“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

The next film should open with Bond waking up in Bob Newhart’s apartment. He walks into the living room to find a nonverbal child staring at a snow globe.
