Not good news for fans of The Ipcress File reboot. ITV have been unable to green light a second season due to the cast being unavailable. So that’s that. The 2022 adaptation of Len Deighton’s work starred Joe Cole as Harry Palmer, a role made famous by @themichaelcaine https://t.co/Ks7GWWJR6k

#1 CASINO ROYALE As our friend and co-author of ‘Some Kind of Hero,’ Ajay Chowdhury, put it at the time of the release, ‘Casino Royale’ is the ‘gourmet’ James Bond film. Not only is it a great Bond film, but it’s also just a great film. Audiences agreed by turning up in numbers. https://t.co/NadXwoPm5F
