Hi - There's a good chance you're living under lockdown, maybe working from home, or have been furloughed.
Maybe you're a healthcare worker or an essential worker.
Whatever your situation, I hope you, your family and your friends are all ok as the current situation caused by Covid-19 continues in much of the world.
For me life in lockdown continues although we are finally allowed onto the streets to exercise for up to an hour a day. After seven weeks it feels weird to say the least.
One of the things I've been keeping busy is with the watchalong episodes of James Bond & Friends podcast. If you haven't yet subscribed you'll find links toward the bottom of this email.
Just one thing before we move on to No Time to Die. Spring has arrived here in Spain so I'm in a t-shirt a lot of the time.
If you're looking for some 007 inspired clothing then check out our t-shirt store with worldwide shipping.
No Time to Die news
With No Time to Die locked in a vault somewhere there isn't too much to say about the film. However, because the current restrictions may be with us for some time No Time to Die could suffer a further delay.
Studio execs are apparently considering a delay until 2021 so we look at why that might be a gamble that doesn't pay off.
Another article worth reading is on MI6 HQ. Release War looks at how the situation and delves into how the numbers stack up for a video on demand release compared with a traditional theatrical release.
Articles
A new article on the website looks at the food & drink from the five short stories found in For Your Eyes Only , the eighth James Bond book by Ian Fleming.
James Bond & Friends podcast
The latest episodes of James Bond & Friends are now available on Apple Podcasts and elsewhere.
These are fun to record and the response has been hugely positive.
Over the last few weeks we've been recording watchalong episodes. You can either listen as they are or sit down and watch the same movie while listening what we have to say!

- Episode 0046: Watchalong with Die Another Day
