The article was published a few days ago so I don't think so,. I assumed the Olivia Coleman as the new Bond story was the spoof.

Blimey

Since when were tank engines representative of anything culturally in 2016

This story. Sorry Olivia if it's true!

Why do you think it might be an April Fool? Because of the racial stereotyping?

Yes I thought it was to rile the folk who think everything is too PC these days - especially as it's in the DF, where lots of readers hold that opinion

Olivia as Bond has to be an April fool as was gmb's idea for three seasons. I guessed the first and missed the second.
