I have only just watched my recording of The Real Casino Royale, which aired on BBC4.
It was a little gem of a programme which concentrated on how Fleming came to write the book. It included the longest extract of the 1963 interview with Fleming at Goldeneye I've seen (the footage looked like it had been cleaned up quite a bit, too); extracts from all three screen CRs; an examination of Bond's Bentley from the early books; and a decent interview with Daniel Craig. It was a super hour; intelligently made and respectful. It even ended up at Fleming's grave.
Do watch out for a repeat, because it was well worth seeing.
