Nicholas Shakespeare's fascinating biography, with unprecedented access to the Fleming family papers, uncovers new material and throws new light on an extraordinary man. Fleming would strive all his life to throw off the shadow of his gifted older brother, and be a complete man, but ultimately was then overshadowed by his own famous creation.
3. Writing Bond
All the elements that motivated and inspired Fleming to create Bond conspire at Goldeneye, his Jamaican retreat, where he can at last start writing his novels.

Street philosophy with award-winning historian and broadcaster Bettany Hughes. She begins each programme with the first, extant evidence of a single word-idea in Ancient Greek culture and travels both forwards and backwards in time, investigating how these ideas have been moulded by history, and how they've shaped us. A history of ideas described as “a double espresso shot of philosophy, history, science and the arts.”
2. Harmony
Bettany explores changing ideas about harmony through time at an opera rehearsal, in a garden, in mythology and on the battlefield.
