What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
The rest is entertainment is presented by Octopus Energy. Now, celebrity culture has a way of taking very small preferences and promoting them until they require a lot of paperwork.
What are Richard and Marina's thoughts on celebrity culture?
Yeah, it's like the first time you ever go on a show and you say, oh, I could have some sparkling water. And then like forever, it's like, oh, you have to have sparkling water. You must have sparkling water. It's very, very important. And that's what we call the rider.
The rider. Right. In some cases, the rider didn't stay sort of practical for long. You know, it started as a wish list and then it sort of strayed into a kind of a hostage note from the ego. There was a point in JLo's ego where she was having like, you know, you know, the white drapes, the white candles, the white, absolutely everything, white flowers, white, you know, sofas, everything. Most people don't actually need a rider in this life of ours, however, but there is something reassuring about not having to specify everything twice in
This is one of my absolute favorite things about Octopus Energy. If you ring them about anything, your number is recognized and you'll go through to a team who deals with you and have dealt with you before. So yeah, you have a team, they recognize your number and you go through to people who you don't have to explain the same thing to 15 times.
Hello and welcome to this episode of the Restless Entertainment Questions and Answers Edition. I'm Marina Hyde.
And I'm Richard Osman. Hello, everyone. Hello, Marina.
Hello, Richard. How are you?
I'm not bad. I think this whole episode last week, I said as a joke, let's call it Marina is wrong about the best bomb theme. But I was. And we've had an awful lot of people.
And they're right. Richard, they're right.
Really, you've got a mea culpa. Should I tell you someone who wrote in, and listen, lots of people wrote in, and we really appreciate it, but you'll understand why I'm going to this gentleman first. David Arnold wrote in. Don't shame him.
I'm so sorry, David.
David Arnold has composed five Bond themes. He composed the Lana Del Rey track we talked about last week. David's answer is this. He said, my favourite Bond song isn't what I think is the best. He starts with that. He says, my favorite, as it was the first Bond I saw in the cinema, it's always the way, is You Only Live Twice, written by John Barry, sung by the one and only Nancy Sinatra. The best Bond theme, though, according to David, now this is controversial as well, but I cannot mock him in the same way I mock you.
No, you can't.
Because he's the great genius. The best Bond theme is On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which is an instrumental.
Mm-hmm.
And that's David Arnold saying that. You look like you want to argue, but you can't.
No, I don't. I'm ashamed of my performance last week when I literally had a mind blank as to a lot of Bond themes.
Okay, we will get to yours as well. Another thing that David says I think is interesting is that the White Stripes song Seven Nation Army was Jack Black's attempt at writing a Bond theme based on Her Majesty's Secret Service.
I did not know that.
Did you know that? No, I didn't know that. So thank you, David. That's amazing. And of course, Jack Black eventually did write a Bond theme for Quantum of Solace, which I would say not as catchy as Seven Nation Army. Certainly not a catchy movie. So what's your mea culpa?
Okay, I... I had a sort of mind blank, forgive me. I agree, by the way, that You Only Live Twice is up there in the mix. I just think there's something about, I do love all, I mean, maybe people don't like it so much anymore, but I love all the silhouettes of the women and there's something about that vocal which particularly lends itself to the sort of silhouettes and the, you know. Yeah, for sure.
Sure, now David Arnold said it, yeah. It started because you were dissing Live and Let Die.
Which I think is a brilliant song, but as I say, I just don't love it as a Bond. It's not I don't love it because I love the song, I think it's great, but it's not to me a sort of quintessential Bond theme because I prefer the female vocal on a Bond theme.
