How sad. A gent.
Indeed, I was just reading that. Man with golden gun was on in my daughters on sunday and I was just talking about him to her. Hart to believe that film was so long ago..1974 i think
he was 89 so a good age and liked a bevvy

Not my favourite Bond as there was increasingly a silliness, that crept in and became too comedic, but Live and Let Die, and Man with the Golden Gun are good films. Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker not so much.
For me - controversially - George Lazenby is my favourite, probably in part because On Her Majesty's Secret Service is such a good film.
I liked him in the Saint.

Seemed to be a decent human but guilty of the most horrendous crimes against fashion.
The Persuaders should be X-rated for its dodgy wardrobe!

'The Spy Who Loved Me' was the best film ever made. Alan Partridge agrees.
A good age but still really sad. He was a class act.

My childhood was often spent tape recording all the bond films as they were on the tv, and pausing the adverts out. Remember that. I used to like Roger best because of the humour and it was of my era. I wish Bond wasn't so serious as it is now.
I loved the spy who loved me and the man with the golden gun, and when in Thailand visited scaramangas island in phang nga. The mushroom rock with the sun antenna and the beach at the start where the Bond girl is sunning herself.
I think Roger Moore would have been a fantastic dinner guest. I remember someone pointing out his big chalet when I was in crans Montana in Switzerland skiiing, where he lived most of the year.
Can't believe the BBC haven't made more of news about him but obviously bigger stories today. I hope they do a good programme because we've surely lost a national treasure today. RIP Sir Roger Moore.
Just been watching him in 'The Persuaders' on True Entertainment channel.
They should do a season or at least a retrospective thingy.

I liked Roger Moore. His natural humour always showed in his acting. He was a pretty good bloke in his private life too.
love it :)
