Roger Moore was one of my favourite actors. Even when I was a kid, I loved him in "The Saint" Then of course there was the "Persuaders", where he played a broadly similar character, another series I enjoyed a lot. And the first Bond film I ever saw was "Live and Let Die" - I was just a young kid, I didn't have a clue what was going on in this film, or who this James Bond guy was, but it was enough for me that Roger Moore was in it. He was great at playing a particular kind of character, but after 20 odd years of playing "Saintly" roles, he must have loved being able to play a scruffy, eccentric grouch like ffolkes. For me, this film's a lot of fun - I've seen it several times and always enjoyed it, mostly for Moore's performance, but also because it's got a well-constructed plot and a good supporting cast. It's a pity they didn't make a sequel or two.

Thanks for the great comment. Moonraker was my first Bond and growing up Rog was my 007. Ffolks is such a departure for him, especially after 4 Bonds. I agree, it was such a unique character it deserved a sequel. Well, I’m off to drink scotch as it was meant to be drunk, neat and out of the bottle! 😉
