After the bloodthirsty seriousness of Casino Royale, the producers of James Bond’s next instalment (tentatively titled Risico), want to dumb things down a bit with some puerile gags and bears riding unicycles. Can’t wait.
There were three funny scenes in Casino Royale: 1) James Bond in children's swimming trunks, 2) James Bond getting his balls slapped by a paperweight and 3) James Bond recovering in a convalescent home wearing trackie bottoms and a baggy sweater. Not since the terry-towelling adventures of Sean Connery in Goldfinger has Mr Bond been made to look so ridiculous.
What next for Bond 22? Bond in even tinier swimming trunks? Bond in tie-dye? Bond in a nappy?
Perhaps all three if Daniel ‘crap, I'm the new Roger Moore’ Craig is unlucky enough.
