    Rest assured that James Bond has nothing to do with the third part of the answer.

      So that’s why I’ve got nil points for Poulenc!

            To recap:
            Anton Bruckner (b. 1824): 'Double Zero' Symphony
            Arthur Bliss (b. 1891): Adam Zero
            Maurice Jaubert (b. 1900): Film score 'Zero de Conduite'.

            Who gets to set an 'A' question?
