The BBC interviewed me -- and three time Bond screenwriter Bruce Feirstein -- about the search for the next 007. Delighted to be part of the conversation.

@monstroso The world is suddenly a slightly better place. Thrilled by this news.

@MuseZack Wow, love your observation about the Sheridan shows. Spot on. Can you do the same & provide your 10,000-foot view of how Gough & Millar and Berlanti & Guggenheim cracked their code(s). Some combo of focusing on relationships, character development, & enough spectacle per episode?

@DoubleODispatch @BKuriawa @Arthurianism I hope you love it. Or, at least think it's "good enough." Please thank your thoughtful benefactor for me.

@BKuriawa @DoubleODispatch @Arthurianism Thanks for the shout out!

For the illustrated Bond fans: Ian Fleming’s James Bond Signature Comic Strip Collection hit shelves on September 8. Titan Comics' new release features the first 7 comic-strips. With gallery of John McLusky's original artwork. https://t.co/YblbT45kgf and https://t.co/dHBNamoZpx

@DoubleODispatch This was apparently done with Eon's permission. The performance is clearly not as important as the cinematic Bond actors. But he was hired, played the part, and it aired. For viewers of a certain age, he was the voice of Bond. So, I count it.

[MarkEdlitz @MarkEdlitz]

@DoubleODispatch It's bonkers. But, that means -- in the voice over -- there was another actor "officially" playing Bond. In one of my books, I list dozens of actors who have played 007 across all media. As absurdly as it is, this entry tickles me.

@scrabo @televisiondavid @50YearsAgoLive Hey Paul. It is generally thought that Alexander Scourby did the narration, in character as Bond.

[MarkEdlitz @MarkEdlitz]

@DoubleODispatch @50YearsAgoLive You are correct, it doesn't make any sense. They wanted to broadcast the movie over two nights and they came up with a crazy scheme to pad the running time. This way, they could include more commercials.

@just00fanatic This is not an authentic news story. The article quotes "industry insiders." It seems to be cobbling together older generic quotes and framing it as new information.

[MarkEdlitz @MarkEdlitz]

@TheCyberdevil Spectacular news. Great books.

[MarkEdlitz @MarkEdlitz]

@tbw24431703 @RadioTimes Yup! Good news indeed.

[MarkEdlitz @MarkEdlitz]

@FameWeaverHQ @RadioTimes These are based on Charlie Higson's excellent books.
