Summaries

CBC-TV's ''701'' looks at the devoted fan following of Britain's famous fictional spy.

James Bond has quickly become one of the biggest characters in the history of popular fiction. The books are bestsellers and there's a devoted fan following. There's even a James Bond club in Toronto, where middle-aged men drink vodka martinis (shaken, not stirred) and generally just pretend to be Bond (without the gunplay and sex). So, what makes Bond so popular? CBC broadcaster and 007 reader Lister Sinclair offers his thoughts on the great appeal of the great spy.—CBC Official Synopsis
