BBC to produce Ian Fleming mini-series

The BBC is set to produce a mini-series documenting the life of James Bond creator Ian Fleming.
Provisionally entitled "Fleming," miniseries is set during WWII when the maverick and hedonistic Fleming was hired by British Naval intelligence as part of its undercover campaign against the Nazis, after his careers as a banker and stockbroker failed.

It was these wartime experiences that provided the inspiration for British spy 007, who first appeared in print in "Casino Royale," published in 1953. Like his character, Fleming was well known in English society for his womanizing and taste for alcohol.
