    From what I can recall when this was first announced, 'Fleming' is a 4-part co-production by Sky Atlantic and BBC America and is set only during World War Two, ie focusing on Fleming's own spy experiences. It stars Dominic Cooper in the title role and I believe it's due to air towards the end of this year.

    The guys over at Mi6-HQ had posted an article about this a few days ago including production photos. Here is a link to it. http://gwtm.co.uk/11fF1Nw

    Well, it can be much worse than that monstrosity from a few years back with Sean Connery's son as Fleming. . .

    Just watched the trailer. Looks enjoyable, but I simply cannot imagine Dominic Cooper as Fleming. There's just no physical resemblance at all. I can accept a little bit of literary licence with the plot but I sincerely hope that Cooper has done his homework and is suitably plummy and affected otherwise I will have a huge problem even imagining that this is the Ian Fleming, and not just another playboy/gambler/spy of the same name!

    I wonder what music they will use for the opening sequence ?
    do you think the production team will have a piece composed, or do you think
    they will use an existing track,

    From a historical context, either the trailer is coblers, or the drama will be!

    Fleming was a gambler, and he created Bond. However he was never a spy himself. He was one of the tactical eggheads, who had a desk job in the Navy's intelligence HQ. He came up with plans, and did want to take part in the field, but Admiral Godfrey always refused. - Fleming was too valuable to risk in the field.

    I think Dominic Cooper will do well but in the end, this is drama not a documentary, so it will need to be taken with a massive pinch of salt!
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?
