"Why do I support political violence? Why the fuck are you a Volunteer Nazi Safety Advocate, is MY question."

I think I'd be interested in a period Bond thing not for faithfulness to the books necessarily for exactly the reasons you've given, just more that I'm curious to see what a 1950s sent Cold War action film with Bond would be like made with modern sensibilities.

They've captured his soulless empty eyesockets well.

Windows phone was really, really good. I only used it for a year or so but it might still be the best mobile OS I've ever used.

I'm not saying I'm a transparently open book but I can't imagine it would surprise anyone to hear I really like this episode.

It's hilarious how true this is. They do so much filming at Caerffili Castle, right in the middle of my home town, and at the Folk Museum in St Fagans, which was the destination for practically every school trip for every school within a 50 mile radius.

Flash fact, they filmed this at Dyffryn Gardens in the Vale of Glamorgan and this is the exact spot where I got married.

I sure hope the Bezos era doesn't mean Bond starts looking out for the interests of ultra-wealthy racist white supremacists, like *checks notes* the Royal Family.

Certainly wouldn't bet against Cavill at this point.

Love their ability to link everything to being mildly inconvenienced while driving

Anyway, I used to find the song oddly compulsive because of all of this, clearly not a great song but also just weird and creepy from my perspective. Imagine the sheer, deflating disappointment when I found out what the song was actually about.

And the main line that spun me up was "and from this world/you sent my girl." In the actual context it's just talking about the world sending the girl to the singer. But I though it was Mr Moonlight SENDING the girl OUT of the world. Like, where the fuck did he teleport her to.

It becomes INCREDIBLY sinister if you think Mr Moonlight is a pale grinning figure who, "...came to me one summer night/
And from your beam, you made my dream." Pennywise the clown in song form. "Every night you don't come my way/
I pray and pray more each day."

Why's it on my list of non-creepy things that creeped me out? Because when I was a kid I didn't know it was a metaphor for actual moonlight. I thought it was about *a sinister, bizarre, midnight figure literally called Mr Moonlight.*

There's a Hammond solo he does that is just the absolute worst granny-music, end-of-the-pier Blackpool illuminations organ music you ever heard. It's so bad some people argue they meant the song as a joke, which to be honest I don't believe, I think it's just a lapse in their usually decent taste.

It always turns up in, like, the top ten worst Beatles recordings. Which I don't think is quite fair, the harmonies are ace and the intro really is arresting, and early version of a John Lennon heart-rending wail. But it's known for probably the worst instrumentation Paul McCartney's ever done.

The song itself is the blandest love long imaginable, full of imagery already cliched in the sixties, of falling in love by moonlight. It's the singer thanking the moon for illuminating his love when he first met her. The Beatles put it on Beatles For Sale, my favourite album when I was a kid.

It's a particularly cheesy American R&B number that several 60s beat bands did versions of. It was pretty popular live because it starts completely acapella, with the singer wailing "Misterrrrr Moonlight!" and if you completely stacked it, it sounded awful, but got attention if you nailed it.

What UHF frequency is it on? How far do I have to turn the dial?

If it isn't immediately cancelled I hope they bring back the tradition of doing the odd supernatural story.
