  The music is great, but what working men's club did they find the singers in?

  
  
  Just saw ur post - I just stumbles across this and poste in Music section.
  
  Music is great but 2 people can't cover 15 or so different artistes, even though they are trying their best.
  
  Would've enjoyed an instrumental concert.
  
  They're doing DAD now.

  Car crash, I've turned it off.
  
  They should have used a variety of singers, not just these 2.

  I've seen this concert live twice....the first time was about 5 years ago - at least - in Liverpool...then again in Manchester...it's always been the same female singer but different male singers....the first gig had two male singers...there was also quite alot of instrumental music played....I sat about four feet away from Honor...

  Anyone else notice all the mistakes?
  They put The Living Daylights as 2003!
  I'm sure they some of the lyrics were wrong too.
  Also I thought it was odd that they included Casino Royale (1967)
  and Never Say Never again yet skipped YOLT, Octopussy and TND.
  To quote Alan Partridge, "Stop getting Bond wrong!".

  Loads of mistakes, they got Moores film orders wrong saying For Your Eyes Only was his last too and played A View To A Kill before Moonraker; not sure whether it was intentional because perhaps they thought certain songs would run better side by side but some of Blackmans quotations about the chronology of the films was just straight up wrong. However stuff like that doesn't really bother me too and over all it was a good watch!

  Now, they only eat rat.
