The Ian Fleming Centenary presents The Story of James Bond – A Tribute to Ian Fleming, at the London Palladium Theatre on Sunday 5 October 2008. Arranged for the family by Ian Fleming’s niece, Lucy Fleming this unique and glamorous evening will mark the final event in the Ian Fleming Centenary year.

The evening will be presented by Joanna Lumley and Stephen Fry, and stars from the worlds of film and theatre will revel in everything Bond: the villains, the cars, the guns, the gadgets and of course… the girls. A 60-piece orchestra will accompany some of the biggest names in music as they perform their favourite Bond themes, whilst actors and celebrities bring Fleming’s words to life, including material never heard before.

A sneak preview clip from the new film, Quantum of Solace, along with other surprises will cap off an unmissable night: the grand finale to Ian Fleming’s centenary year, and a show with a license to thrill…and amuse.

The evening will star Samantha Bond, Christopher Cazenove, Sharon D.Clarke, Shirley Eaton, Sebastian Faulks, Dave Gilmour, Eunice Gayson, Tony Hadley, Kit Hesketh-Harvey, Charlie Higson, Laura Michelle Kelly, Beverley Knight, Jeremy Irons, Lemar, Lee Mead, Roger Moore, Mica Paris, Rosamund Pike, Joely Richardson, Ruby Turner, Toby Stephens, Patrick Stewart, David Suchet, Issy van Randwyck, Harriet Walter * and more to be announced shortly. With appearances from Classic Bond girls, the support of The Broccoli family, John Barry and David Arnold this will be an extraordinary one-off performance.
