Why did you decide to write it now?

“We didn&#;t have room for a number of stories I wanted to include in my first volume, My Word Is My Bond, so I&#;ve always hoped there might be an opportunity to follow up with another book.

“As the first book was a huge success, in at least three UK towns, it seemed opportune to do it now &#; before I forget them all.”

 

Following Last Man Standing, Bond on Bond and My Word is My Bond, do you have more stories you’d still like to tell?

(Or have you told all the publishable ones now?!)

“I&#;ve always fancied writing a medical memoir. My Ailments and Bits They Cut Off. I think it&#;d be fascinating, though my wife Kristina doesn&#;t seem to share my enthusiasm.

Roger moore autobiography last man standing An eye opener into the amazing world of the genuine man, Sir Roger Moore and those that shared a life around him. Well worth a read and an amazing insight into the characters who have now sadly passed. "He is The Last Man Standing". Dr Keith Bailey MBE.

Can&#;t think why?”

 

 

Is there anyone from Hollywood’s golden age that you wish you’d had the chance to meet?

“I&#;ve been pretty fortunate in meeting so many wonderful people. I can&#;t say there is one person, no. Not that I want to sound conceited &#; I&#;ve just been &#;one lucky bastard&#;.

(That&#;s the US title of my book, by the way.)”

 

Who would you have cast as the leading lady and the villain in a James Bond movie if you’d been able to choose anyone you wished to work with?

“Grace Jones. She could play my part too and that way I needn&#;t go in.”

 

You expressed interest to Mark Gatiss last year about appearing in Doctor Who or Sherlock – what sort of characters would you like to play in those shows?

“I&#;d like to play a wheelchair-bound mute.

I&#;d have no dialogue to learn and could just sit there.

Alternatively, I could happily play an invisible character and just phone in my lines.”

 

 

Are you looking forward to the An Evening with Sir Roger Moore tour next month?

“I&#;m greatly looking forward to the tour, as is my wife who loves discovering parts of the UK she hasn&#;t visited before, as she&#;s Swedish you know.

Walking through a stage door always gives me a buzz, and it&#;s lovely to be working again so soon after Christmas.”

 

Lastly, I just wanted to say how much we admire your UNICEF work&#;

“You are very kind. I always talk about UNICEF in my books and in my stage show because it&#;s such an important part of my life, and I am always totally overwhelmed by the generosity and kindness of people in responding.

“It&#;s important to stress that every UNICEF gift card purchased, and every penny donated online or in collection buckets does make a difference, and it causes a ripple effect which spreads and grows in momentum.

Pennies become pounds and help save many lives.

“There are too many children dying from preventable causes &#; that needs to stop.”
