Skyfall

- Murray Scullion

17 May, 8pm, ITV2

Fresh on the heels of the latest Bond news, it only felt appropriat­e to feature a Bond film this week. Skyfall brought the franchise its first Oscars in decades and (spoiler alert) was the last outing for Judi Dench as M.

Bond successful­ly shoehorns an Aston Martin DB5 into it, too – cue a long drive to Glen Etive in the Highlands, an amusing unspoken threat of ejector seat action and a surprise use of the Aston’s hidden machine guns. Spoiler alert #2: it gets blown up. But fear not, while there were several real DB5s in the film, the victim in the film was a combinatio­n of exacting scale models and a terminally ill Porsche 928.

So, you can enjoy the explosion with no guilt. Unless you’re a Porsche fan, of course.
