Not really on Bond but I was just thinking that for any of those who have not seen Charlie Higson in his previous incarnations, the links below may be amusing.
He was part of a great comedy writing team that included Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse. Charlie and Paul went on to make The Fast Show, a comedy sketch show which was, apparently, one of Johnny Depp's favourite shows (he appeared on it once).
He created the car salesman, faux sophisticate, Swiss Toni, who went on to get his own series. Swiss Toni's always "guided" his employees with the advice that said task was "like making love to a beautiful woman."
I think they're funny and for those of you who love Young Bond, these should be amusing too. Listen to his hilarious BBC Radio 4 show, Down The Line too.

I guess getting one of those is my only option, right? MacBook Pros bought in the United States are only Region 1, right?I do have a region free player.I love the Swiss Toni clips on YouTube!
I wish this was available in Region 1.

No, you can switch your Mac DVD player between regions -- but only so many times. There's a limit.

Charlie Higson has many strings to his bow. Amazingly funny, and a bloody good writer.
Link to his DVD Swiss Tony. I am guessing they ship to the USA. I dont think it worked as well as The Fast Show. Swiss Tony was better in the small sketches. Always left you wanting more.

Dave Angel Echo Warrier was also a favorite of mine, which Charlie must have had a hand in writing.
