Book Presentation:
Who gives the hammiest performance in a Bond film?
What is the series’ most cringeworthy moment?
What quips would Sir Roger Moore come out with if he starred in Licence to Kill?
These are the sort of questions you never knew you needed answering.
It’s Bond, James Bond –but as you’ve never seen him before.
About the Author:
Robbie Sims has worked as a cameraman, a reporter, an editor, an usher, a director, a researcher and a voice-over artist, though not necessarily in that order. He's written shows for CBeebies (Gigglebiz, Space Pirates, Kerwhizz), despite knowing next to nothing about small children. He is currently a continuity writer/announcer on a history channel telling viewers what sort of shows they can expect to see coming up (it’s almost always either Nazis or trains). He's been a Bond fan since his first rainy Bank Holiday viewing of Live and Let Die at the age of five, and decided to channel his geekery into the Bond-themed comedy Twitter account @TheTchaikovsky last year.
