He`s certainly in character, he doesn`t talk like that in interviews, Moore used to go into his Bond character for kids he`d meet at airports, he was the most fan friendly Bond of all, great stuff.
Lovely generous loving gentleman who appreciated his luck and love of his fans ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@fluorosco He was one of those wonderful modest actors who think they're boring, and so pour themselves into their characters.
@@davidjames579 He really was. Great fun on and off the silver screen 🇬🇧👍
Did Connery do any of that? Nothing about him says kid friendly lol
@@nickslade3978 Not sure, but he did manage to shake off type casting post Bond and become one of the biggest stars ever. Moore got mostly trash after Bond. Not that he was getting stellar offers during it. Bit of stigma I think from executives due to his lower brow Bond movies.
Roger was 60 when this was made and he looked great! Everything I've read about Sir Roger says he was very down to earth and a pleasure to work with. Sad day when we lost him, RIP Roger we miss you.
Missed terribly. Should have made twice sa many Bond movies
There isnt enought Roger Moore-Bond Movies
It's still funny that Roger was 5 years older than Sean Connery andit still felt like he was a much younger actor overtaking the role
@@armandovalmont9762 Three years older.
@@armandovalmont9762 3 years. But as he was set to end by for your eyes only, he should have.
Octopussy and view to a kill was overdo.
Tim Dalton in view to a kill would have been epic
Moore might not have been my favorite Bond actor, but he definitely is the best ambassador for the series. He was never ashamed or reticent about promoting the Bond franchise. I loved it when he hosted the top 10 Bond film moments in 2002
Roger Moore isn’t my favorite Bond but he is 100% the best ambassador the character has ever had. Connery and Lazenby are bitter towards it, Dalton and Brosnan seem to enjoy their privacy(which is fine) and Craig is a drama queen about it and thinks its awful(and sometimes he likes it idk)
I'm 100% in agreement with you on this opinion. Moore seemed to have loved the character, the fans, the crew, and his fellow cast. He did interviews and promotions about his role up until his death. He isn't my favorite bond, but he's definitely my favorite actor to have the title of Bond. I think Brosnan is my personal favorite bond, but as you pointed out, he's very private about his life, and doesn't really go out of his way to interact with his fans. That is totally okay, and it was actually nice to see him do that GoldenEye watch-along stream last week. I wonder if Brosnan realizes the positive legacy he has for a lot of folks between his films and video games.
Yes Roger Moore didn't really have an entrapment syndrome with his Bond character compared to the other stars, perhaps because he was lucky to actually play the softer Bond model that started with "Diamonds are Forever" which imho didn't really fit Connery's portrayal of Bond.
Moore did not take himself very seriously. He even took cameo roles in random movies as an unfortunate buffoon, which arguably cheapened his portrayal of Bond.
Roger Moore always seemed like the guy who wants to enjoy everyday of his life. He likes to see people smile. And his work with UNICEF shows he'll go out of his way to help others. I think that everytime he came back to Bond, he gets as much happiness from it as his fans do.
When Brosnan comes out of his shell he does a bit. He goes to premieres and certain events and is a Bond fan himself but nowhere near what Roger did. I never heard about Dalton after Bond
I always say that Roger Moore isn't my favorite bond, but he's my favorite actor to ever be bond. The guy obviously loved the character, his fans, the production crew, and his fellow cast. The guy did interviews and interacted with fans up until his death. Even his most campy films in the series are also some of my favorite guilty pleasures. Moonraker will always be a personal favorite of mine.
I just got done watching A View To A Kill last night for the first time, and I actually really enjoyed it. My only frustration wasn't Moore's old age, but the lack of acknowledgement about it. They could have told a great story about an aging Bond in that one.
I have to admit... sometimes when iam in the bathroom taking a shower i still humm "Whereeee are yoooouuuu? Why do you hiiide", god the theme song from Moonraker is so awesome!
Well put. Not my favorite Bond either, but I've always found him very likeable. His memoirs are very entertaining to read and it is clear that he loved Bond.
Totally agree. Another good idea (an aging Bond role) that the Broccoli team missed. Now that you say that, I’m just thinking how awesome that would have been to have someone play wit less violence and more wit.
Completely agree with you. Moore was like an ambassador for the franchise. Although he wasn't suited to continue the Connery Bond character, he was very well suited to keeping the films popular.
"Moonraker will always be a personal favorite of mine." Me too, I saw it in a theather when it came out. You had to be in context, it was all about future.
At about the same time that I saw the movie, I saw the space shuttle on the back of a 747 pass over my head and land at the Dorval Montreal airport... For real! Space shuttle was brand new and never went in space while all of this happened. Those were very exciting times and Moonraker was part of it.
It is like if the next James Bond movie would have Space X Starship into it and Bond would use it to go to the Moon.
I saw this when it was on tv way back in 1987. I was a big fan of Roger Moore and saw him in 2008 in London. He was promoting his book "My Word is my Bond". Emma Forbes interviewed him on stage and at some point was taking questions from the audience.
I asked Sir Roger " What was it like working with the other big stars in The Wild Geese"? He replied modestly, " What do you mean? The other big stars, I was the big star!
The whole theatre erupted in laughter. He definitely had a good sense of humour!
He'd know Emma Forbes as he was friends with her parents, Bryan Forbes and Nanette Newman.
The class of Moore and the beauty of Emma Forbes... Yes
If your name was a double entendre, you'd have a sense of humour. Bond always liked a bit of Rogering.
Roger Moore was the best James Bond. He had the most humor and the best charm. Plus who could forget such iconic movies such as The spy who loved me, Live and let die or Moonraker. The Series wouldn't be what it is today without him. RIP Roger Moore.
My best bond as well lot people loved him
It’s odd to see how Moore looks actually really good for his age once he’s not trying to play much younger. (Edit: glad to see I’m not the only one noticing this)
Moore played Bond in a more seasoned manner compared to the other players. He's actually doing some detective work too. And generally, the women he romanced were age appropriate.
Moore looks better here than he did in A View to a Kill, he looks like he did in the 70s.
007 CM yes total miss-match there
I remember that during an interview after A View To A Kill, Sir Roger mentioned that he was fighting am intestinal bug and as a result he kept losing weight during filming. Nobody ever mentions this, and it explains why he looks more fit two years after AVTAK was released. He clearly looked like he was losing wright in many scenes during the movie. A tough shoot no doubt, but he delivered another fine performance as James Bond.
Even though it will be three years this May since he passed, it still honestly feels like he's still here with us, which I think is a testament to the kind of person he was in life.
That's the beauty of film and TV. He is still with us, always.
He was and is a legend.
@@davidjames579 same with Chris Lee , cant believe hes gone too
EA was apparently planning a game based on The Spy Who Loved Me with Roger Moore voicing Bond as the Follow up to the From Russia With Love game which used Sean Connery but they lost the licence
Noticed he often looked better in interviews during his Bond tenure than he did in the films.
adam collins I agree - something to do with the makeup? At the same time Leonard Nimoy was appearing in the Star Trek films looking a decade older than he did out of makeup 🤷♂️
@@rogerdalrymple422 He had cosmetic surgery before A View To A Kill, which didn't work out so well, but for some reason it's not noticeable here.
@@davidjames579 Looked thinner in AVTAK. Which made him look worse rather than better.
@@adamcollins915 I hate to pick on him, but it's his neck and eyebrow area that look really wrinkly. Like the opposite of cosmetic surgery. Poor Rodge, at least he improved.
@@davidjames579 When he died, it was mentioned he'd had skin cancer twice & been treated for it. It's my theory that this may be why he had plastic surgery. As he did have his face mole removed, and why at 57 have something you've lived with all your life, removed. Also perhaps they couldn't use tons of make up, if this was the case & by 87 he had recoverd & they could lather his face in make up. Also they're not movie quality cameras on the tv show. I dunno, It's just a theory, as I say.
Used to love watching this on The Living Daylights DVD. Felt like I was on a field trip with Roger Moore.
He was a real hoot on Twitter, man do I miss him and I’m going to miss his many thoughts.
Agreed so missed his tweets as they were so funny :(
Me too!
Roger Moore is the only Bond actor whose name is a double entendre.
I like to think there' an alternate universe somewhere where Roger Moore never stopped playing bond and Tom Baker is still the doctor
Well I always assumed that the Timothy Dalton/Pierce Brosnan movies were a new timeline.
So as a child I always hoped they would make another one with Roger Moore as an older Bond.
There's no line that separates the Doctor from Tom Baker.
You’re in your late 40’s/early 50’s and I claim my £5.
Mr Farky Hars I’m 17 lmao
Mr Farky Hars what do you mean lol you can be young and like older stuff, and I’m not saying I wish it was that way, Roger’s actually my 2nd least fave bond oops
Roger Moore was also intended to play Bond in the EA game "Agent Under Fire"
Also. Nice use of the Skyrail OST from 007 Nightfire
The model for Bond in that game to me always looked like a Moore-Lazenby hybrid
@@Risico16 He does - but the character's appearance is based on the actor that played him, Andrew Bicknell.
I heard Activision was planning a Moonraker game featuring Moore as Bond.
Moore Brosnen and Layzenby are the reference of the model in agent under fire
That was really a treat to watch. Roger Moore was always so Bondian, no matter what he was doing. He was the perfect choice as the presenter of this special. Such a treat!
He still looks younger in this documentary than he did in A View To A Kill
He was the best of them, one of very few celebs who could laugh at themselves and make fun of themselves, an admirable trait of a well rounded human being, something alot of people today could do with learning. Watch any interview with Roger and you can't help but love the guy!
With this narration, Roger's probably the best at bedtime stories, with Dalton a close second. Can't think of Connery doing that.
I dunno, "Let my armies be the rocks and the trees, and the birds in the sky". Sounds like a bedtime story.
@@davidjames579 God, I love that film so much. Old Connery... fair point.
Maybe because im in my late 50s, but roger moore was my favorite bond. Watching the movies back then were magical to a kid.
The two best Bonds in the same show. Dalton's portrayal was very close to the character, but Roger Moore's Bond movies were the ones I was raised on and he'll always be my favourite. Looks like he's having a great time here.
this is Roger Moore era extended again
1964-1987. That's 23 years as a character. Either canon or not. This acts as a bit of a retrospective.
You mean 1974? And then 13 years?
LupusUnleashed 1973
@@lupusunleashed no Calvin found a 1964 bond skit with Roger Moore as the character so 23 years.
He was Bond in a 1964 skit
I somehow find Roger Moore's doddery and long in the tooth characterization of James Bond more appealing and endearing than his younger performance.
I dont know why.
Perhaps because as a younger Bond one always compares him to Sean or other younger Bonds.
But Moores charm really lasts and infact glows when he is older, since he isnt competing on the virility criterion now.
He seems more at ease and charming, and almost detective-like in the older ones. As if he knows that it's his smooth talk and grey cells that will help him get through the situation and not a punch up.
Perhaps why I really like A View To A Kill despite the obvious flaws and terrible make up and an obviously aging Moore.
It will take years before someone else will have that sort of appeal to make Bond so alluring at 56.
I agree with you. While Live and Let Die is a great film, his take on Bond only really feels right from The Spy Who Loved Me onwards and I particularly like him in Octopussy.
I loved Roger Moore, went to see an evening with Roger Moore in Dublin not long before he died. What a legend.
Enjoyed the video, loved the gratuitous ad😉😉, very in keeping with James Bond. Keep up the good work.
Brilliant. I'm so glad you reviewed this overlooked special that I have never heard of. Calvin. I am a big bond fan and have flirted the idea of doing my own TH-cam channel. While I'm still shy about doing it I can enjoy in comfort of your brilliant show. You writing is so sharp, witty and I love your skits. You are an amazing TH-camr and as I am currently in standstill like the rest of the UK I enjoy watching your videos to lift my spirits. Keep up the good work Calvin!
Thanks, very much for this! Really means a lot and I'm very glad you're enjoying the videos. Making them is keeping me somewhat sane during all this!! And you should definitely start your own TH-cam channel! The more people are out their talking about Bond and championing the series, the better! Thanks again :)
As Roger is my favorite Bond, it was nice to see him here... and I agree, he looked younger here than in AVtaK. Thanks for sharing this Calvin!
Roger definitely looks better in this than in AVTAK. He really could have played Bond again even though he must have been almost 60 here.
MrSuperphil he was actually 60
He could of played a spy of Bond's case-solving calibre but this short cuts to Timothy Dalton it looks like a kid and then it's back to Moore and you realise he's an older gent, not someone who can fight a dozen blackbelts in their 20s or walk along a beach topless and have women flocking to him. That bedroom scenes of with him and Grace Jones is a bit icky in retrospect but I would have loved to watch an older Moore play something that played to his character.
If i am not mistaken, his mom died soon before the AVTAK cameras started to roll. He mentioned in an interview around that time that it really affected him. I have always thought that his mourning and sadness affected his screen presence in the movie. There are several scenes where his eyes look not only tired but red...
“It shakes the martini in its glass or else it gets the hose again” bruh 🤣🤣🤣 you need to do some comedy on the side. Your so hilarious
The pictures of the other bond girls are disproof of the codename theory
Maybe the different agents and the Bond girls are swingers?
Disproof codename theory always. There was 1 James Bond 007 from Dr. No to Die Another Day. On a sliding timeline. Sir Sean, Sir Roger, T. Dalton and P. Brosnan all had mentions either stated or implied re: Tracy Bond. Daniel Craig's tenure began as a hard reboot of series but paid homage to past. ie. Walther PPK, Aston Martin DB5 etc.
@@billlucas4675 implanted memories
@@billlucas4675 Yeah.Maybe it is like western more about the idea of James Bond, rather than an actuall timeline.
My hot take on the codename theory?
Connery is one Bond, retires due to boredom. Lazenby/Roger Moore are the same Bond (retires due to old age).
Connery Bond comes back for one more mission after Lazenby/Moore Bond takes leave of absence.
Dalton is one Bond (sacked after going rogue)
Brosnan is another Bond (retires)
There’s a few issues with continuity here but you can iron most of them out/explain them away.
It’s the most logical approach for me.
Craig isn’t proper canon.
Roger absolutely positively looks much better here than in A View To A Kill!!
"May explode after 3 clicks" I lol'd hahahaha
I’m not usually swayed by advertising on youtube. BUT I WANT THAT WALLET
I totally agree.calvin did a great job and I am seriously thinking of getting one for my husband.
Saaaaaame
NOT FOR ME ,THAT THING WOULD BE HACKED IN NO TIME
He really DID look better in the Special than he did in A View To A Kill!🙀
I know right? Like, he aged and looked younger?
@@calvindyson I would say it's the very reason you mentioned, the inferior video quality.
I think he looks so well in this programme because he's got a little more weight on than he would for playing Bond. You get to a certain age and you can either have a trim physique or a young looking face. The passage of time makes it more difficult to achieve both simultaneously. Believe me, I know.
@@ricardocantoral7672 But Connery at 41 looks terrible here.
I think it was the makeup in his last bond that aged him
A better name for this would have been “one Moore time..” lol
Moore, Please
@@davidjames579 Roger, more or You know when you've been Rogered.
Thank you, Sir Roger, for giving an unknown performer a half hour of advice and intense interest in my life and dreams.
R. I. P. The best Bond.
where did you meet him~?
He's playing Roger Moore as Bond like he did in Cannonball Run. Your impression of him cracked me up. Glad I'm not alone in getting a kick out of his contributions to this Special. He looked good for one more film but I think they did right casting Timothy Dalton when they did. To many of the next generation he was their Bond and he did bring a serious quality to the role much like Craig has done. When you see Roger in this and then come to Dalton it reminds me of going to the cinema and having to readjust my expectations for the films to not expect any charm humour or fun or eyebrow raising. Thankfully Pierce brought back a lot of the elements of Roger and Sean brought to the role.
I remember when ABC aired this special. It was May 1987.
I was in seventh grade. I caught the part with Roger Moore skiing and the promo part for The Living Daylights. I remember being excited for the movie. I finally got to see the whole thing when I bought the ultimate dvd version of The Living Daylights.
I could've had Roger live to 150 years old and he'd still make a great Bond. He was always so wholesome, even was he wasn't playing Bond.
Could it be said that Roger Moore was playing a fictionalized version of himself in that special?
Highly possible!
Maybe he’s playing “Roger Moore” from The Cannonball Run? 🤔
I think the real James Bond is playing Roger Moore.
There were multiple onion skin layers of Roger Moore being another Roger Moore.
John McGrady Same here. He's playing Seymour.
That was great Calvin. Roger has always been my favourite 007 and this little gem was great to see. Thanks.
Most underrated Bond actor in my opinion.
Retrospectively, none are bad, they were after all chosen by expert producers. Some we're in lesser movies though.
Moore is on the lower end of my Bond actor ranking. That's not because I harbor any vitriol towards his Bond. I just think that the ideal Bond should be charismatic and dangerous.
'The Man Who Haunted Himself' is a rare glimpse of Sir Roger garnishing his acting chops. A class act in anything. I think he was the final special guest they had on the original Muppet Show.
Another great video Calvin! I remember seeing parts of this about a year ago. Roger’s bits are certainly the highlight of this special!
Ah remember watching this back in the day! He even wore a blue ski coat to link in with the FYEO scene seamlessly. Could even be the same coat 😀
Loved this lots! Watched it right after with all your comments in mind and just enhanced the over all experience. Great job Cal!
Roger does look younger here. Maybe the producers knew what they were talking about when they wanted to bring him back for another Bond film.
"All those feathers... and he still can't fly!" I say this every time I see someone fall over and to date I have never failed to make myself laugh yet! Roger Moore exudes two sadly rare 'C'-words. Two personality traits that I rarely see in people these days, almost as if they were now both deemed illegal: Charm and Charisma, yet with a self-deprecating humour. Truly he was the 'Great' in Great Britain. 🏆🇬🇧
Glad I'm not the only one says that when someone comes a cropper!
@@SJKPJR007 I am delighted you "Got the point". Stay safe my friend and do try and keep the British end up! 😉🇬🇧
@@nigelcarren Absolutely. No sense going off half-cocked!
Another great vid, Calvin. Humour is on point!
Your Roger Moore impression is superb, haha.
Thanks haha I'm glad you enjoyed it :D Along with Sheriff Pepper, Roger is my favourite impression to do :D
Calvin Dyson Looking forward to more impressions!
Rory Bremner does a very good Roger!
th-cam.com/video/MocGNjjaiog/w-d-xo.html
The funeral commercial at 7:45 that Moore hosted was very funny! Well Done!
Haha, thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
Yes, I watched the original when it aired on US TV. Enjoyable recap! Thank you!
Roger Moore will always be my favorite Bonds. Had a certainly gentlemanly charisma, and never took the role (or himself) overly seriously.
It's unbelievable: all of Roger Moore's facial expressions here remind me of some scene on his movies.
I had forgotten about this special. I had recorded it on VHS and rewatched it for a few years. Thanks for bringing this up.
"Trivia peacocking" (6:02) - what a perfect description!
My dad taped this on VHS when it first aired on TV (yes I'm old) and I watched it over and over again until the tape broke. Roger Moore was and is my favorite James Bond. Thanks for doing a review on this. Love it! :)
Makes me miss him even more... still, lovely video Calvin, thanks for the upload ! :)
I remember watching this when it was first shown on ITV. My Bond fandom was reaching critical levels and I loved it! There were at least a couple of Bonds that I still hadn’t seen, so I saw a few clips for the first time. Sir Roger was indeed the best ambassador for 007.
Always a fan of this segment. Thanks for doing a great analysis
3:38 I have always loved the way Moore describe the Bond villains in this clip. It just shows what a good actor he is and his strong charisma on the screen.
Nobody does it better than Sir Rog. Even still.
...except maybe Calvin. These vids are a pleasure, mate.
Oh Calvin, I've watched every one of your videos over the years and this is an instant favourite. Hilarious. I must have re-watched The Silence of the Lambs & Funeral ad bit 5 times each already.
Keep up the incredible work!
I really miss him. I grew up watching his movies, and he was my favourite bond as he had a light hearted humour in him, but yet suave. But most importantly, what a wonderful and role model he was to all his fans and audience around the world. Never a man that was full of himself, or under any spot light of any controversial moments. A gem of a person.
Wonderful stuff. Considering this was a time before the internet and the home video market was just coming into its own, these specials were probably a pleasant reminder for audiences of their times at the cinema with Bond and that there was more to come.
BTW congrats on reaching over 25,000 subscribers!
Thanks, Michael! :D the 25,000 caught me off guard, I think my Myths of Bond videos work well for TH-cam's algorithm as the views on those have been much higher than a lot of my other videos. Great to be welcoming a lot of new people to the channel thought! :D
Fans just recorded them off the telly.
Ooooh, I think he's got more Simon Templar going on here. LOVE this, Calvin - I had no idea this even existed and it really tickled me to watch it! God, Roger was terrific at his best.
I'm actually really happy to see you get a sponsor! Might actually consider getting one of those wallets
2:49: The writer of the special, Richard Schickel was the film critic for Time magazine for decades and he made documentaries about filmmakers. So I would guess he got a pretty decent amount of money for this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Schickel
I have to say that I do love Roger Moore James Bond so much
Thank you so much for Uploading This Amazing Video
I Love You So Much!🌹♥️💋
I love your choice of music in the background ! Using the Nightfire soundtrack is among the nice little touches that sets your channel apart ! Weird that Sir Roger looks younger here than in AVTAK... That Silence of the Lambs joke is the best thing I've heard today !!
The Spy Who Loved Me was played as a tribute to Desmond Llewelyn before the beginning of The World is Not Enough in theaters and on the VHS home version. It’s actually a quite fitting song for him in my opinion.
Nobody Does It Better was played as a tribute to Desmond Llewelyn before the beginning of The World is Not Enough in theaters and on the VHS home version. It’s actually a quite fitting song for him in my opinion.
I absolutely loved this as a kid. I rented the VHS over and over again from my local Blockbuster.
You could rent a TV special from Blockbuster?
Roger Moore WAS James Bond. This special just shows how he could still be Bond no matter his age. One of my most exciting moments was when I met him for his star on Hollywood Walk in 2007. Just awesome! As for Roger being better here than in AVTAK, I believe it has to do with his hair. After hanging the towel as 007, he just quit dyeing his hair lighter. His hair never really got gray, so it really looks more natural. They just should have kept his natural hair in his latest movies for sure.
Thank you I remember seeing this program back in the day but only saw part of it. Great channel just subscribed. Thank you.🇬🇧🍸
This anniversary special was my first introduction to Bond. I was 6 when my mum taped this on TV back in '87. And I would watch it frequently, then later when I watched the films it was fun to see how all the clips tied in. I have just about finished reading Moore's autobiography, and I liked how Moore is appreciative of Broccoli and everyone. He was the most fun Bond.
Think it's interesting that he knew Cubby socially before the Bond films. They used to gamble together.
Why wouldn’t you have framed pictures of all the Bond girls??
The iconic bond girl pics on each "page" if discs is one of my favourite things about my bluray boxset!
Oddly there was an official VHS release of this special shortly after it aired. This tape added additional film clips and sacrificed some of TLD coverage.
I remember watching this special back in the day !! I even have this on VHS !! It is somewhere in the collection !!
Keep ahold of that VHS! Quite a nice collectors item!
Hey, Calvin - I've been stuck at home for a while (like many of us have been), and have been watching a lot your your Bond videos. Very amusing and well done. Been a Bond fan since I was a teen!
Connery doing the FRWL game may be considered in the rare bracket of past-Bond appearences as Bond?
George Lazenby in The Return Of The Man From UNCLE, 14 years after OHMSS.
I believe Roger Moore would been 60 years old when this special was filmed/aired. Still a class act throughout the entire tv special.
This was shown on Swedish television as well, and I taped it and have probably seen it more than half a dozen times. Thanks for reminding me of it.
Incredible discovery. I didn't know anything about this special. The truth is that without looking wonderful, Roger, as always, makes it an incredible experience. I love Roger's accent, English is not my language, but I study it and have always tried, without success, to imitate his way of speaking to be credible with my English. LOL. Definitely a good video today Calvin
Thanks very much, Pablo! Roger's voice is fantastic. I really wish he'd done more animated voice work while he was alive. He has such a rich voice...
I love the dumping on the bumper music.
*WAH WAH WAH WAH WAAAHHHHH !*
@@calvindyson Thanks for your anwser!!!!!Maybe Roger don t be the best one but he was the most funny
Amazing video! You got a lot of laughs from me on this review. There'll never be a better "Bond ambassador" than Roger Moore.
Wow I remember this when I was 12 years old in 1987. Thanks so much for this vid, it brings back memories 😀👍
Hi Calvin, Yes I remember when this was aired, I also remember James Bonds 21st birthday...They called Ronald Reagan the then President of the USA to comment. The Press secretary said are you mad hes not going to comment and low and behold he said bring the cameras in.
"Bond is truely a symbol of the free world and some say hes just an actor in the movies but we all have to start somewhere". Brilliant!
The Russians then responded with "Hes just an agent with a license to kill"
always commenting as if Bond actually exists.
Great video as always...really enjoyed it!!!
Loved this one, both for the affectionate tribute to Moore but your hilarious comedy bits as well! (And I want that wallet!!)
Roger Moore doing some villain hamming?
So like he did in "Spice World" then? ;)
I don’t have many people I follow where i say this is my favourite clip of yours, but well done.
I very much appreciate that, Russ! Thanks so much!
Ah, I remember this! First saw it on my The Living Daylights dvd.
Couldn’t be anymore happy to see this video title
Even though I live in Sweden, I actually remember watching this special back in the day. Didn't think that much of at the time though. Just another snippet of that lovely 1980's television into which Roger Moore as Bond fitted perfectly.
This is why he was awesome. He loved playing Bond and I loved watching him as Bond. I still do and would much rather watch his Bond films than the recent ones :)
Never saw that special. Thanks for sharing!
Yep I remember watching this back when I was in high school. Good trip down memory lane.
Quality content as always my dude
Roger Moore - my favorite Bond.
If you're a Moore fan, watch the old b&w episodes of The Saint. In the pre credit scene of every episode he did what he does here, talking to the camera in character.
You managed to pull off advertising in the video with your charisma and melding Bond in the mix. Congrats! Great video, funny jokes!
Brilliant, Lol. Roger always make you smile...👍🏻😆
I remember seeing this special on ABC in 1987 and was so excited for the upcoming movie. I miss my childhood
I still have the VHS release of this, just nothing to play it on. I wish they had included it as part of the Bond 50 box set. Thanks for sharing good to see some of it again.
Great and humorous overview. I did enjoy Roger Moore's open and friendly attitude. He was a class act.
