It was a wonderful event; he was extremely lucid and witty throughout. And at the end I managed to get a copy of his book signed by him and exchange one or two words with the great man. Marvellous memories.
Enjoy yourself tonight, @RogueAgent... :)
Not gonna give too much away but 2 nice little tidbits of information. One was that he never watches his own 007 films but his wife Kristina ( Who was sat only 2 seats away from me!! ) does as she has not seen all of his films. ;)) He did say that one day last week he sat and watched The Living Daylights, and said what a great Bond Timothy Dalton was. Which drew a big approval of applause from the whole audience.
The second was that Sir Roger CONFIRMED that a new series of The Saint is currently in planning by his eldest Geoffrey who is running the project!
For shows and prices check his website. Mine were £22.50 per person. Well worth it too! :-bd
Thanks for the information @RogueAgent, I'm really glad you enjoyed yourself.
"When jaws had his hand round your face, did you ever shit yourself?" - I didnt know whether to laugh or cry..what a bizarre question that was. :-/
Great venue and Rog was on great form for a very busy 84 yr old. God love him. :-)
My personal favourite part was Roger's story concerning where he and Cubby Broccoli visited Maurice Binder whilst filming the titles! And the infamous vaseline! What a brilliant story that was! Had tears in my eyes on that one. That's 2 Bonds i have seen in person now.
What an amazing man and life he has had. We saw a true legend and a true gentleman last night! Glad you enjoyed too as much as we did! :D
We did indeed see a true gentleman last night, Cheers Rogue glad you enjoyed it too mate!
Enjoy the show Myworldisenough (Y)
Cheers friend, I know I will. What question to ask though? It'll have to be Bond related, the only trouble is there's so many, many questions I would love to ask!

I got back about 1am and dived straight into TSWLM. Brilliant.
You and your Dad will have a great time sharky. Be sure to let us all know your thoughts once you have been? :-bd
It's late I'm tired but two interesting Bond related things he said...
He thought DAF was hilarious and Connery's best (that's how it came across anyway) and he saw a screening of Skyfall yesterday - which he's insistent makes Craig the best Bond ever in his eyes (surpassing Connery).
Oh and Eunice Gayson was sat just behind me.
That quality is much better than my video (I was sat further back).
Least Sir Roger recognises a great Bond film and likes DAF. Met him yesterday at Bluewater...what a man, what a legend
*BA DOOM BOP*
Do they like Bond? Will they know who he is? Because he recounts a lot of old stories involving stars of the past.
I had the pleasure of attending the show in Southampton today, the content was pretty much as already discussed, and as always his charm, candour and humour came shining through!
The vast majority of the show was on his career other than Bond and that's fair enough, also I think this was deliberate as most audience questions were Bond related.
He gave a wonderful story about Desmond Llewellyn, saying how he would get the director, cast and crew in on a wind-up of poor Desmond that there was a last minute script change, apparently "Q" was very particularly studious on knowing his lines before he got on set :D
He did use the stage to talk about his work with UNICEF including some of the disturbing things he has seen in his excellent work on its behalf, quite heart wrenching.
He did reaffirm the already quoted line from previous, that having now seen Skyfall he considers DC as "the best Bond yet and ever will be" and, that Skyfall will go down as the best movie yet.
For me the highlight was when he was talking about his characters (the saint, persuaders etc) how they were almost cartoon fiction not as "real" as DC's Bond. He referred to each role and topped it with a line or hummed the theme tune......then about playing 007 he said "and of course, I had the line "The name's Bond.......James Bond....".
I heard the man say THAT line, in person......I am soooo grateful.
^:)^
Great day out topped off by getting a book signed by the great man himself and having a little chat with him, if only for a matter of seconds!
