At the time of writing the Isle of Man government was set to buy up to a 19.9% share of Pinewood Shepperton Studies, the home of Bond. A little selling out can be alright in a Sandford Greater Good kind of way but the prospect of Bond coming to an ignominious paraplegic end on a motorcycle is an unwelcome one. Saying that, as long as the franchise manages to steer clear of making Bond up as a TT touting moto-freak then showing the Isle of Man for the beautiful place it can be could be massively beneficial for tourism. The point cant be made strongly enough, though: dont let Bond get anywhere near multi-coloured leather onesies. Reputations can be shattered that easily!
