Skyfall

In the 10-minute video above, I give a very personal insight into why this is my favourite Daniel Craig 007 film, from my connections to the locations, to my take on the characters, and where I was at each point in my life when Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012), SPECTRE (2015), and No Time to Die (2021) released.

Often, our love of a particular film is like a Rorschach test, revealing more about ourselves than the item in question. Join me, for just ten minutes, as I look at the last 20 years of James Bond on screen... and the last 20 years of my life!

In the below DEEP DIVE podcast episode, I look at what makes this such a ‘British’ movie, not reviewing it, but talking about some of the themes and iconography.

Skyfall has some great London locations, and some you can see in the video (the Barbican, the secret underground MI6 base) I found thanks to Pete Brooker’s London Bond Map.

I’ve bought mine, and when I go to a 007-themed event in London, I get various people I follow online to sign it, making it both a useful guide and a great souvenir.
