Just announced, the part of 'Q' in the new film is to be played by some 'kid'.... see
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15889689I was planning to write a longer diatribe about how entertainment and life in general
seems to be tilted more and more towards the 'yoof' element when this pops up
to prove it !
BTW I don't watch James Bond any more - since Daniel Craig took the part -
it seems to have too much
malevolent violence in it these days.

I am prepared to put money on the the next Doctor Who being a schoolboy!
- it is a long way from William Hartnell !
In fact if you look at the sequence of the actors who've taken the part ....
William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison,
Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant,
and Matt Smith
It's noticeable that they get younger with each re-incarnation...
When I was younger (I'm 62 now) I used to look up to, and respect older people
for their experience and knowledge - I looked forward to the day when I might
(hopefully) be respected for those traits, but somehow in the intervening years it's
all changed, and I never really noticed!
If you watch the news these days more often than not we get fed some 'Political Expert'
not long out of college, but somehow knows all about the political scene way back to the
1990s and beyond, but was probably still at primary school when it all actually took place.
Anybody care to comment?
Richard
