With Sam Mendes back in the director’s chair, the film sees Daniel Craig reprise his role as tuxedo-touting 007 and, as is Bond tradition nowadays, the title is under wraps for the moment – all adding to the excitement which mounts during the build up to a new outing for the smooth superspy.  

Just in the last few days, there have been reports of Daniel Craig taking skiing lessons to prepare for a major action sequence, while other sites say Cara Delevingne and Kate Upton are both on the shortlist to be the next Bond girls.

It’s all part of the fun of this behemoth franchise of Very British Films…
