Following the news that Stephen Knight has now been selected to write the next Bond film, my project for the next few days is to catch up with Peaky Blinders. I know it’s now quite a well established BBC franchise, but until now I’ve never got into it. I know absolutely nothing about it, other than that it involves guys wearing flat caps. However, having just watched this clip of some nuns being told what for, I suddenly suspect it is something I could really get into. Who knows – it might even be that new obsession I’ve spent so long looking for.

As for James Bond itself, as I’ve said before, after Daniel Craig, the expectation and eagerness for the next film will be greater than ever. Craig’s Bond films were such a critical success that they left a vacuum which will only get deeper the longer we have to wait. Whoever is selected to write it, direct it or act in it, I really don’t envy them their task.
