James Bond show at Imperial War Museum

Ian Fleming
"Times Online has teamed up with Imperial War Museum London to offer you an interactive sneak preview of its brand new For Your Eyes Only exhibition which features an array of fascinating material, much on public display for the first time.

The exhibition explores the early life of Ian Fleming, his wartime career and work as a journalist and travel writer and how, as an author, he drew upon his own experiences to create the iconic character of James Bond that continues to have global appeal.

Click the link below to launch our interactive sneak preview of the exhibition, which also includes audio commentary by Times writer-at-large Ben Macintyre, who has also written the accompanying exhibition book."

BBC Radio 4 will mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of James Bond creator Ian Fleming with the first full-length radio adaptation of Dr No, starring Toby Stephens and David Suchet.
The drama, which airs on May 24, will also star Samuel West, John Standing, Martin Jarvis and Peter Capaldi.
