That’s an excellent idea.

Thank you! A “period” series like that sets up so many possibilities. Even tossed-off, offhand dialogue could be loads of fun. I could picture, for example, Bond and Felix Leiter having cocktails in Jamaica:

FELIX: Did you see that cable this morning? I had to laugh, it was so unbelievable.

BOND: I missed it. I had a rather late night.

FELIX: What else is new? It concerned the murder of Hans Schmid. You know of him?

BOND: An agent with the Gehlen Organization ... Really a detestable fellow. I can’t say I’m surprised someone thought he might be worth a bullet.

FELIX: (Leaning in) Maybe this might surprise you, James. He was beheaded ...

BOND: That does seem a touch excessive.

FELIX: ... by a bowler, with a razor-sharp brim.

BOND: (Actually surprised) Well. That is a new one. I wonder if Q might make one in a Harris Tweed?


As I say, the possibilities are really endless. :)
