Now that goes way back STEMO. It was good in its day, but I am sure that production would not have worn well with time ;D ;)

As a bit of an aside ITV4 usually show episodes of The Saint about 7-7.30am and the True Entertainment channel have for some weeks been showing episodes of The Persuaders about 9pm.

Yes, Mr Baza. A little nostalgia is good for the soul. I was watching an old episode of Lovejoy recently. Lady Jane still does it for me. :y

Strangely, that what I always think of. Possibly one of the worst Bonds, certainly not the best.

I sadly have to agree. He was too flippant, tongue in the cheek, as a character to be taken seriously as a Bond.  A million miles away from what I consider the best Bond ever, Daniel Craig; a Bond who looks like an assassin, who acts like one, acting to defend the realm as a serious British agent who you believe can kill if necessary at the drop of a hat.  He looks gorgeous as well!! :-* :-* :-* :-* 8)

Sad another one of my 'heroes' gone.

On that vain, I was always of the opinion he wasn't a great Bond however upon his death one of the many quotes of his kicking around was something along the lines of the following.... "I played it tongue in cheek, I didn't play it serious - because Bond wasn't really anything like what a real spy is - I mean what kind of spy is recognised in every Bar in town?" and in that once sentence that did, slightly turn my opinion of him.

He absolutely loved pork pie, apparently. I remember him on a Jonathan Ross once, he got given one as a present  :)

I too have to agree - Simon Templar was his best role; the white Volvo  with the reg ST1, and not forgetting Claude, the Police Inpector that was run ragged by our hero.....

He always said he played it light hearted.  He also said he didn't class himself as a great actor, which may be way he played these roles more almost as a comic.  But given the era, I think any actor trying to play Bond in the 70s and 80s might have struggled, particularly following Sean Connery. They will always date badly, as gadget laden and 70s/80s clothing.
