BBC Radio 1Xtra - If You Don't Know, Black Bond

Could it happen?

Daniel Craig has done his last film as 007, leaving cinema lovers speculating about who will replace him next time. For lots of people, James Bond represents Britishness so this one is a big old conversation right now. 

So on today’s episode we’re going to talk it through.

Amon Warmann, who reviews films for Empire Magazine, explains what's going on representation-wise on the big screen. And the actor Vanessa Vanderpuye throws out some challenges for the TV and film industry.
