@FrancesShearan As would underwaterBall - although that sounds like something that needs medical attention

[Simon Templar @ITCsaint]

@FrancesShearan Possibly doesn’t quite trip off the tongue as easily, but I like it - opens up possibilities for other literal Bond titles

@msvmsimscky I was taken to see Moonraker at the Odeon cinema when I was Five years old. Not only did that make me a lifelong Bond fan, it also made me a lifelong @sirrogermoore fan.

@janemerrow Very nearly made the mistake of going to them once. Glad it didn’t happen. Sky all the way for me.

@JazWiseman @AnnekeWills Not seen this before - no mention indeed but nice artwork of Anneke

@HevinghamMark @RodneyMarshall1 @StuartGulleford Well there was some tobacco in it 😉

[Simon Templar @ITCsaint]

@RodneyMarshall1 And should Never be attempted to remake - this series WAS Roger and Tony. Should be left as it was.

[Simon Templar @ITCsaint]

@A_November_Man Enjoy, the first film I ever saw at the cinema was a Roger Moore film. Moonraker, still love it to this day

@A_November_Man Licence to Kill absolutely. Give him the revenge movie that Diamonds should have been

@ourrachblogs This is possibly the most important issue this week. I can confirm that they do not taste like actual factual Prawn cocktail at all.

[Simon Templar @ITCsaint]

@RodneyMarshall1 @StuartGulleford Tobacco stained fingers I always thought. If a glove came off it always seemed to be the left one

[Simon Templar @ITCsaint]

@MrsSimonTemplar As indeed we all are - hopefully I’ll be going the right way

@JBondPersuader All great books

[Simon Templar @ITCsaint]

@RodneyMarshall1 Jeremy Brett IS Sherlock Holmes for me. I have enjoyed others of course. Basil Rathbone and Christopher Plummer are two in particular I like.

[Simon Templar @ITCsaint]

@MrsSimonTemplar There has been some great programmes over the years. However, I still find myself watching stuff from long before I was born. Most of the ITC catalogue falls into that category

[Simon Templar @ITCsaint]

@RodneyMarshall1 The Saint, I feel, is Rogers finest (118) hour(s) it fitted him like a glove. Even standard episodes are lifted by his presence. I met hm Just once and it was joyous, he was kind and polite and put me at ease. Everything I could have hoped for.

[Simon Templar @ITCsaint]

Remembering this man today. Five years since his passing. Still missed but forever celebrated. Here’s to you Sir Roger. Saint, Persuader, hero.

Seven of the 10 script books available from my Lulu page - just to give people an idea of what they are like.
