So who is to play the next James Bond, once Daniel Craig has handed in his licence to kill, as he seems likely to do after the forthcoming Spectre?
The 87-year-old star, who's celebrating seven decades in the entertainment game, had been talking about manners; and how political correctness had got out of hand.
BAZ BAMIGBOYE: The show will combine elements from the classic 1940 Disney animated movie and the fantasy's original source, The Adventures Of Pinocchio.
REVIEWS
FILM
Tiny human beings, whether shrunken or just born that way, have inspired story-tellers for centuries, and doubtless will for centuries to come, writes Brian Viner.
BRIAN VINER writes that he went to see Self/less with a good deal of apprehension - which was replaced with snorting disbelief when Ben Kingsley (pictured) turned into Ryan Reynolds.
Asif Kapadia's documentary Amy is sad, gripping, brilliantly executed. It also seems remarkably level-headed.
LIBBY PURVES: It might be my age, but there is a doe-like schoolboy innocence about Tatum, an air of being slightly worried but full of goodwill.
BRIAN VINER: The Minions so captured the imagination in the 2010 hit Despicable Me and its sequel, Despicable Me 2, that here they are with their own computer-generated animation.
BRIAN VINER: Slow West has a mood and style that I found captivating, and a mystical quality emphasised by the unrequited love story at the heart of it.

SHAWN MENDES
Handwritten (Island)
Aged just 16, this week Mendes became the youngest singer since Justin Bieber to top the U.S. album chart, and comparisons between the two Canadians are inevitable. This debut relies heavily on romantic teen ballads, while recent single Life Of The Party embraces the thwack and boom of modern pop. There is more to Mendes, though, with the pounding acoustics of Something Big and Strings closer to Ed Sheeran.

MARTIN GORE
MG (Mute)
As the main songwriter in Depeche Mode, Martin Gore can write catchy pop songs in his sleep. But this solo album offers an intriguing detour, comprising 16 electronic instrumentals recorded in his LA home. With its gently pulsing rhythms and subtle hooks, MG sounds like the soundtrack to a sci-fi film, while there are nods to Kraftwerk and David Bowies 1977 album Low. It may not be essential, but MG is an enterprising reminder of Gores talent.

IMAGINE DRAGONS
Smoke + Mirrors (Interscope)
Finding their niche between the meaty pop of OneRepublic and Coldplays shiny rock, Las Vegas band Imagine Dragons had a major hit with Radioactive, a single that sold nine million. This second album charts a similarly glossy path. New single I Bet My Life chimes perfectly with a machine-tooled pop landscape where sparkling hooks are everything, but there is greater individuality in the jittery electronics of Gold and the beats that power Hopeless Opus.

KATHRYN ROBERTS & SEAN LAKEMAN
Tomorrow Will Follow Today (Iscream)
Crowned best duo at last years BBC Folk Awards, guitarist Lakeman and singer Roberts mix traditional fare with ear-catching originals. The Devon husband-and-wife team deliver a blood-soaked preface on murder ballad Child Owlet. Another ancient tune, The Robber Bridegroom, is similarly sinister. Self-penned numbers bring light relief: Song To Live By offers advice to the couples twin daughters; The Banishing Book is a racy gem.

FRYARS
Power (Fiction)
FROM the same London circles as Bombay Bicycle Club, Benjamin Garrett aka Fryars wrote two tracks for Lily Allens Sheezus album, but is more at home as a solo artist. This second album arrives five years after his debut and sees his talent maturing. His crooned vocals, augmented by skewed electronics and stunning harmonies, can sound mannered, but tracks such as On Your Own pack a hefty emotional punch.

Between The Shadow And The Soul (The Orchard)
A BAREFOOT violin virtuoso with her heart in the prog-rock era, Phoebe toured with Roxy Music and Jon Lord, and she leads some superb ensemble playing on this mainly instrumental affair.

Home Part 1 (San Remo)
