Excellent!

You are the queen of social networking, Athena007. You can find anyone.

[zencat]

Ha!

Bond fans now following me Any titbits? Play character in Bellamy's People (BP) who looks exactly like David Arnold Hope he sees funny side

[DAN LIGHTER]

He was just on The One Show earlier as twitted. Very good. I might follow him. What ever that involves. How did you find him on it? Good find.

[zencat]

Just click "Follow."

Not sure how Athena found him. But, coincidentally, I got an email from a contact at Puffin today asking if I had noticed he was on Twitter.

[DAN LIGHTER]

Thank you. Might be a few tasty tip bits coming out from his tweets, maybe an exclusive in the future. Fingers crossed.

[Athena007]

How did I find him...? That's a good question... I have my ways. I told him he was going to get a slew of 007 fans inundating him... so get at it you CBn twitterers.

Looks like David Arnold and Charlie follow each other. That's pretty neat.

[DAN LIGHTER]

I was following myself on Twitter but I might fire it back up just to follow Charlie. How does the messaging work? You post on your twitter page @blah and if blah is following you they will read it?

David Arnold is a crack up to follow!

If you include @twitterusername that person will be able to see your message to them no mater if they are "following" you or you "following" them. The only way to have private communication is if you are both following each other. But posting @twitterusername is public communication that they can go into their "@" box and see. Ok, that was was more words than needed to describe that. Hope it helped!

Thanks Athena007. I will see how I get on with it. Did David Arnold accept the date with Charlie?

[zencat]

Charlie is being very generous with info via his tweets:

new cover artwork for Enemy PB looking good. Going for very different look to hardback. Now all we have to do is get good idea for The Dead.

Man, if only he had this during the YB days.

Well... they're following each other now... something must be up!

Yes... BUT... that's what http://www.youngbonddossier.com was for!

[marktmurphy]

Arf! He does look quite a lot like David Arnold! And bizarrely, when he's in the old man prosthetics: quite a lot like Harry Enfield!

[DAN LIGHTER]

Poor Charlie has had to flee to Italy then. Ah the writers life eh!

[zencat]

Charlie has crossed over 7000 followers.

[marktmurphy]

Not worth starting a new thread for, but I see that Charlie has written the foreword for a new edition of a classic Doctor Who novel to be released in July; plus of course a new series of the brilliant Down the Line has just started on Radio 4.

Oh, cool, thanks. I missed that.

They need to hire Charlie to write an episode of Doctor Who.

[marktmurphy]

Yeah, I saw that someone asked him about that and he knows Steven Moffat apparently; Charlie said that he'd love to do it but believes Moffat has him own team. Scary, funny... I can't think of a more perfect fit to be honest; they've got to ask him!

Down the Line was brilliant, by the way; well worth a listen!

[BluffersBond]

Just to bring this thread back to life: in honour of the Skyfall premiere today @monstroso is live blogging the plots to Bond all day! It's brilliant stuff and he's dug out some pretty cool vintage Bond covers.
