I've been wading my way through your questions and in the next few weeks we'll get round to answering as many as possible. But let's start with a question that goes straight to the heart of this new film with a new star.

Hi Yarborough, glad to see you´re with us all again for another instalment in the series. Could you say more about Daniel and what are your personal feelings towards his approach? Is this movie closer to the originals? Flemingesque? Conneryesque?
- John P.

Well, rather than hear my thoughts on it, let's go to someone who has got a bit more authority - Judi Dench, back once more to reprise her on-going role as M.

We're out on location again, this time at the Strahov Monastery, a beautiful monastery that has stood overlooking Prague since the 12th Century. Today its baroque grandeur is being borrowed for a scene set in the House of Commons where Bond's actions have had repercussions for his boss. Although she is acting angry on set, the real Judi Dench is more cheerful and gives us her take on the approach to this film.

"I'm glad that we've gone back to Ian Fleming again and just really pleased to be here. What an interesting script and what a good story to tell."

It's a new angle on the character she has made her own since a debut with our current director, Martin Campbell, on GOLDENEYE. Interestingly, as an awards-laden actress of both stage and screen, she appreciates Martin's sensitivities towards the actors.

"Martin is very enthusiastic and he knows the conditions that actors like to work in. He knows that when you have to do take after take after take after take it is wonderful if an atmosphere is kind of suspended between takes of just quietness and you go very quickly into the next take so that you have the thing still very clear in your mind. That's marvellous working with him, its wonderful, you don't often get that"

Because of his experience with launching Pierce Brosnan on GOLDENEYE, she also appreciates Martin's handle on the world of Bond.

"He knows the area. He knows the Bond scene very well. He was great to work with on GOLDEN EYE"

In this film, we're seeing a 007 in the making so her relationship with Bond starts and finishes in a slightly different place from usual.

"She's only just given him 007 status and so he's very untried and raw. But it's a good arc of story because by the end I think you understand that he has done right and that she knows she's on to a good thing."

And what of her take on Daniel, the other part of John's question? She has worked with so many well known leading men and is impressed with this one.

"He's got a wonderful presence, very attractive and strong and he has relaxed wonderfully. I'm sure he has got anxiety but he doesn't show it, he's very relaxed."

There's a lot more to catch up on with Judi but for now, she has to get packed for the Bahamas so…

Until next time
