[QUOTE="Zable, post: 62554, member: 47"] When I read he’d died, I felt sucker-punched. He was a large part of my growing up years, and I feel his loss. When I was around 7 or 8 I stumbled upon a huge cache of books my da had tied up in stacks in a storeroom. I devoured as many as I could remotely comprehend. The Saint books by Leslie Charteris soon became my favourite. I have fond memories of an early photograph of me clutching a Saint book during the time when Simon Templar aka the Saint was my 'hero'. So naturally, when I found out that a TV series had been made out of his adventures, I had to watch it; and that was my introduction to plain ole Roger Moore. (And, later, to Ian Ogilvy.) I then caught up with Mr Moore’s TV career by way of Ivanhoe & The Alaskans. Yet, it’s in the Persuaders where I remember Sir Roger more fondly, and that's the series I enjoyed him in most. His Bond I didn’t much care for. (My Bonds need to be edgy/moody: Sean, Tim & Daniel.) Someone described Sir Roger as “quiet and self-deprecating”. That’s about right, in his later life. R.I.P, sir. Thanks for the memories. [/QUOTE]
