The reason Amazon can't get Bond up and running is because every supervillain their ai script generator comes up with is just Jeff Bezos in a variety of wigs.

IMHO the most curious TOTP performance ever is Pan's People dancing to 'Get Down' by Gilbert O'Sullivan with a load of dogs.
It's obviously hilarious, but to me it's so out there it verges into avant-garde surrealism. Put it in the Roadhouse on Twin Peaks and I'd be pondering it's allegory #TOTP
