Antony and David reflect on another busy month which included David introducing a special screening of Casino Royale and interviewing six Bond authors at Pinewood Studios for Bondstars. They also discuss the Doctor Who connections with Bond (Doctor Who is celebrating its 60th anniversary), Halloween-related articles on the LTQ website, the Roger Moore auction and David receiving a very special item that once belonged to Roger Moore.

Check out Licence to Queer’s interviews with Bond authors Raymond Benson, Kim Sherwood and Charlie Higson. Each is available as a video and a podcast.

Daniel Craig’s debut allowed more people than ever before to not only see themselves as James Bond, but also want to be part of his world. A panel of (00)7 huge fans - including LTQ’s own David Lowbridge-Ellis - discussed the continual reinvention of Bond ahead of a very special screening.

The Living Daylights may be Timothy Dalton’s picture, but it is Kara Milovy’s story, writes Craig Gent. In this love letter to one of the most underestimated Bond girls in the franchise, Craig writes that far from being naïve, she has nothing to declare… “except for cello!”

Licence to Queer's David Lowbridge-Ellis joins the James Bond Cocktail Hour podcast to discuss what could have been Timothy Dalton's film as 007. On the basis of this script, it could have had a drastically different tone!

Boys with toys! Although he’s been made into a doll repeatedly, James Bond is more than a mere action figure. Patriarchy can be harmful to men as well as women and Bond has helped many boys navigate a society where being on the receiving end of violence or dealing it out oneself is often seen a rite of passage. Having had his own childhood memories triggered by watching - of all things - the Barbie movie, Craig Gent explores what else Bond can teach us about being a man in the real world.

Benson’s Bond books updated 007’s world for their period and were even ahead of their time in key ways. On the eve of the re-release of Zero Minus Ten, Raymond and I chat in detail about not just Bond but also other mutual passions, including Hitchcock, Hong Kong cinema and listening to The Beatles without earmuffs.

SPECTRE may have stolen two nuclear bombs but stealing their thunder (and the audience’s attention) is Bond being roughly manhandled (and womanhandled) up and down the gender spectrum. Gender is more fluid than ever in this most aquatic of adventures and the 'fairer sex', sick of having less, are giving at least as good as they get.

Paul Baker is the author of the bestselling book 'CAMP! The Story of the Attitude that Conquered the World'. Not only is it fabulously funny but it also successfully captures what camp is all about (not a mean feat!) using plenty o’ examples. There's only one problem: there's no way Paul could include everyone's favourite examples and one of the most camp things of all time - James Bond - didn't make it into the book. David and Paul meet to put Bond under the camp spotlight.

The Spy Who Loved Me is one of the most balanced Bond films, with a finely calibrated blend of all we love about Bond. But the film we ended up with went through dozens of iterations, many containing thoroughly unhinged ideas. Tom Mason and David Lowbridge-Ellis have read every screen treatment and script they can get their hands on - two years' worth! - and are now ready to share what they've found. Batten down the hatches for seal sex, crash zooms, a villain called Kronk, Anya's brother-lover, testicular torture and a very temperamental Lotus Esprit…

Kim Sherwood’s novel promised to blow the world of Bond wide open and it more than delivered. Here’s where you can find Licence to Queer’s extensive coverage all in one place, including our review, a detailed discussion with Kim herself, an article about the book’s queer representation, a cocktail recipe and more.
