Removed the following : "There was much praise for the meticulous period sets, though this authenticity was undercut by the accents of the cast, which were gratingly 2011"
If someone wants to keep it it needs citation and rewriting to fit the citations obviously. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.92.163.247 ( talk) 20:21, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
The synopsis for episode 1 refers to Alexandra Palace. However, the bulk of the BBC studio and office scenes are clearly set in Lime Grove. Lee M ( talk) 15:20, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
In fact, Casino Royale was published in 1953 and we are led to believe at various points that Freddie is a devotee of Fleming. I think also that Live and Let Die would have been out by 1956. Even so, it's probably right to say that such interplay between Bel and Freddie tends to anticipate the later films; and, ironically, given the backdrop to the series, Fleming's profile was given a huge boost when, after Suez, Sir Anthony and Lady Eden spent a few weeks recuperating at Fleming's retreat in Jamaica (Goldeneye), his wife having been a long-time friend of Lady Eden.

It would be interesting to know what response, if any, there has been to this. The (a) problem with The Hour is that so much of the detail grates that the "escapism" just doesn't take hold. The BBC has seemed happy to permit comparisons with Mad Man, yet, because the latter gets detail to such perfection, the escapism is complete. Just occasionally records are heard that hadn't been released/recorded at the time in question - but that's about it. Still, such comments are not really encyclopaedic!

The show has been renewed for a second series. It's on the twitter account @juliantelly who is Head of Communications BBC Television. He says he got it from Janice Hadlow. Can't find any other source though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.134.15.31 ( talk) 17:32, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
In its current state, information about the plot is scattered and confusing. Series One has a full summary and an episode list with (save for Ep. 1) very brief synopses. Series Two is only brief synopses. This ought to be changed, particularly because the show has enough viewers that episodes warrant more coverage. Either (a) there should be a full synopsis of Series Two or (b) the "Plot" section should be a broad overview and an episode list with full summaries should be created.

Hi, i have tried to add this before but it got deleted. This is now a large and serious campaign, and it isn't run by me or anyone I know. I have tried to make the information unbiased, and will try to keep it up to date without being inapropriate. Please don't delete it, but discuss changes hear first. Thanks :)

I find this very annoying. I don't see why this is not important information. Why are the fans views less important on wikipedia than those of paid critics? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Missannafjmorris ( talk • contribs) 21:35, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
