By far the best Bond. That eyebrow could say more than most actors manage in a lifetime.
Indeed mate. My favourite Bond in my favourite Bond film, Live and Let Die. Sad but a great innings though.
Yep another good one gone mate. Been a bad 7 days with Nicky Hayden aswell 
I quite agree, he brought humour to the Bond role.

Most of the others seemed to take it too seriously, but Roger? And was that a name or an ambition? Answers on a postcard please.

fuzz and the tit. Nope, I'm not googling that
Was my hero too Tony, more for the Persuaders than anything else which was aired when I was at school. I wanted to be an international playboy driving a pedigree car - still waiting :-( Saw Live and Let Die about 13 times when I had a Saturday night job at the cinema when at school. I went to see him at Buxton Opera House about 3 years ago doing his "An evening with Sir Roger Moore" was really good actually seeing him for real. His death didn't even make TV news. Feel very saddened.

Very sad, not my favourite Bond but was an avid follower of the Persuaders, I mean come on he drove an original DBS nuff said.
Afraid so mate.I remember watching the saint as a kid,played by Roger Moore. Saw him on car SOS when he signed the drivers seat of a p1800 that fuzz and the tit were restoring.
A real proper English gent.
@Grumpy I didn't know Nicky Hayden had died till I saw your post
I was just about to reply here when I got a Skype call from Frankie Adrian, it did make the BBC news but as you can imagine today's news has been fairly focused on last night's events.

That very episode has just started on National Geographic as a tribute to Roger Moore.I remember watching the saint as a kid,played by Roger Moore. Saw him on car SOS when he signed the drivers seat of a p1800 that fuzz and the tit were restoring.

Funny name to call a car!
Sean Connery was the best Bond in my humble opinion. Roger Moore was a nice chap, but raising an eyebrow is not acting. He was wooden to say the least.....

Different strokes mate. Connery was good, Moore was just a different slant. Daniel Craig is the best Bond I think but his films were totally different again, darker, more serious.

Not into Bond films anymore, they have run there course.
Went to see Sky Fall at the cinema when it came out....yawn,,,,action films are 10 a penny these days.
Loved Persuaders though when I was a kid, with that token Yank, so they could sell it over there as well.
Also liked the Saint and just loved the P1800, nearly bought one many years ago now, wish I had.
Sir Roger Moore was crap as Bond, turned it into a comedy series.
The only true Bond for me was Sean Connery.
