Our Month in Bond - May 2023

Licence To Queer

What a busy month in Bond! As well as May Day (honouring Grace Jones of course) there were two other bank holidays, one of which was for the King's coronation, which inspired the plot of the newest Bond book, On His Majesty's Secret Service. David chatted with Charlie Higson himself about it, both at the official London launch and on the LTQ podcast. David also co-hosted with Kim Sherwood a celebration of 70 years of the literary Bond, which was so successful that they are teaming up again soon (22nd July). David and Antony raised more than £1000 for UNICEF with Donate Another Day, which went quite a long way towards rehabilitating Die Another Day in the eyes of many who participated. Antony and David also found time to see a couple of Bond-related films at the cinema (Fast X, The Little Mermaid) and Antony read Fleming's Moonraker for the very first time, much to David's excitement. Finally, Antony and David look forward to the live streaming broadcast of Tazarauka Revue's 'Casino Royale - My Name is Bond' on 11th June, which they will be doing as a watchalong.
