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.

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.
