R.I.P. Roger Moore 007

Raily, NBC screened a number of series in prime time but, it would have been before you were a sparkle in your father's eye. [wink11]

Volvo willingly supplied a number of P 1800s, the first one, less than a month after the initial request.
Aston Martin was the first choice of vehicle, by the producers, but AM denied the request.
Volvo was a little known manufacturer, outside of Scandinavia, at the time. The newly released P 1800 was Volvo's first venture into the sports car market, previously producing staid, solid vehicles.

Simon Templar gave Volvo more publicity than the company could have bought.

Roger Moore. A good name for a Bond actor.

I listened to an 8 year old radio interview with Roger Moore this morning and he said he played Bond in that fashion as he thought the whole thing was farcical. As he did 7 Bond films he must have been doing something right.
I too liked the Saint and The Persuaders" good stuff with a touch of the unbelievable.
Vale Roger Moore.

I play in a band with a few like minded musos and we have often played under the name "Let's Roger Moore". Will have to do the next gig as a memorial show.

It's interesting to think of the different style each actor brought to Bond. Moore was certainly suave and had the raised eyebrow. Daniel Craig was muscular.
