Thank you for posting, Barbel, that was interesting and very valid points raised.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

I spent last weekend with Anthony as he was a guest at my event. He’s such a lovely down to earth fella. Sadly he won’t be doing any more Bond books though. No Sherlock either.

I think that IFP were quite lucky to get Anthony Horowitz to do three Bond novels as he's a very prolific and in demand writer. I believe he said he'd only write a Bond novel within Fleming's timeline so as he's slotted ones into the beginning, the middle and the end of Fleming's novels he must feel that his work is done.

Pretty much, yes. Although Ray Winstone cancelled at the last minute due to work commitments. Which was lucky as the logistics would have been a nightmare had he turned up.

That's a shame, but thanks Asp9mm.

That is a shame…his Sherlock novels were excellent too 🍸
Is that your friend Higgins with him in the first pic, @Asp9mm? He's improved since I last saw him
I don't remember mentioning it this week, but I have an autographed copy of his second one.
He likes to be referred to as Higginess now.
Of course, I forgot.
Yea, but signing it yourself doesn’t actually count 🤭
😡😡😡
I saw that was happening- it looked very impressive: you got pretty much everyone involved with the series there.
