    He is my Bond and ,having met him twice and had a good chat,seeing he is exactly the legend and person we hoped he would be,even off screen plus his Bond Ambassador work,he deserves it more than anyone.
    But even me, a person who can tell you he is as brilliant off screen as on ,and will promote and protect his image is sure he WONT be mentioned.

    One of the things I'm hoping for when NTTD hits the silver screen in April, is to read "In Loving Memory of Roger Moore" when the end credits start to roll.

    A nice nod to the man who made seven movies and was a great spokesperson for the series in the years that followed.

    I think it should be the tradition when each Bond actor passes away.

    I hope so too, and I think there's a good chance of it happening. They don't really seem to like doing that, we've had some unforgiveable snubs (two that I can remember from my lifetime: Goldeneye should have been dedicated to Harry Saltzman, and Skyfall John Barry). But I think this will be different. Even ignoring what a genuinely lovely and brilliant person he was, he was Bond. Too important to not give a dedication imo. The two I mentioned were too, but Moore was the face of the brand for years and is still the definitive Bond to many. Don't think they could get away with not somehow paying tribute.

    A little nod of some sort in the film would be nice too, but that I really can't see happening. Actually, if wanted to bring back an old car, they should have used Moore's Lotus instead of Dalton's V8. I know, pipe dream, branding and product placement and all that stuff means that Bond will always drive an Aston for the time being. But that would have been a nice tribute.

    It a shame. He not here to see the latest 007 movie No time to Die or seeing Daniel Craig farewell the James Bond 007 franchise. I hope Daniel Craig does it in Roger Moore style departure well as movie.

    There has not been any better ambassador for the James Bond brand than Roger Moore. He appreciated the role and you see it on screen. I am certain a „in loving memory“ note will be present.

    I’ll be raising a toast to Sir Rog today, 92 years old and I’m sure he’s looking down on this thread with an arched eyebrow and a witty one-liner! 🍸image.jpg

    Really need to get myself those Saint box sets.

    In celebration of Sir Roger's birthday I've been watching the first half of OP. Started watching the film a bit late, and I've been a bit tired all day, so I'm saving that last (and very entertaining) half for tomorrow.

    There is a app on Roku that has all six seasons of The Saint for free, I am watching the episode with Shirley Eaton now, the episode starts when the characters meet in a Casino ;))

    What app is that? Don't have Roku myself.

    I think I might've watched that episode at some point. Which season is it, again?

    Don't think Roku is available over here, unfortunately. TV shows on Apple Store aren't (or wasn't the last time I checked). Might be worth getting a box set of the series though!

    Thanks! Must have been years since I watched that episode. Can't remember where I watched it though; I don't think The Saint has been on TV here for a very long time. It was probably online.

    There are a lot of random channels on Freeview in the UK that regularly play older shows likeThe Saint and The Avengers etc, often when I am working at night I stumble on them channel hopping. Can you not pick up any UK channels yourself? I have found apps that allow you to watch TV from allover the world, also there is the VPN option...

    Never tried looking for apps that provides you with the opportunity to watch foreign channels. If any of those apps are available here it might be worth looking into. Thanks again!

    No problem just look in the TV sections of which ever App stores you use, you may find something, every few months I do a thorough check of App stores just to see if there is anything new I can use.
