RIP Roger Moore!

Even as a kid I liked Roger Moore, because he played Ivanhoe in one of those daily children’s action half-hours to which we hurried home, a 4pm finish at school, a quick kick-about in the street, safer then due to the absence of cars, ate our tea, then settled down in front of the black and white screen.

Later of course he played James Bond, and although he could never, in my view, match Sean Connery in that role, I still think his smoothie style excelled the perpetually beetle-browed Pierce Brosnan, and certainly did a better job than the insipid Daniel Craig.

He held some views that were anathema to me, at least on the EUSSR, but having had a look at his wikipedia biography…  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Moore …he seems to have lived life to the full, so I salute him.
