"That's as bad as listening to The Beatles without earmuffs."

Oops. Sorry, wrong Ian Fleming-named spy.

I've been working my way through my boxed set of TMFU since last June. I haven't got to the colour episodes yet, but it helps pass the time while waiting for solid news about B23.

If you haven't done so yet, you might want to check out "The Cloak and Swagger Affair" documentary. It deals with the origins of the show, includes a clip from a 1997 interview that Norman Felton did where he describes his meetings with Ian Fleming. There are also images of the telegram blanks where Fleming wrote his ideas as well as the quitclaim where Fleming signed away his rights for 1 British pound.
