DOMINIC Cooper is shaken, but not stirred as the creator of James Bond in this four-part mini-series, which broadcast on Sky Atlantic.
As a young man, Fleming (Cooper) harks from a wealthy family and enjoys the trappings of this privileged existence, attending various parties and seducing the female guests. Then the Second World War erupts and Fleming assumes the role of a Naval Intelligence Officer and discovers he has a natural flair for this battle war of wits.
Inspired by his experiences as part of the spy game and a series of affairs with married women, Fleming turns to the page and gives birth to the character and novels that will cement his name in literary history.
