She's the fifth writer I know of involved in the new Bond script, so who knows quite how much input she will have on the final version ... Hopefully it won't sound like it was written by a committee! Apparently, it was Daniel Craig's idea to invite her to contribute. He asked her if she could help improve the movie’s script by adding her wit and quirkiness to the screenplay, according to [producer] Barbara Broccoli. She (Waller-Bridge) has said that her role would "mainly be making the female characters feel like real people," but it's also been said that her job includes "polishing" the whole script.

I hope they do a good job for Craig's last film - he's done such a good job overall, he deserves to go out on a high.

I thought Brosnan did quite a good job of modernizing the role but Craig has had much the better scripts ... Quantum was easily his weakest film but I've enjoyed it more in retrospect and is much better than the weaker Brosnan efforts.

Yep, Craig is the closest Bond to the books and gets my vote.

With this 'team' of scriptwriters, a new director and Craig supposedly being the man in charge (to bring him back one last time it), there have been rumblings of tensions on set. This may just be fake news but it's certainly a more challenging project than the previous films I think.

I've been looking for Americans to watch from the start but can't find it on Netflix. Must try Sky.

Reagan era and parallels with his royal orangeness
Utter reality that makes you despair for the human race sometimes And this is supposed to be a recommendation !
We're on Season 2 and there are subtle changes going on that add to the reality. No detail as twould be a spoiler

Coming to the end of Grey Zone on 4 catch-up. It's a drama about a woman who gets blackmailed to help a terrorist cell in Denmark / Sweden. Every episode has been compelling with great characters and standard of acting.

I'm on season 2 of Salvation (Netflix) and the plot twists leave me wishing for the expedited arrival of the asteroid to create an extinction level event (of the cast hopefully)!

After Quicksand (Störst av allt), we've been watching 30 degrees in February (30 grader i Februari). Lead actor Hanna Ardéhn in Quicksand is in it. The Swedish characters try to find happiness in Thailand.. all over the bloody place - chaos.

Chernobyl again. It's incredibly stark, terrifying, and doesn't pull its punches. It's also a staggeringly well made and acted drama.
The lesson? A nuclear disaster is far worse than it is possible to imagine.

Took a break from Americans and Manhattan
both are must watch series but depressing after a few episodes in one hit. Too believable and grim in places. Duplicitous all the way through
Still recommend them both
New Amsterdam has more episodes added to series 1 and that is an easier, good watch. Also recommended
Chernobyl maybe in the future
