42:30
Yeah.
42:32
There's no one else who can do it.
42:34
You'll do it because if you don't, millions of people will die.
42:37
And if that's not good enough reason, you know, and again, just that straight talking, it's got to be done.
42:43
There is no choice.
42:44
I'm not going to pretty it up for you.
42:46
I'm not going to promise you anything I can't deliver.

18 MINS LATER

60:28
What was your choice and why?
39:34
Mm
39:35
... coming out of retirement, you know, whatever it, whatever it might be.
39:39
If, you know ...
39:40
I think one of the potential benefits of Amazon now taking over control and, or Pascal and Heyman taking over control from the Broccolis is, as much as some franchises or properties have, have spinoffs to a, a ridiculous degree, I wonder if there's now an opportunity for a little bit more of that.
40:02
So while the, the films will carry on as they are, we'll get the Bond theatrical movies, and they'll have their, their timeline or continuity, I think there's a potential maybe for, you know, kind of a miniseries here or there, or a one-off special here or there to explore some of those kind of things.

7 MINS LATER

47:10
Yeah
47:10
... uh, strangely enough.
47:11
And also The Nastycast, where we talk about, uh, video nasties and other controversial films.
10:38
It only lasted one season.
10:40
I guess Chernobyl was one season.
10:42
That was a really good show.

11 MINS LATER

21:32
It's Kitchen Confidential.
21:34
I mean, it's something I watched recently that I really enjoyed with the other Bennett sister.
21:38
And that is just one season.
21:40
But that's because it's adapted from a book.
21:42
I think a lot of the times when TV series are one season, it's because they are literally adapting a book or they're adapting a story.
12:13
It's a bit of a bonkers opening, I think, this, really.
12:17
I think it's maybe... a little for the casual viewer maybe a bit off-putting as well like they're there for the action and the adventure and the you know the amazing locations and the pretty girls and the smooth one-liners and the quips and what what the hell am i watching um I mean, I like it.
12:38
It's quite clever.
12:39
I like the funeral procession through the, you know, where the guy gets assassinated and they just come over and pick him up in the coffin.
12:48
I like that.
12:48
But yeah, he's very different.
12:51
And I think if you were kind of coming to it as maybe a casual viewer, you might just be a bit cut off, maybe? Possibly.
16:06
And it's all about introducing Scaramanga and Knickknack and establishing the bloody strange setup they've got on this island, for one thing.
10:09
right finally then mark you're coming last in this round and it is contrast oneself with this robot assassin
10:20
uh so i think this is uh raston from the end of contrast and the beginning of oneself it's the raston warrior robot from the five doctors

34 MINS LATER

44:52
There's a huge clue in the question there.
44:56
So it's Peter Capaldi that we're on to, isn't it? I think it's the speech from the Zygon inversion, I think.
45:06
And instead of Melanie, Zygella.
45:12
So exchange Melanie for Zygella.
45:14
Oh,
9:47
Yeah
9:47
...
9:47
I think that was one of the best, one of my favorites from the series, I think.
9:50
That one was really well done.

9 MINS LATER

18:50
I quite liked it, but like I say, Six left me in such a kind of a mm kind of vibe that anything was gonna be better than the, the back part of Six for me.
19:00
Okay, fair enough then, yeah.
19:01
Um, Ashley, what are your thoughts?
