The Best of British - Roger Moore TV Special Part 1/5

There's been many TV specials on Sean Connery over the years but few and far between dedicated to Roger Moore. This episode from The Best of British series makes up for that, it was broadcast on BBC1, 22 October 1999.
His extensive career is covered, including Ivanhoe, The Saint, The Persuaders, Bond and his charity work for UNICEF. Also there is a rare chance to see some other clips from lesser known films and the amusing scene from the first episode of the Persuaders -- at the bar.
Lois Maxwell, Jane Seymour, Michael Caine, Bryan Forbes, John Glen & Hal Needham contribute to the anecdotes.

1977 was when The Spy Who Loved Me came out wasn't it?

I met Roger Moore once and he was very friendly and approachable. I have been a great fan of his ever since.

Roger Moore is definitely most modest and friendly Bond.

My favorite Bond as well...and I grew up with Sean Connery as Bond. And of course, Moore's work as The Saint is legend here in the U.S.

@lolwut121 Roger Moore was MY James Bond. He always will be. Sean Connery IS James Bond. But when he was new to the part for Audiences to meet 007 for the First Time when James Bond was New it was half a Generation before me. James Bond 007 : The One ands Only Roger Moore. Suave, Sophisticated, Classy ands Gentlemanly and Utterly Handsome. His Portrayal as Mr. Bond was Warm and Friendly, Ice Cold, Dangerous, and Slightly Comical .

I got Roger Moore's Autograph in November 2008. I said hello, He signed my Auto. His Wife Nodded at me out & Smiled. I nodded Politely at her and acknowledged her as a Person. Mr. Moore adn I shook hands. Then as he left with his wife.I Told him to" get home Safely, Sir". His exact words to me as I caught him offguard were, " Why , Thank You." It is very hard to Forget that. His Thick Voice spoke with Sincerity. I guided him and his Wife down the stairs to Skip he , Dirty Cargo Service Elevator
