Ian Fleming
How similar was he to his hero, James Bond, when it came to the women in his own life?

One hundred years on from the birth of Ian Fleming we examine the author’s relationships with the women in his personal life. For many fans, Ian Fleming and James Bond are all but synonymous, but, ‘Quantum of Solace’, the poetic title of the latest Bond film, now suggests the author was a far more complex and sensitive man than the cold hearted hero 007 he is associated with through the films. Lucy Fleming, Ian Fleming’s niece, and biographer John Pearson, join Sheila McClennon tomorrow to discuss the women in Ian Fleming’s life.
