will return and when the film will be released.
After a very quiet year from Eon Productions it would be good to get something that approaches an official announcement of some kind. Watch this space because as soon as there is anything I'll let you know.
OK, that's all for now. See you next month, but if you want to get in contact before then you can shoot me an email at this address.
Speak soon!
