Not the most enlightening programme, basically Fleming lived in Jamaica, philandered a bit, wrote one book a year, tried to live a bit like Bond to make the stories more "real".
Lots of clips of various Bond movies.

It probably did make the writing easier.

A friend of mine had his 1st book published a few yrs ago, a thinly veiled autobiography. It was quite good, his subsequent novels, pure fiction just didn't ring true.
