Event Diary | Charlie Higson Stole My Seat
Recordings from last night's Q&A with Bond author Charlie Higson, followed by a screening of On Her Majesty's Secret Service.  It starts with the bus ride to Shepherd's Bush where I bump into an old friend Aubrey Charles. We discuss his favourite Bond film and Madonna.  Next I speak to Neil Thomas, Rob Smith, Ajay Chowdhury and James Davies as we queue to get our books signed by Charlie.  Afterwards Rob Smith and I chat a little more about the screening, how Charlie Higson stole my seat and the optimum moments in OHMSS to go to the toilet. As we wait for the train back to Shepherd's Bush we are joined by Monica Germanà author of Bond Girls Body, Fashion and Gender.  Footage of the Q&A is being uploaded to the YouTube channel as I write this.  Keep up with all the weekly Bond content on the Newsletter.

Around the Block - Falling Out of Love with Bond
Hello everyone.  Thought I'd share some further thoughts on Road to a Million and the concept of Reality TV whilst out walking Roger. I also share my reasoning why I've fallen a bit out of love with Bond for the time being.  The audio is a bit windswept apologies, will get the lapel mic out next time and see if that's any better.  I touch also on Bond Fitness and what Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mark Wahlberg have to say about their routines and NY resolutions.  I plug the weekly newsletter where you can find all your Bond content with a very Roger tongue-in-cheek approach.  https://fromtailorswithlove.co.uk/newsletter Thanks to all that have subscribed and take time to reply and give the positive feedback.

The Price of Dressing Like Bond - #252
This week I'm thinking on what tips would I give on being a Gentleman. Not that I consider myself one, but we all try to better ourselves don't we?  I also touch on some 'negative' comments I've had on the video I posted about the Sir Roger Moore Auction which will be live in October at Bonhams.  Then lastly in the NEWS, I take a look at the Screen Rant article about Bond being the most expensively dressed character in movie history.  PLUGS Don't forget Q the Music Show tickets are still available for October 15th through their Instagram channel.  For the Mission Impossible Sunglasses I mentioned pls contact Z on his channel for more info.  From Tailors With Love is not represented, endorsed, sponsored or supported by EON, MGM, Danjaq or any other 3rd party.
