After the show, I managed to get my SE DVD of FYEO signed by the man! Couldn't be happier. :D
The show ended with a wonderful piece from Sir Roger about his work with UNICEF. The first part concentrates on his pre-Bond career and was actually very interesting and filled with funny stories. I'm not sure I learned anything new about his Bond run (the "Egyptian builders" story being the exception) but when he delivers THAT line on stage, you know you've just had an evening to remember. Terrific and the show in Aberdeen ran for nearly three hours.
Indeed, it's a truly unique and outstanding moment to hear the line from the man himself, standing just a few feet in front of you.
I wouldn't say he seems frail on his feet though. On the contrary, I was impressed by how well he's holding up. For an 89-year-old he seems really well. God bless him.
Meeting Sir Roger Moore would be a dream come true for me. I've been a huge fan for as long as I can remember.
Full marks to you , sir. You mustve been very lucky , based on my experience at Wolverhampton, where he signed for nobody after the show. I have also seen a few photos from the meet & greet. Just looked like Sir Roger sat at a table only signing the programme. For that money I would've wanted a proper Bond photo signed. Didn't look like he stood up to do a photo either.
@MrBenn, it is indeed a shame he doesn't do photographs. But I do agree with @barryt007. At his age it would be at least difficult for him. I was fortunate enough to be in London in October 2012, where he did a book signing for Bond on Bond. It was exactly as you described; Sir Rog sitting behind a table, signing copies of the book. My friend managed to grab a picture of him signing my copy, but nothing more than that. Well, except for his comment on my attire, which was another brilliant highlight of my life as a Bond fan.
When he saw the t-shirt he said "That's me!". I mumbled something like "Of course" and he replied "Very nice".
In itself it is a trivial exchange, but the idea that the great man himself commented on a t-shirt depicting him is wonderful.
She does....looks like we both had a nice personal moment with a Bond legend @gt007

It's just Rog being Rog.
His Bond was kind of like Wests Batman where he focused on the preposdterous things about Bond : for a secret agent he sure was well known , etc.
Heck, even his name is an innuendo.
Moore at 89, and Prince Philip at 95, still going strong, and still keeping the British end up.
Sir Roger can play Mr Craig's Grandpa in Bond No 25. The resemblances between the two are striking! ......not! ha ha!
Naturally Roger being Roger asked if Schofield would like to rephrase that.
Superb.
"Wild animals in real life must feel as if they've been captured by the fictional Dr No. When they're not being forced to perform confusing tricks under threat of the whip they're chained up or tied down. Until a ban is imposed, Britain continues to say 'Roll up, roll up' to abuse. Madam Prime Minister, it's time - past time - to do the right thing and finally bring in a ban on this outdated form of so-called entertainment. I will put in a bottle of Dom Perignon '52 or Bollinger '69 on ice for the occasion and gladly pop the cork with you."
He's still recovering from this terrifying episode:
In all seriousness, good on ya Sir Rog.
Obviously Rog is very dedicated to this cause (his fois-gras campaign video is hard-hitting) but I have to admit I feel a little uneasy about the use of Bond references in a letter that addresses a serious issue like this. I seems rather inappropriate and feels like they were included purely for PR purposes and to make newspaper readers smile.
'When Bhaskar later met Moore, he told him of his devotion. Roger paused, and pretended to look cross. "You owe me £4.50," he demanded.'
And I agree,Bhaskar would be good in a Bond film .
Btw I love your profile name,a nice nod to Alan Partridge in his Bond Marathon episode....classic.
The Partridge Bond episode is superb. I also love the fact that Alan had a photograph of Roger Moore on a side table at his room at the Travel Tavern. He would fit in well in this thread!
I could certainly see Sanjeev Bhaskar working at MI6. Sounds as if that would be a childhood dream come true for the actor. He still owes Rog £4.50, though. We can't let that slip.
