I had to look up what that was. But yeah, that's an excellent idea; if they can do 11 plus hours on The Beatles, they can easily spend as much time on the James Bond franchise.
Fuck, they can easily do 2 informative, exciting, fluff-free hours on the Bond girls alone. Or 2 hours on the life and writing career of Ian Fleming. Maybe another 2 hours on the various post-Fleming Bond authors (granted, all the ones I've tried have sucked horribly) and how they came up with film ideas starting with You Only Live Twice, the first entry to significantly depart from the source. As for the movies, casting, various producers, directors, movies, etc....holy hell.
Instead, we got a 90 minute documentary made almost entirely of fluff.
