Well I am just turned 46, my mother was 42 when she had me,and her mum had her when she was 41, so my family has large age gaps, hence I have cousins who are in their 70s and are great grandparents!
My father was 54 when I was born, so he would have Just turned 100 last month. He was a soldier in world war two ,along with most of my uncles. My grandfather fought on the Somme In 1916 and his brother in law was in the boar war in 1905.
My mother was born in 1933, she was in the east end of London during the blitz and nearly died three times. Her attitude to covid Is Just to carry on as normal, so for us Bond fans, at least by us moaning about the dvd release dates,we have something to think about other than the pandemic
Not to be off topic, but that reminds me of President John Tyler of Tippecanoe and Tyler too fame.
The future 10th president of the United States was born in 1790 during George Washington’s first term. He went on to succeed William Henry Harrison as president from 1841-1845 after Harrison died of pneumonia a month into his term. Tyler was the first president to be widowed and re-marry in the White House. His second wife was much younger and had several kids. One of those was Lyon Gardiner Tyler Sr. in 1853 when President Tyler was 63 years old! (All told President Tyler had 15 kids!) Lyon Sr. went on to be a near a carbon copy of his father in that he was also widowed and re-married a much younger woman and went on to have more children for a total of six. One of those was Harrison Ruffin Tyler who was born in 1928 (when Lyon Sr. was 75!) and he remains alive today at 93 years old. In fact his older brother, Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr. just died last year at 95! So in other words, THE 10th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, WHO WAS BORN OVER 230 YEARS AGO, STILL HAS A LIVING GRANDSON! That almost spans the entire length of the history of America. Absolutely incredible.
Sorry for this historical nugget, but it amazes me every time I think or hear of it and your family tree reminded me of it.

The German digibook version has an extra blu ray bonus disc, but it looks like it are the same extras as on the other versions. A little strange to put them on a extra disc.
Most companies do tricks like this to make you think you are getting more for your money, like bands who reissue their entire catalogue as a box set, where the hardcore fan buys it to just get one extra track!
It’s actually a sign of a quality set and home theater enthusiasts prefer it when they do it that way.
It’s so they can give more bitrate to the movie’s video and audio by moving the extras to it’s own disc. I’m guessing the bitrate for the movie will be around 28Mbps but if they had crammed the extras onto the 1 disc it would have dropped to around 22Mbps and resulted in lesser quality.
It would have saved them money to have done it the other way but they chose instead to go the route of putting out a higher quality product.
