Скачать или смотреть Shaken, Not Stirred | Goldeneye: The Jamaican home of 007 creator Ian Fleming | Ep. 89

James Bond is one of Britain's most iconic fictional characters, and without a doubt the most famous spy in the world. And the man behind the legend - author Ian Fleming - lived a life almost as thrilling as Bond's.

In this high-octane podcast episode, Rory guides Geoff through the life (and many country houses) of Fleming - from his time at Eton and Sandhurst, via his string of high-profile love affairs and service in WWII, to his love of the island nation of Jamaica. All fuelled, of course, by gallons of champagne and thousands of cigarettes.

It was at Goldeneye, Fleming's coastal estate in Jamaica, that the author would pen the first of his Bond novels - Casino Royale - in 1952, and it was at Goldeneye that all subsequent James Bond novels were written.
