But Bond has now dodged all that, and busted out in time for next week's big opening, only to discover that the director, a man called Cary Fukunaga, is out there dismissing Sean Connery as a guy who basically "rapes" his women. One of the reasons 007 is the longest-running series in film history - ... The Bachman BeatTal Bachman: We Have Met the Enemy, part XXI

If you missed today's edition of our Clubland Q&A live around the planet, here's the action replay. Simply click above and settle back for an hour-plus of my answers to questions from Steyn Club members around the planet (including the Trucial States) on everything from the dissolution of the American border to the public enthusiasm for masks - with a side trip up the Fallopian canal and a few other diversions. You don't have to be a Mark Steyn Club member to listen to the show, so please click away and enjoy it, if that's the word. But we do thank Steyn Clubbers for, as always, some excellent questions, and we'll pick up a few of the ones I didn't get to in the days ahead.
