 A shortage of cash was the principal reason why , in 1953 , Waugh agreed to be interviewed on radio by the BBC , first in the Overseas Service 's Personal Call programme and then in the Frankly Speaking series . The second of these was broadcast on the BBC Home Service on 16 November 1953 . Most of Waugh 's friends thought he had acquitted himself well , and he was mildly pleased with the result , writing to Nancy Mitford that " they tried to make a fool of me and I don 't think they entirely succeeded " . Nevertheless , the broadcasts preyed on Waugh 's mind ; he saw hostility in the attitudes of his interlocutors , a point noted by his 13 @-@ year @-@ old son Auberon Waugh , who later wrote that the interviews " drove my father mad " .

 Fleming 's second non @-@ fiction book was published in November 1963 : Thrilling Cities , a reprint of a series of Sunday Times articles based on Fleming 's impressions of a number of world cities in trips taken during 1959 and 1960 . Approached in 1964 by producer Norman Felton to write a spy series for television , Fleming provided several ideas , including the names of characters Napoleon Solo and April Dancer , for the series The Man from U.N.C.L.E. However , Fleming withdrew from the project following a request from Eon Productions , who were keen to avoid any legal problems that might occur if the project overlapped with the Bond films .
