As I am still recovering from my holiday bug and feeling better but wiped out, I have had a bit of a TV Fest this weekend and been catching up with some recorded programmes. Last night watched another 'list' show [which I usually give a miss]James Bond's Greatest Hits.
It wasn't bad and included interviews with Don Black, Hal David and Mr John Barry. Was dissapointed that my all time fave, You Only Live Twice was way down the list and very surprised that Thurderball wavered at the bottom also.
I did predict Goldfinger would be top of the list, and I was right!
Best bit was Rita Coolidge saying [tongue in cheek] that 'once you are a Bond girl/singer you are special'.
By the way - have ssen Casinbo Royale and though it was the perfect Bond for 2006 but it has the most unforgettable song by Chris Cornell but a good score by David Arnold. You know you are in re-structured and updated territory when Bond orders a martini and is asked if he wanted it shaken or stirred and he replies; 'do I look like I give a damn!'
