Bogus sex parties, fake corpses, exploding tin cans and belligerent pigs. If you thought that James Bond's fictional escapades were outrageous, then the real-life experiences of his creator, Ian Fleming, are arguably even more extraordinary. Here, in conversation with Spencer Mizen, Edward Abel Smith reveals how Fleming's work as a wartime intelligence officer inspired the plotlines in his world-famous spy novels.

Walter Owen – kun kaldet W.O. – var den yngste af ni børn. Derfor protesterede hans velhavende forældre ikke, da han som 16-årig droppede ud af skolen og gik i lære som fyrbøder på et damplokomotiv.Han finder dog selv ud af, at der ikke er megen karriere i at skovle kul og læser følgelig lidt til ingeniør på King's College i London (uden dog at få eksamen). Men som alle raske drenge, født med mønt på lommen, kører han motorløb og lærer sig et-og-andet om motorer.Det ender med stempler i aluminium, hastighedsrekorder, noget med lettere flymotorer og et ret betydeligt opfinderlegat, der straks, i 1919 efter Første Verdenskrig, omsættes i etableringen af en bilfabrik.Bentley frembringer herefter en række meget, meget hurtige lastvogne – det var i alle fald Ettore Bugattis karakteristik af designet – og vinder Le Mans adskillelige gange mellem 1924 og 1930. Og Bentley bliver så meget indbegrebet af en Gentleman's car, at Ian Fleming udstyrer James Bond med en Battleship Grey Blower Bentley.Efter at have ædt sig gennem tre formuer, smider W.O & Co. håndklædet i ringen i 1931 (med dagens begreber efter en dekade med en passende høj burn-rate). Bentley opsluges af Rolls Royce og W.O kører sig ud på et sidespor ved at fortælle sin nye chef, Henry Royce, hvordan skabet skal stå. W.O. forlader endelig fabrikken i 1935 og har ikke officielt noget med mærket at gøre sidenhen.Dine værter er som altid den næsten alvidende Stefan Kaas, og hans let aldrende ven, forfatter og ingenør, Adam Estrup.Du kan få mange begavede ting med i dette afsnit af Bilsnobbernes auditive bilencyklopædi – podcasten, der lærer dig at tale med når snakken omkring middagsbordet falder på Tom Tjaarda og nu altså også den bittersøde fortælling om en utvivlsomt meget teknisk begavet mand.

A chaotic, shambolic and critically panned parody, the first on-screen incarnation of Ian Fleming's novel ‘Casino Royale' received its London premiere on 12th April, 1967 - with final edits still being made in the projection room. Nonetheless, it went on to take an extraordinary $40 million at the box office.  Hardnut hero James Bond's adventures had become a swinging Sixties sex comedy starring Peter Sellers, thanks to Fleming's disasterous decision to sell the movie rights to actor Gregory Ratoff for a song long before Bond was known all around the world thanks to the highly succesful film versions of his later books ‘Dr No' and ‘From Russia With Love'. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how producer Charles K Feldman assembled such an impressive cast list for his 007 ensemble, including Orson Welles, Ronnie Corbett and Ursula Andress; explain how an on-set visit by Princess Margaret prompted an enormous clash of egos; and ponder why ‘the Spice World of the Sixties' became such a box office hit…  Further Reading: • ‘Casino Royale movie review & film summary' (Roger Ebert, 1967): https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/casino-royale-1967 • ‘The Casino Royale calamity: how Peter Sellers turned Bond into a laughing stock' (Daily Telegraph, 2021): https://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/casino-royale-calamity-peter-sellers-turned-bond-laughing-stock/ • ‘Casino Royale: Official Trailer' (MGM, 1967): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onhWav2DejM Love the show?

Welcome back to the Drinks and a Movie Podcast! In this seventh episode of my James Bond series, I'm diving into Diamonds Are Forever (1971), which marks Sean Connery's return as Bond after a break from the role. This film, while classic in its own right, is also notable for its place in the Bond franchise's continuity—or lack thereof. Diamonds Are Forever, along with On Her Majesty's Secret Service and You Only Live Twice, deviates from the correct order of Ian Fleming's novels. The correct sequence is Thunderball, followed by On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and then You Only Live Twice. This shift is significant because it disrupts the emotional and narrative through-line, especially when it comes to Bond's relationship with Tracy and the aftermath of her death, which was central to On Her Majesty's Secret Service. By skipping over the emotional weight that should have followed, Diamonds Are Forever somewhat lightens the thematic stakes of Bond's character arc, leaning into a more campy, adventurous tone instead of the emotional depth seen in Fleming's books.To pair with this film, I'm sipping on Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Sour Mash Bourbon, crafted from Buffalo Trace's Mash Bill #2. Elmer T. Lee, a legendary figure in the bourbon world. He was became a master distiller at Buffalo Trace and was instrumental in the creation of Blanton's Bourbon. His single barrel sour mash bourbon is known for its smooth, rich profile, making it the perfect companion for a Bond film that balances high stakes with a lighter, more fun tone. Join me as I discuss how Diamonds Are Forever shifts the tone of the Bond saga, why the change in the novel order matters thematically, and why Elmer T. Lee's bourbon is an ideal drink to accompany this spirited, yet somewhat disjointed, chapter in Bond's story.

They are the titans of the spy novel, who have elevated thrillers to the level of literary fiction. Much imitated, much adapted by the big and small screens, Ian Fleming and John Le Carré have painted our picture of post-war espionage: Fleming through the dashing figure of James Bond, with his lush locations and Martinis as icy as his heart; Le Carré through his damning portrait of the British secret service drawn from his own time in MI5 and MI6. But which of the two novelists is the greater? In this thrilling contest, Fleming's case was made by Anthony Horowitz, creator of the bestselling Alex Rider spy novels and author of the official Bond continuation novel Trigger Mortis. Championing Le Carré – whose memoir about his life as a former spy currently sits in the bestseller lists – was David Farr, Emmy-nominated screenwriter of the BBC's adaptation of The Night Manager. Actors Lesley Manville, Simon Callow, Matthew Lewis and Alex Macqueen joined us to bring both authors' works to life along with our host, author and critic Erica Wagner. ----  If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

fWotD Episode 2883: The Spy Who Loved Me (novel) Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 27 March 2025 is The Spy Who Loved Me (novel).The Spy Who Loved Me is the ninth novel and tenth book in Ian Fleming's James Bond series, first published by Jonathan Cape on 16 April 1962. It is the shortest and most sexually explicit of Fleming's novels, as well as the only Bond novel told in the first person. Its narrator is a young Canadian woman, Viv Michel. Bond himself does not appear until two-thirds of the way through the book, arriving at precisely the right moment to save Viv from being raped and murdered by two criminals. Fleming wrote a prologue to the novel giving the character Viv credit as a co-author.The story uses a recurring motif of Saint George against the dragon, and contains themes of power, and the moral ambiguity between those acting with good and evil intent. As the narrator who tells her own backstory and expresses her emotions and motives, Viv has been described as the best realised and most rounded female character in the Bond canon. The reviewers were largely negative, with some expressing a desire for a return to the structure and form of the previous Bond novels. In a letter to his editor after the reviews had been published, Fleming reflected that "the experiment has obviously gone very much awry".Following the negative reactions of critics, Fleming attempted to suppress elements of the novel: he blocked a paperback edition in the United Kingdom and, when he sold the film rights to Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli, they were permitted to use the title but none of the plot of the book. In the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me, the tenth in the Eon Productions series, only the title and the character of one of the villains, Jaws, is taken from the book. The film was the third to star Roger Moore as Bond. A heavily adapted version of The Spy Who Loved Me appeared in The Daily Express newspaper in daily comic strip format between 1967 and 1968; a British paperback edition of the novel was published after Fleming's death.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:59 UTC on Thursday, 27 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see The Spy Who Loved Me (novel) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Matthew.

In this Brush Pass episode of Brush Pass, Le Carre Cast and Barbican Station podcast host Jeff Quest, gives us the lowdown on two spy-related theatrical productions: 'Operation Mincemeat' and 'Dakar 2000'. Operation Mincemeat on Broadway John Golden Theatre   252 W. 45th St., New York, NY The stunning true story of a scheme every bit as dicey, daring, and ridiculous as opening a new musical on Broadway! The best-reviewed show in West End history is now on Broadway! 74 ★★★★★ Reviews and Counting! (which, according to our calculations, adds up to 370 stars) SYNOPSIS: It's 1943, and the Allied Forces are on the ropes. Luckily, they've got a trick up their sleeve. Well, not up their sleeve, per se, but rather inside the pocket of a stolen corpse. Equal parts farce, thriller, and Ian Fleming-style spy caper (with an assist from Mr. Fleming himself), Operation Mincemeat tells the wildly improbable and hilarious true story of the covert operation that turned the tide of WWII. SCHEDULE: March 25–30: Tuesday @7pm, Wednesday @2pm and 7:30pm, Thursday @7pm, Friday @7:30pm, Saturday @2pm and 7:30pm, Sunday @2pm Running Time: 2 hours and 30 minutes with one intermission Dakar 2000 In Senegal on the eve of Y2K, an idealistic Peace Corps volunteer survives a mysterious car accident. An imposing State Department operative immediately takes command of the situation and his safety. Though they couldn't be more different, they form an unlikely relationship. But when it becomes clear that they both have secrets, the volunteer is roped into a darker side of public service – one he can't come back from. Unpredictable at every turn, this world-premiere thriller was commissioned by Manhattan Theatre Club. Written by Rajiv Joseph (Pulitzer Prize finalist for Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo; King James at MTC) and directed by May Adrales (Vietgone and Poor Yella Rednecks at MTC).   Have you watched Operation Mincemeat and/or Dakar 2000?

A feeling of authenticity is what really brought 007 to life and the Broccoli family brought it to the screen. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us. But we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients, so here's one of those. [No Bull RV Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young with you, alongside Stephen Semple. We're talking about famous brands. This is, I guess it's a brand, sure. It's Bond, James Bond we're going to talk about. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: It's not a consumer product. Stephen Semple: Well- Dave Young: It's one of those things where there's a story and it fits the zeitgeist of marketing in the popular, I don't even know what I'm trying ... Save me, Stephen. What am I trying to say? Stephen Semple: Well, I look at it this way. How is it not a brand? Dave Young: Oh, it's a brand. Stephen Semple: The moment I say Bond. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Shaken not stirred. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: We all know who it is. Dave Young: Evil geniuses. Stephen Semple: The first movie came out in 1962. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: And has generated billions and billions of dollars, both in a Hollywood, and spinoffs, and product placements. We all know about Aston Martin DB-whatevers because of Bond. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: To me, how is this not a brand? Dave Young: It's definitely a brand. I guess I'm thinking that most of what we've done have been consumer-facing products. Stephen Semple: Correct. Dave Young: Bond definitely is, in that selling seats to movies. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: For sure, that's consumer-focused. I'm with you. I'm all for talking about Bond. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: We just have to think differently, which I think like an evil genius. Stephen Semple: Well, the other part is it was the world's first blockbuster franchise. It's estimated that it's done seven billion in revenues. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Big, big, big, big, big, big bucks. Dave Young: We're always wondering, even when there's no Bond movie out, we're wondering who's the next Bond going to be? Stephen Semple: Who's the next Bond? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Who's the next Bond? Which is the controversy right now today. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: That we're going to come back and talk a little bit about. One of the funniest things though, when I was researching this, one of the funniest things is how Ian Fleming ... Ian Fleming created the Bond character and wrote the James Bond books, of which, what is it, the original dozen movies or so were all based upon the books. But here's the interesting thing, how he came up with the name James Bond. He's sitting writing, and he looks up at this book, The Birds of the West Indies because he's living in Jamaica, and it's written by James Bond. He goes, "That's a really cool name. That's what I'm going to name my spy." Dave Young: I like that, yeah. People that have single-syllable names always roll off the tongue. Stephen Semple: Yeah. I'm not going to go into a lot of the history. We're going to talk about it a little bit. I want to talk about something different, and it's going to seem weird. Because part of the reason why I believe James Bond, the Bond franchise and the Bond movies, have become so big and so successful is there's actually a degree of authenticity in all of them.

You'll meet the characters who made this organisation tick, from daring one-armed escapees to the inspiration for Ian Fleming's Q Branch. From SPYSCAPE, the HQ of secrets.

Lucy Fleming and Simon Williams give Rosebud a truly romantic Valentine's treat today, as they read the wartime letters of Lucy's parents: Celia Johnson, the great actress and star of Brief Encounter, and Peter Fleming, writer and older brother of Ian Fleming. The letters you hear in this episode were written from 1940 until VE Day, while Peter was away in Burma and India, working for Lord Wavell, and Celia was at home looking after their young son and becoming known as a film actress. In 1945 she plays the lead in Brief Encounter, one of the greatest British films ever made. These letters are so tender and evocative, and transport you to another time - one of bravery, decency and self-deprecation. Lucy and Simon are themselves married, and have been together for 40 years, and are both successful actors - Archers fans will, in particular, be very familiar with their voices! They talk to Gyles about their first memories, how they met, and tell Gyles the secret to a long and happy marriage. Lucy and Simon read these letters live on stage in their brilliant show, Posting Letters to the Moon, which is touring the UK now - tickets are available at https://www.postingletterstothemoon.com/tickets.

James Bond, Ian Fleming's irrepressible and ubiquitous ‘spy,' is often understood as a Cold Warrior, but James Bond's Cold War diverged from the actual global conflict in subtle but significant ways. That tension between the real and fictional provides perspectives into Cold War culture transcending ideological and geopolitical divides. The Bondiverse is complex and multi-textual, including novels, films, video games, and even a comic strip, and has also inspired an array of homages, copies, and competitors. Awareness of its rich possibilities only becomes apparent through a multi-disciplinary lens. The desire to consider current trends in Bondian studies inspired a conference entitled ‘The Bondian Cold War,' convened at Tallinn University, Estonia in June 2019. Conference participants, drawn from three continents and multiple disciplines – film studies, history, intelligence studies, and literature, as well as intelligence practitioners – offered papers on the literary and cinematic aspects of the ‘spy', discussed fact versus fiction in the Bond canon, went in search of a global Bond, and pondered gender and sexuality across the Bondiverse. The Bondian Cold War: The Transnational Legacy of a Cultural Icon (Routledge, 2024) is suitable for students, researchers, and anyone interested in Cold War culture, makes vital contributions to understanding Bond as a global phenomenon, across traditional divisions of East and West, and beyond the end of the Cold War from which he emerged.

Former Gambino family mobster Lou Ferrante joined us for an episode about his three volumes of research on the Mafia. He spoke of the alleged role of the Mob in the JFK assassination just as the files were about to be opened and he and Michael Krasny explored the ethos of the Mob -- the law of Omerta and the past frequency of so called "whackings," as well as the perks of being a mobster and such Cosa Nostra figures as John Gotti, Henry Hill and Joey Gallo. They spoke of politicians and the Mob and how the mob is portrayed in film and television and they exchanged humorous narratives as Ferrante told a funny personal tale and Krasny told a joke. Ferrante spoke of his prison experiences and how he became a writer while incarcerated, including the influence on him of historian Barbara Tuchman. Krasny asked Ferrante of analogies he made in print between the Kennedys and the Medicis and the episode concluded with Krasny drawing out a humorous story from Ferrante about Cuba, President John F Kennedy, Ian Fleming and the CIA's Allen Dulles, and asking Ferrante about the ultimate fate of Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa and what drives and inspires Ferrante to write.

Amid the chilling tension of the Cold War, Ian Fleming captured readers with his character James Bond, whose missions were based on his experiences with the elite and secretive 30 Assault Unit in WWII. 30AU was established in 1942 by British Naval Intelligence and was overseen by Fleming. Their role was to capture secret German documents, weapon blueprints, and communication codes from behind enemy lines. They often targeted command centres, labs, and bunkers to recover valuable information and technology before they could be destroyed by retreating Axis forces.Dan is joined on the podcast by historian Dave Roberts to uncover some of the true stories behind the plots of From Russia with Love, Moonraker and The Man With the Golden Gun, and the array of real commandos who inspired Fleming's Bond.Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal Patmore.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.
