There is no better place to finish than with the air hostess on the British Airways flight that transports James Bond back to London after his adventures in Cuba.

Audiences may notice that the hostess who serves Bond his vodka martini seems familiar and has a certain twinkle in her eye. This is because she is Sir Roger Moore's daughter, Deborah.

She was nine years old when her father's first entry into the official James Bond canon, Live And Let Die (1973) was released and, aside from observing her father's longstanding career as Double-0 Seven whilst she was growing up, she also portrayed a secretary in the television biopic, Goldeneye: The Secret Life of Ian Fleming (1989).

To television audiences, she is perhaps best known as a victim of Andrew Scott's Jim Moriarty in the series one finale of Sherlock (2010). Her character endured hours sat alone in her car, wearing a suicide vest and threatened by a sniper. Needless to say, Scott later portrayed future Bond villain, Max Denbigh (a.k.a. "C") in the 2015 James Bond film, SPECTRE.

I started writing for WhatCulture in July 2020. I have always enjoyed reading and writing. I have contributed to several short story competitions and I have occasionally been fortunate enough to have my work published. During the COVID-19 lockdown, I also started reviewing films on my Facebook page. Numerous friends and contacts suggested that I should start my own website for reviewing films, but I wanted something a bit more diverse - and so here I am! My interests focus on film and television mainly, but I also occasionally produce articles that venture into other areas as well. In particular, I am a fan of the under appreciated sequel (of which there are many), but I also like the classics and the mainstream too.
