I don’t know what you’re talking about. Nothing. Never heard of it. It’s a shame, really; it was one of Fleming’s better stories.
Stranger
Advanced case of "Sequel that never happened-itis " you’ve got there. Nasty. You probabley would like to know about a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, “The Royale”, which involves crewmembers beaming down to a planet where they discover a holographic recreation of a novel about a hotel and casino called The Royale, and must respond to the simulation based on clues in the book. There are no specific similarities to the Fleming story, although there has been speculation it might have inspired the setting.
Anyway, James Bond (January 4, 1900 – February 14, 1989) is a bird watcher. He wrote the definate book on the subject, “Birds of the West Indies”, whih makes an apperrence in “Die Another Day” Since Ian Fleming took Bond’s name without permission, he gave Bond’s family the rights to Fleming’s name.
I see the OP never specified screen presentations… Bending of the fourth wall is common in some comic strips. Fox Trot does this a lot, for example: On the day that Attack of the Clones was released, Jason comes home from seeing the movie. Peter asks him if he liked it.
“Peter, please. It was a Star Wars movie. What are the odds that I wouldn’t like it?”
“About the same as the odds of Lucas inviting a cartoonist to a pre-screening two months in advance so he could say something meaningful about it?”
“Well, OK, maybe not quite that low.”
Ziggy also plays with the fourth wall a lot, but I can’t recall any specific example there where it was just bent, not broken.
One of my favorites, again from an Arrested Development last year:
When Michael was breaking up with the PR lady he was dating, she taunted him: “What’re you going to do about it, Opie?” Narrator Ron Howard chimed in, “She had gone too far now, and had best watch her mouth!”
Another reason I simply do not watch that show while drinking milk.
Yeah, it is about all kinds of fiction. You know, while we are on comics strips, I recall a storyline in an online comic,Savvie and Lacey , (about a cute couple, (who just so happen to be women, and are into S&M) in which one of the characters breaks the first wall. It is then **unbroken **again, in such a way that it still counts in this thread. I will not say how, as I do not want to ruin the surprise. It was done as part of “Webcomic Awareness 2003”
Herein lies the tale
Pogo did this a lot. Once strip from 1957 has Owl and Churchy standing in water. Churchy asks why, and Owl says, “It keeps the artist (heh heh) from haffin’ to draw our feet.” At which point, Churchy sticks his feet in the air.
There’s also the classic series of strips from 1959 when Bear set up his own comic strip. He writes the script (though, of course, Bear can’t read, so he needs someone to read it to him). In the final strip, Churchy shoots him. When he says he’s dead, Churchy says, “Dead? How can you be dead in a comic strip? A comic strip is like a dream. . . a tissue of paper reveries. . . it gloms an’ glimmers its way through unreality, fancy, and fantasy.”
God, I miss Walt Kelly. 
There’s an episode of Moesha where they’re going to a Brandy concert and everyone comments on how much Moesha sessambles the singers. Brandy’s own brother mistakes her for the real thing and lets her into Brandy’s dressing room. They used another actress to play Brandy.
Speaking of Fox Trot, I remember one strip which starts off with four pictures of a bowl of fruit. One starts off as very realist, with the next couple getting more cartoon-ish and the last is in the style of the strip. Paige’s mom looks at them and remarks “I see your painting is becoming more realistic.”
On the show Yes Dear, there was an episode where one of the kids isn’t reading up to his level. It turns out the main characters had each hit him on the head when he was a baby.
They take him to the doctors and everything is ok.
In the final scene, the kid is sitting on the counter and the uncle walks in. He says something likem “look, since we broke your kid, we got you something” He walks out and walks back in with a duplicate kid. Puts him on the counter and picks up the old one and walks out with him.
It’s making fun of the fact that kids on TV are normally played by twins.
WKRP in Cincinnati (for my money the funniest sitcom ever):
Bailey asks Travis why he decided to take the job as Program Director at WKRP when he’d been so many other bigger stations. Andy replies “Well, I got kind of tired of packing and unpacking…town to town…up and down the dial…”
Which is, of course, lines from the shows opening credits song.
The other “Ocean’s” movies had scenes that strained the “fourth wall.” In Ocean’s 11 (2001), Rusty (Brad Pitt) teaches three rather clueless actors how to play poker. The actors are Topher Grace, Joshua Jackson, and Holly Marie Combs playing themselves. Also, at the very end of the original 1960 Ocean’s Eleven, the main characters walk past a large casino marquee with the names of the film’s stars–Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis Jr., and Joey Bishop–on it.
Blazing Saddles while it shatters the 4th wall quite a bit I like how they keep calling him Hedy Lamarr for no apparant reason. Well they do make a joke about that but later on.
And speaking of that movie
“A Black sherriff?”
“And why not? It worked in Blazing Saddles”
quote from Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Also in the first season when Michael hires a publicist, she calls George Michael “Opie(sp?)” at which point Ron Howard says that she went too far.
Ron Howard played Opie.
In the old newspaper comic strip BC, Johnny Hart set up a very bad pun, to which his character replied “I wouldn’t touch a straight line like that for a free trip to Pismo Beach!”
Pismo Beach was the ususal site for the annual Cartoonist’s Award Banquet.

There was an episode of “Yes, Dear” (an otherwise bleah show) where they looked at the camera as if it were the fourth wall and kept trying to move furniture in front of it or hang pictures on it, but nothing seemed to feel right. Eventually they just moved everything back to normal on the set and continued. Pretty effective use of bending the wall.
This was exactly what I meant to post.
Another from Airplane!:
When Robert Hayes and Julie Haggerty are having their discussion before they get on the plane, she says, “I can’t live with a man I can’t respect,” and walks off.
Hayes looks at the camera and says, “What a pisser.”
So that’s why Bugs Bunny was always talking about it (Pismo Beach)! Ya learn something new every day!
In one episode of St. Elsewhere Dr. Mark Craig, played by William Daniels, has badly injured his hand. He travels to Philadelphia with his wife, to consult with a surgeon associate who specializes in hands.
It’s in the summer. As the doctor and his wife are walking along outside she asks him, “Mark, why did we have to come to Philadelphia in the summer? It’s too damned hot!” He sings a couple of lines about how “It’s hot as hell in Philadelphia!”
The actor William Daniels played John Adams in the movie version of 1776, in which that song appears.
IIRC, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” switched out aunts after one of the seasons.
In the first episode of the new season with the new aunt, the running gag was that only Will Smith could tell that the aunt had been replaced. Everybody else thought it was business as usual – her husband, her kids, everybody but Will.
On an episode of Chicago Hope - actually a crossover ep with the other David Kelly show at the time, Picket Fences - the mother from PF tells Hector Elizondo’s character during a dispute over someone’s treatment, “We’ll just go to that other hospital,” to which Elizondo objects, “Oh, please, don’t go there”.
This was a sideways reference to the other Chicago-hospital-based drama on TV at the time, a little known show by the name of ER. Otherwise known as “that show that pimp-slapped Chicago Hope in the ratings, then pissed on its grave.”
I know it would be a throw-away gag, after that first episode, but what a horrible existence it would be, to have one small thing unearthly about your world, and not to have anyone else acknowledge that fact.
