8 h. ago How do you celebrate James Bond Day when you don’t know who the next 007 will be?

All things Bond will be commemorated on 5 October. But while the new movie has a director and writer attached, we’re still none the wiser as to who will play the super-spyIt’s James Bond Day this Sunday, if you didn’t know – 5 October is now a celebration of all things 007, thanks to this being the date of the world premiere of Dr No, the very first Bond film, starring Sean Connery, in 1962. Imagine it as a bit like Star Wars Day, with fewer Wookiees and Ewoks and a whole lot more tuxedoed swagger.This year though, the advent of JBD (as no one has ever called it) is bit of a damp squib. It hasn’t been that long since Denis Villeneuve was announced as the director of the next Bond film (June, in fact) and even less time since Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight was hired to write the script. But there’s been little to no sign since then of the new 007 actually being revealed, and even less sense of where this venerable franchise is going next. All we have are whisperings on the wind via th...

8 d. ago House of Guinness review – James Norton’s pheromones positively sizzle off the screen

With smarts, heart and serious sex appeal, this fine drama from Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight is an irresistible romp – like Succession, only over a booze empire. Knight has never made a better show than thisYou may judge a show’s success by the number of imitators that follow: to see how much TV commissioners envied the popularity of Slow Horses, look at the recent uptick in wry dramas about spies and/or shambling outcasts who work in a grotty basement but get the job done. Another show with that status is Peaky Blinders, writer Steven Knight’s swaggering epic about a (real) Birmingham crime gang between the wars.What’s unusual about the post-Blinders shows is that the author of the towering original has tended to write the pretenders to the throne himself: Knight sought to develop the formula earlier this year with A Thousand Blows, a series about a different historical crime gang, and with his new Netflix show House of Guinness, he seems to be mining the same seam. The family her...
