Age 89, not a bad age. RIP.

Liked him as an Actor, didn't do much for me as Bond, but still a fine gentleman and will be missed.  :y

It's very selfish of him to go today. The BBC would have got good mileage out of his death, but have bigger fish to fry at the moment.
No crying smilies or owt, he had a long, privileged life and we've all got to go sometime.

Never my favourite Bond, despite being my era, but no doubt what he'll be remembered as. Still, very entertaining films.

RIP Sir Roger.

RIP Sir Roger.

Yes he had a good innings...I liked all the Bond films except the last couple....not enough gadgets in them.
To me Bond films is all about gadgets.

Which reminds me unfortunately, when I had a house break in 18 months or so ago.....one of the things the w*nkers stole was my entire DVD Bond collection, 22/23 DVD's  >:(
Luckily I had backed them up as ISO files (and not illegal as I owned the originals)....so sitting on a HD taking up about 160GB.....
Just a shame I haven't got the original DVD's anymore  :(

Yes....apparently they tried to make it look like the V8 version with a bonnet bulge.

Tony Curtis drove a 246GT Ferrari Dino if memory serves.
