Monochrome boxset and the Colour boxset <:-P So I'll be watching
The Saint for ages to come. :D I've already got the Return of the
Saint Boxset.
One day a lady arrived on set, He asked her name and she replied
Dorothy Squires, Mrs Moore. So he showed her to Roger's room. Later
Talking to Roger he said that his wife was waiting foe him, Roger asked
" Luisa " er? No he replied. Only to hear Roger cry " OH NO !" and run up
to his room. To find all his suits soaking in the Bath.
I guess Dorothy still was angry over the divorce.
appear in several adventures. I'm guessing because of the lack of American or
Canadian Actors in the UK.
Found this on Google about the car.
The aston has the same number plate as Goldfinger because it is the same car the db5 prototype used in the saint before it was adapted with gadgets for Goldfinger the same car also appeared with roger again in the cannon ball run although by then it had a different number plate given to it when aston martin resold it after the bond film
Sir Roger in Spectre . Fun fan trailer.
There's also the saying that "Elvis is the only person who ever looked good in bell bottoms." I think Roger could give him a run for his money.
Ultimate trailer.
Roger Moore Heroically Saved Britt Ekland From On Set Explosions In Bond

I love these photos, especially the last one which looks unposed, because they suggest that Roger rather took a shine to that blue outfit which Bond wears in the San Monique scenes and just took to wearing it himself :D
I agree with @mtm , some tough questions but I was happy
with the score of 6 I got, one less than the contestant :D
His Bonds are "Bond comfort food" for me. When I look for a slight relief from stress, a slight diversion from real life, I often pop in some of his Bonds and enjoy two hours of solid entertainment - often listening to his commentary tracks. Even though his portrayal was far from my preferential Bond he made the role his own, and like it has been said he was the most consistent of the actors in the role. Always top notch, always on point.
He was also a lot better actor than he or the critics admitted him to be. I mean, modeling for knitwear and not looking like an utter fool proves it! :D Apart from Bonds I really enjoy his work in The Persuaders!, The Wild Geese and North Sea Hijack. I've always had an opinion that his role in that dreadful comedy was not the first time he played a gay character - it could be argued that the character of ffolkes was gay, and playing the first gay action hero on screen is in itself commendable. So here's to you Sir Roger Moore, you were one of the good ones. Actually you were one of the best.
That's really unfortunate he ended the Bond franchise on a low note.

Haynes had first met his hero when he was seven years old and in an airport with his grandad.
He wrote: ‘As a seven year old in about 1983, in the days before First Class Lounges at airports, I was with my grandad in Nice Airport and I saw Roger Moore sitting at the departue gate, reading a paper. I told my grandad I’d just seen James Bond and asked if we could go over so I could get his autograph. My grandad has no idea who James Bond or Roger Moore were, so we walked over and he popped me in front of Roger Moore, with the words “my grandson says you’re famous. Can you sign this?

Giving autographs, allowing young fans to suspend their disbelief (he often confided to young Bond-fans that he was actually 007 and that 'Roger Moore' was just a cover)... forever appreciative of his incredibly lucky lot in life.
Roger was of course known for his wit and self-deprecation - when a bedroom scene was needed he famously turned to his female co-star and said, dryly:
"I'd like to apologize in advance if I get an erection during this....... - and if I don't."
Moore often joked (although he wasn't half wrong :> ) that he couldn't run or fight to save his life, even for the camera.
The thought him being James Bond was ludicrous to the man himself - but he never, ever, made light of what an honour it was to be entrusted with this iconic piece of cinematic heritage, and he was never dismissive - Roger was incredibly respectful of how important 007 was to all fans, young or old.
I guess the unavoidable onset of age-related cynicism, along with a heightened appreciation for the craft that Dalton and Craig brought to the role made me, for a while at least, more critical & dismissive of Moore's sometimes goofy and more often than not tongue-in-cheek take on the character.
But it is exactly as I age, become (fractionally...) better at being a father, husband, friend and - hopefully - better at being a human being, that I have come to appreciate Roger Moore's credo and contribution to the world of James Bond, a whole lot mo(o)re - life is far too short to take yourself - or work - too seriously. People are what matters most.
The man was a great ambassador for the James Bond universe during the 2nd half of his life, and it is fitting I think to consider his most life-affirming quote, which shows him for what he truly was - a star for the people, a genuinely heartwarming man, and above all else, a great humanist:
- "Teach love, generosity, good manners and some of that will drift from the classroom to the home and who knows, the children will be educating the parents..."
Sir Roger Moore (1927 - 2017)
