Sir Roger Moore in
Conversation
To close the Cubby Broccoli tribute
season, the man who, in taking on the role no less than seven times,
helped establish James Bond as the archetypal British hero - Sir Roger
Moore. First coming to prominence as Simon Templar in the hugely
successful spy-thriller TV series The Saint, he claimed his most
famous role as 007 with 1973's Live And Let Die. Bringing a more
relaxed and suave tone to Bond Sir Roger was instrumental in extending the
life of the charming but deadly secret agent. Now an ambassador for UNICEF
and highly commended for his charitable work, he will discuss the
exhilarating world of 007, his memories of Broccoli and his career so
far.
