AND YOU’VE HAD YOUR SIX

This hotly anticipated episode sparks intense emotion and enthusiasm. Suhan is bursting with passion as he and Alan discuss how the Bond films have evolved culturally from the early 1960’s to the present day.

How should viewers react to Bond’s character and his actions? How should viewers react to the actions of the producers? Is violence and fast-paced action smothering the franchise? What will the formula of Bond be by the end of this decade? These questions and many more are mulled over.

It all began with the genius of Monty Norman, before John Barry gave the style and class. David Arnold, Thomas Newman and Hans Zimmer are now the contemporary sounds of Bond. Alan and Suhan discuss the Bond themes, scores, soundtracks and more in this uplifting and inspirational episode.

Hold onto your Oddjob bowler hats - this episode is an explosion of opinion! Suhan is on a mission to annihilate Skyfall, however Alan is hanging on by a thread of breadcrumbs to defend a classic entry in the Bond franchise. Who do you agree with?

The countdown is over. Two epic controversial statements remain, and are wholeheartedly laid on the line in this final episode of unpopular Bond opinions. They are ‘Thunderball is Bad’ and ‘Diamonds Are Forever Is The Best Connery Film’. Think it’s fair to say that Suhan failed to contain his excitement discussing the latter.

More fascinating contention and dissension produced in this penultimate episode of unpopular opinions within the world of Bond. Bravely up for discussion this time around is ‘For Your Eyes Only Is The Worst Moore Film’ and ‘A Lot Of The Films Are Bad’. Will Alan and Suhan be blinded by inconsolable rage? Or is it all a matter of perspective?

Another epic episode filled with controversy and debate. Statements discussed are ‘Quantum Of Solace Is Perfect’ and ‘Die Another Day Is Top Five’. What on Earth do Alan and Suhan conclude from these two bold claims?!

There are certainly some more compelling discussion points thrown up in this episode. It begins with ‘The World Is Not Enough Is The Best Bond Film’ and ends with a mind-boggling belter - ‘People Who Like Casino Royale Aren't Real Bond Fans’. Wow - will Alan and Suhan agree or disagree?

Some thought-provoking topics as Alan and Suhan begin an intriguing journey analysing a variety of so-called unpopular opinions surrounding Bond. The two areas of debate in this episode are ‘Roger Moore As Favourite Bond’ and ‘Pierce Brosnan's Run Is Greater Than Daniel Craig's’.

It’s time to talk Ernst Stavro Blofeld - a character synonymous with the Bond franchise. Four actors have portrayed him so far - Donald Pleasence, Telly Savalas, Charles Gray and Christoph Waltz. Not forgetting Anthony Dawson’s body and Eric Pohlmann’s voice portraying him mysteriously in From Russia With Love and Thunderball. John Hollis and Robert Rietty were also listed in the credits of For Your Eyes Only as the ‘’Bald-Headed Man with White Cat’’ as they portrayed him physically and vocally respectively.

More villains were analysed in this episode - from 1987’s Koskov and Whitaker all the way to the current ‘pending’ villain, Safin. This batch of baddies definitely provoked some interesting discussion.
