I admit, Higson is a funny guy. Just watch The Fast Show. But in terms of Bond, I doubt he'll do anything important.
Firstly, this will be another clone of the Harry Pothead novels. Bond will grow up at Eton, while adventuring and stopping nukes while sipping some ginger beer.
Secondly, this opens the door for a younger audience of Bond fans, who will then rather see adaptations of Young Bond films rather than the adult movies we've grown up with.
Maybe that's Eon's plan: To get hold of a younger Bond actor to play Bond at his teenage years, and after DAD, make films of the Young James Bond novels. Which will suck.
This will be like Agent Cody Banks reheated, Harry Pothead shaken and stirred, and Ian Fleming will no doubt be turning in his grave.
Unless he was cremated.
The Mole's Final Thought: Drugs and Young James Bond books are hazardous to your health. Try eating lasagne instead for a healthy balanced diet.
