“And this is where it starts to get silly. James drives Q to a garage and tells her that the trouble with official cars is that they always have trackers. He opens the garage doors to reveal the silver Aston Martin everybody’s been making such a fuss about. Yes, we get it – this whole film is about things being resurrected – why didn’t they just call it ‘Oldfinger’ and have done with it?”

John Henry…

“Luis Suarez is the top scorer in the English Premier League, which is arguably the top soccer league in the world,” Henry is reported to have said. “He had a buyout clause of £40m. Arsenal, one of our prime rivals, offered £40m plus £1. What we’ve found … is that contracts don’t seem to mean a lot in England – actually, in world football.

“It doesn’t matter how long a player’s contract is, he can decide he’s leaving. We sold a player, Fernando Torres, for £50m, that we did not want to sell, we were forced to.

“Since apparently these contracts don’t seem to hold, we took the position that we’re just not selling.
