And just worth pointing out that Robin Hood’s death is a central part of the legend and that doesn’t cause any problem in making new films…

Yes - in some ways that was the biggest continuity error; though forgivable.

My postmodern take: the final lines of ‘No Time to Die’ are “Mathilde, I'm going to tell you a story about a man. His name was Bond, James Bond" and that all of the early films are *those* stories as they become legends.

Plus we’ve accepted that a man who served in military intelligence in WW2 is still out and about saving the world….

While Moore, Dalton and Brosnan were all the same man whose wife had been killed by Blofeld; Craig’s Bond exists on a totally different timeline. It’s all fine.

Precisely.

Currently playing, 08.45 GMT , on BBC R3

Thank you!

A good plug and play by Tom McKinney of Avril Coleridge Taylor's 'In Memoriam for the RAF'.

Moving performance, fine oboe solo bit. I look forward to the release of the whole album next week.

Meanwhile, will relisten on BBC 'Play it again, Sam' (aka BBC Sounds).

(And no I’m not joking; this is usually how the question is phrased in diversity questionnaires)

Mostly simple:
Landed Wealth (upper)
White Collar (middle)
Blue Collar (working) BUT (and here’s the rub) your class is determined by which group your *parents* were in when you were 14….

“The amount of women in London who flirt with their own husbands is perfectly scandalous. It looks so bad. It is simply washing one's clean linen in public." (Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest)

Something something… vinegar on chips if you’re South of the Watford gap … something… university degree….something… peas with a fork ….

Am going to attempt next Wednesday…

Ah that’s so lovely! I was the worst for dismissing this music, but partly that happens because it’s so beautifully crafted that you don’t notice!
