DZ Season 045 Part 01. Ian Fleming - the Real James Bond? There Must Be Something That Ian Fleming Would Be Good At. The Early Years. Hitler's Career Solution.

He was 38 years old when he was born in 1953. He never ages. He never loses. Like Dr. Who he’s continuously being reborn – in body and mind as he moves effortlessly through the passing decades since the movie Dr No was released in 1963. Was this fictional character modelled on a real person. Is that even possible? Perhaps he’s a composite of more than one person. Or is he just pure fiction? Let’s go into the world of national and international interests, where the highest stakes imaginable is the only game in town that he plays in. And danger is ever present. In this series of programmes I’ll reveal all and the creator of James Bond, Ian Fleming.
