If Dorothy in the The Wizard of Oz is to be believed, there's no place like home. But what if that home is Skyfall? In his 50th anniversary queer odyssey, 00-Dorothy doesn’t just kick back against traditional notions of home and family; along the way he creates a unconventional family to replace the one he lost and blows up his childhood abode with dynamite. Talk about cathartic!

I was asked to deliver a talk about Licence To Queer at Conway Hall in Central London. In this 10 minute presentation I speak about why I created an online space for queer Bond fans at the start of the Covid-19 lockdowns and how it has grown into a true community.

After a recent article erroneously claimed that Ben Whishaw’s Q was the first LGBTQ+ character in Bond, Calvin Dyson and I met up to set the record not-so-straight.

M’s poetry reading is one of Skyfall’s most gripping and memorable scenes, imbuing the film with a sense of what Winston Churchill would have termed ‘buggering on’. It also contains a tragic gay love story, mostly forgotten about (or hidden) for nearly 200 years.
