Our Month in Bond: June 2023

Licence To Queer

Coming in slightly late - a few days into July - because we've had such a busy month...

June was Pride Month so we talk about all of the Prides we've been to, including Pride in London where we represented the queer Bond fan community. David talks about the On The Tracks Nene Valley Railway event where he spent lots of time with John Glen, Kristina Wayborn and other Octopussy alumni. Watching 50th anniversary film Live and Let Die inspired Antony to make a new cocktail. David visited Ian Fleming Publications. Antony found Bond references in 1960s Marvel comics. David met up with 007GB Club friends Natasha and Fletcher at Dukes in London for a Book Club discussion of Double or Nothing (which received a new cover for the paperback, unveiled this month). Antony talks about how he's getting on with reading Diamonds Are Forever. David and Antony discuss July's upcoming Zoom event with David and Kim Sherwood focused on Bond and travelling. Along the way, Antony and David also remember to talk about David receiving an MBE in King Charles's Birthday Honours. Talk about keeping the British End Up!
