Ian Fleming (the real one)
The Timeless episode with a plot that includes James Bond creator Ian Fleming is scheduled to air Monday on NBC.
The series concerns a trio of time-traveling heroes trying to prevent a villain from changing history. The Fleming episode, titled Party at Castle Varlar, is set during World War II.
In a brief description ON THE SHOW’S WEBSITE, we’re told the trio “teams up with Ian Fleming.”
An online NBC schedule has a slightly more detailed summary: “The trio land in Nazi Germany and track evildoer Flynn as World War II rages around them. They also meet the man behind a popular figure of literature and they must endure a very uncomfortable party.”
Shawn Ryan, a creator of the show, posted on Twitter that, “You’re going to want to get caught up on” the first three episodes of the series “before next Monday when 007 author Ian Fleming joins the fun!”
The episode is scheduled for 10 p.m. Eastern time on Monday.

Every episode of this show they radically change history. The Hindenburg didn’t crash. Booth did not shoot Lincoln. So don’t be surprised if Fleming never writes the Bond novels and the movies are never made.
