James Bond & Bond Girls Discussion Thread

Daily diary?
Hmm(shoots a dart from it) deadly daily diary!

Ah yes the great Sir Roger Moore, the first Bond to die which is a real shame as he was a gentleman, a great actor and of course the longest reigning James Bond-that title now passes to Sean Connery, not that he would want it like that. He had a wicked sense of humour and could do a few impressions including Sean. I only just watched him in a few re-runs of 'The Persuaders' with his side kick Tony Curtis, who was the one who got the top billing "Curtis & Moore" as the caption says in the opening title sequence. Some people found his later Bonds to be too jokey and I think he realised the jig was up when Octopussy came out and he looked too old to play 007. He was very good in 'North Sea Hijack' as the cantankerous Rufus who didn't like women but loved cats! And he tried to be ruthless as a German in the comedy war film 'Escape to Athena' He was very funny in 'The Cannonball Run' where he sent up his James Bond persona as 'Seymour' When he reaches those pearly gates I am sure he will still "keeping the British end up" RIP Sir Rog.
