We’ll continue in the theatre …

With readings of extracts from books by Bond actors throughout, as we introduce: Jon Turner to discuss his mentor Richard Chopping’s designs for Fleming’s James Bond books and archive (which he curates) as well as Ian Fleming biographer Andrew Lycett will discussing all things Ian Fleming.

David Lowbridge-Ellis will then host interviews and discussions with continuity authors Raymond Benson, Charlie Higson, 00-series author Kim Sherwood, Young Bond author Steve Cole and (pending filming commitments) Anthony Horowitz.

Lunch will follow and then we’ll move into the Pinewood Picture Gallery for book signings, mingling, informal chat, some memorabilia tables and a talk about Pinewood filming locations by author Dave Worrall on the garden patio, before afternoon tea brings the day to a close.
