Have you read "The Book Of Bond" by Kingsley Amis, TP? It covers that ground very well, in a nice tongue-in-cheek style.
Yes, that was my first thought on seeing the title of this thread in fact. I'm writing a little something on Amis' The Book of Bond that is due to appear on the blog soon. -{

it's hard but with the right motivation, like putting the money you would spend towards
a great holiday, or sound system, or the finishing touches to that underground Lair ! )
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."

As for Bond and Telly, I'd say yes Bond woud have a Big TV, given his reading material
has many refrence books, I'd say he'd watch mainly documentaries, current affairs and
news programmes.
I know he & May wouldn't have one around the place in FRWL, but in the modern world
with smart TVs etc. Fleming loved technology, so I'm sure Bond would too.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
May would watch Downton Abbey while Bond was in the office or overseas. I suspect she'd do so while wearing his undies, smoking his Morland's and drinking his Branch Water!
An episode of Gogglebox with Bond commenting on the shows. )
Although I think Bond would be far too busy chasing married women.
Drinking, gambling and general womanising to bother with TV , as soon
As he got home, it would be one last drink and into bed.

I found out that Work is selling Tiptree Strawberry Jam -{
That's good,but is it the little scarlet one ? .Little scarlet refers to a genus of strawberry that was originally grown in the U.S . MR Wilkin loved it so much ,he had the variety grown over here . It (the jam ) has more strawberries in it ,than any other strawberry jam on the market (no wonder Flemming.Bond liked it)
