Are you referring to the Children in Need clip? If so, I know it's due to be aired on BBC1 tonight, so maybe it will hit the net after.
Yes, I was. Thanks Sylvia
Wanna hear, what he has to say.

Very cool SNicks is as good as umpteen years ago. She's never criticized for bring and 'older' woman singer. Always a lot of respect from her other musicians.
Mao is it just a given that D&R are invited backstage to every event?? Surely they are never shunned!

The comment..."Looks especially great with a santa hat on it". made me chuckle.

Daniel is at no.44 in Vulture's list of most valuable movie stars and has moved down the rankings. He has paid the price for not appearing in a film since Skyfall.

Daniel Craig, his co-star from seminal TV series Our Friends In The North is godfather to the former (“He is a great godfather and very generous.”)

Thanks Cass, our other truffle pig

Imo, there is no such thing as a bankable actor. RDJs film The Judge is not doing well, for example, which only proves, that he is just successful as Iron Man. It all depends on the film, imo, if it is good, people go see it. Surprise hits with unknown actors prove that. They are lucky, if they are in a successful film, thats it, and can try to build on that.

If C@A had been a good film, Daniel would have had another monster hit. It was trending for 3 days, so this proves, it had nothing to do whether or not Daniel is bankable outside of Bond. Only with the bad quality of the film. If Interstellar is successful, it has very little to do with Mathew. Every decent actor would do. Ben Affleck doesnt have a following, but gone girl seems a good film, so people watch it.

Re Vulture's list, I am sure that Daniel will zoom back up the list soon. I don't suppose he's bothered, anyway.

When it comes to truffle hunting, SG is in a league of her own!

I agree with GG.....

The Judge was only on in my local cinema for 1 week and it's been moved to a nightly 'once a day' slot. It's a shame because Duvall & RDJ are great actors. The movie is too long for a courtroom drama - 140 minutes. For me, I haven't been to the cinema for ages again. Time and money (and frankly, the inclination) are factors. I was going to see The Judge, Gone Girl and Fury at the cinema but I bet I end up waiting for them all on dvd. It's strange that I say that because I would hate to see cinema become a thing of the past because of declining audience numbers. I reckon that cinema managers are all chomping at the bit for 2015 when not only does Bond 24 come out but the Stars Wars reboot, the next Avengers and - dare I say? - The Minions Movie as well.

But who the hell are "Vulture" anyway? And who cares where they place Daniel on the list of "bankable stars"??

Not that I don't appreciate the news being posted in the first place...

Well, I am sure, there ARE people, who do care a lot about the mumbers stars bring in at the end.

But like Cass says, he will most likely be better placed again at some point.

I think there is only one bankable star right at the Moment in Hollywood. Jennifer Lawrence. I don't get the hype but I only saw the first Hunger Games movie with her.

And sorry, but The Judge is twenty years too late to keep People in the seats.

Judi Dench missed the travel boat during Bond films

http://pagesix.com/2014/11/22/judi-denc ... ond-films/

A quote from the article:
‘Dench, who first appeared in 1995’s “GoldenEye,” calls Pierce Brosnan “lovely” and Daniel Craig “hugely good fun. He does most of his stunts himself.” ’
