Apparently he interviewed for the part to take over after Roger Moore but Cubby Broccoli thought he was too aggressive. Shame as I think he would have been good and it would have transformed his later career as it went down hill after that. Ended up running a computer supply store in California.
@@AndysEastCoastAdventuresone time when Cubby was wrong with his opinion. Makes one wonder what he would have thought of Daniel Craig. Collins knew he had blown it when he went in too overconfident. A great shame as he would have been a sensational 007.
Totally agree James. Would probably have been the second best Bond. After Sean Connery of coursh. He is the besht 007 of them all. I think Mish Moneypenny would agree.
RIP Lewis, thanks for gifting us with your charismatic tough guy image on screen and being true to yourself off screen.... Broccoli you denied us an awesome James Bond... Best wishes my cosmic friend...
Legend has it that the US did not want to show the professionals as it was deemed too violent. I believe it was one of the reasons. Had the US shown the programme it would've generated a lot of money and more series would've been made.
Apparently Brocolli didn’t think he was “urbane” enough , ie smooth & sophisticated , to play Bond . Which is a load of tripe , you can see in the early scenes where he’s “smooching” Frankie that he absolutely nailed “urbane”
I met him at RAF Weston on the Green where he was doing some freefall parachuting. A really nice bloke who took a bit too much of a fancy to my mum (I was a teenager) 😮
23 is north England and Scotland, it was 21 he was joining, but only the hill phase (still a huge achievement). He got pulled from training as it was felt he was to well known to be a member.
Yeah when my troop sergeant was a young Tom he did his jump training with the reserves, thought it was just typical para talk but I saw some podcast where another Para said yeah he'd been para reserve
Apparently Chubby Broccoli thought he was to macho to make a good Bond? As in too tough!! He would of been perfect in my opinion. He would of been a mega star on both sides of the pond then. Was still a great actor and well liked by most who met him. RIP Lewis
Apparently he was a former paratrooper, serving in the Parachute Regiment's TA battalion 10 Para (now 4 Para) and it is believed he did pass the selection for 21 SAS (one of the SAS' two TA battalions) but due to his fame at the time he was not allowed to serve in the unit. This is what I've heard or read so if anyone knows otherwise please correct me. He was a very active actor and took his physical fitness seriously. Would be good to know what he's doing with himself these days.
@@ssww1976 yep maybe 18 months in it. UA-cam does ball park years. Anyway I don’t think his health was great for his last couple of years. I was a big fan . I’m a 60s kid so the professionals was bang on for me. I was in the TA the same time as he was 1980 to 84..
Living in the YTV region in 1982 I clearly remember seeing this interview on Calendar. I have a feeling that the female newsreader was named Miriam. Saw the film shortly thereafter and loved it. I visited The Union Chapel in Islington a few weeks ago - where some of Who Dares Wins was shot - and it was surreal. Still looks the same! RIP Lewis Collins, I used to wear an army jacket and tell everyone my middle name was Lewis. It isn't.
Yes Marilyn Webb. Went on to form a production company and be an independent producer when YTV was mullered by an inept executive team. At one point you couldn't raise an electrician or plumber because they were 'on location' at an executives home doing guvvy jobs on the company clock. In a cost cutting exercise, they put an accountant on every department and offered payments to staff to leave to reduce headcount - up to £30K was paid to each person to tear up their contract and pension in 1984. The creative talent and experienced staff said yes thanks and walked out the door including Marilyn, straight to the BBC or abroad. Richard Whitely was gifted £250K to make sure he stayed but it was the beginning of the end. You would walk in on a Monday morning and a whole team had gone.1800 staff either left or were made redundant and the company eventually shut down. Now the studios are a shell production company. What an incredible example of ineptitude and greed. A thriving community and beacon of excellence in Leeds laid to ruin. Sir Paul Fox. former CE must have been gutted that the company he built and developed into a world wide concern was sold down the river by faceless executives who then moved on to the next cash cow. NHS I believe.
In this interview, as on This is Your Life, Lewis Collins looks just like Dredger, a hugely popular comic strip character in the ’70s, as he appeared in the story The Man Who Died Twice (17 April, 1976). He’s dressed exactly the same, has the same hairstyle, and even wears the same medallion. Incidentally, this attire, including the medallion, is similar to what he wears in the opening credits of The Cuckoo Waltz, It's All Greek to Me (10 January 1977). Lewis Collins would’ve made a great Bond but I think he really wanted to be Dredger and, in a sense, his wish came true. Dredger was a character in a comic strip about a pair of agents of British counter-terrorist unit DI6, published in Action from 14 February 1976 until 12 November 1977. Lewis Collins played Bodie, a character (who looks and behaves like Dredger) in The Professionals, a TV series about a pair of agents of British counter-terrorist unit CI5, first broadcast on 30 December 1977.
I saw Who Dares Wins with school pals on release , although it's seen as propaganda and low grade I've watched it regularly since. Takes me back to happier more carefree days before life became nothing but confusion and pain!
Love Lewis Collins!! xx Such a fit, good-looking guy - and a really nice man by all accounts. Shame he didn't get the Bond job. I don't think Timothy Dalton did any better than he would have done - and he must have been sick to see that Pierce Brosnan (who had a couple of lines in one of The Professionals episodes) later went on to play a highly-publicised Bond. Shame on you, Broccoli. :o(
@@ferguspadian6909 Yep Brosnan was a good Bond just the plots got a bit ridiculous for him. Dalton was poor.Lewis Collins would definitely have been better than him.
he used to parachute jump for fun, I think with the army too. He was def fit enough at the time shame he didn't get the role would have changed his life. Lewis died a few years ago.
I don't think the fact that he had worked as a hair dresser's assistant in Liverpool helped. He would have been a target for sure and that's the last thing SAS want. They want covert invisible men.
Huge Bond fan (of a certain age) my entire life, and I can remember seeing A View To A Kill in the cinema and thinking, Jesus will he ever pack it in, the missed opportunity Collins had haunted him for the rest of his life
Lewis Collins did audition for the part of James Bond but sadly Cubby Brocolli didn't like his audition as he came across as being 'too aggressive' thus he was sadly rejected for the part. Also, in real life Lewis Collins was in the Army Reserve Parachute Regiment in the late 1970's/early 1980's.
I agree lewis sould and would have been a amazing bond but only if he could have played it like he did in who dares wins, i think he would have been ahead of his time for the 80's
Great film, I'm woudering if they had actual SAS guys help with filming ? Lewis Collins said something in the interview ? not sure if he was saying yes in a round about way?
I think they were SAS, for a couple of reasons: SAS would have had to spend ages training any extras/stuntmen to accurately portray regiment procedure (much of which was dangerous, highly-skilled helicopter and height based activity), time that would have taken them away for active availability. The regiment are obviously very proud and protective of their reputation and, as they were involved in an 'advisory capacity' would only have done so if they had editorial control over SAS operational content, they would hardly be expected to allow representation of certain skills that they had spent years perfecting be carried out by outsiders with only a few weeks training. Probably the most cost-effective solution would have been to let the SAS perform much of the actual raid footage themselves. This, of course, is all speculation
Roger Moore signed a four picture deal as Bond, that expired after Moonraker. They started looking elsewhere for actors, enter Lewis Collins who was deemed to be too aggressive by Bond producer Cubby Broccoli, so they paid the past his prime Roger Moore to stay on for three more movie's. Collins would have been perfect in For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy and A View To A Kill
I love lewis and I think he was a lovely person my regret is never meeting him hes my fav.english actor and he was very good looking but love the scouse down to earth cheeky big cuddly Teddy bear 🧸 🐻 gonzo loving soft lewis
it would have been AMAZING to see Mr Collins as james bond forget that Daniella craig i want to see a real man/ an alpha ,male as James bond thanks for this video
Lewis was wonderful and an inspiration. He hides his scouse accent remarkably well ;-) Could have played JB007 (better than Piers Brosnan) but still not as icy as Daniel Craig. RIP Body...
James Harrison not all scousers have the thick nasal accent and he's was from birkenhead which isn't Liverpool its over the water his accent is pretty much standard for were he's from
Lewis Colins was part of 21 TA Artists Rifles SAS he did and passed selection but because of his high profile he wasn’t able to go any further correct me if I’m wrong
The ironic thing here is that Richard Whitely was a British Agent, albeit intelligence rather than a James Bond action figure. He does seen rather enthusiastic throughout the interview. Always good to have someone within the media channels and the nerdy buffoonery he projected gave good cover. Off camera, he was quiet and most often thoughtful and serious. Lewis Collins would have made a good Bond but he took himself a little too seriously... needed a touch of the Michael Caine really, relax, tell a joke, be normal in interviews.
i learned recently he passed part of the selection for 21 SAS. but was rejected because of his celebrity status it was deemed to big of a security risk.
people saying he whould have been a good bond ?? maybe yeh i mean roger moore was meant to quit the bond movies after "for your eyes only" thats why they blow up his lotus in the film and also why for your eyes only is the darkest of the bond films so yeh maybe if moore whould have quit after f.y.e.o. lewis collns might have been good. He isnt the best of actors though.

R.I.P Lewis Collins. Who dares Wins. Brilliant film! Brilliant actor! the king of hard men (with his own wry humor thrown in) nice bloke.
God Bless
I don't think a lot of people in the Arrowe Park Hotel thought he was a hard man. Bloody nice fella though.
@@pumbar why, what happened in the hotel?
@@kdum8 Suffice to say he got a lot of aggro...
Someone said"he,d make a great james bond".,I agree.
Best man to never play Bond.

Bond material. We've been robbed over the years
@@speedbirdconcordeBOAB it means the chosenites hate us.
I couldn’t agree more.
Dam right he should have been 007 James Bond!
RIP Lewis, thanks for gifting us with your charismatic tough guy image on screen and being true to yourself off screen.... Broccoli you denied us an awesome James Bond... Best wishes my cosmic friend...
Discovered the Professionals on the web. Great show. Was never shown in the States. RIP Lewis.
Legend has it that the US did not want to show the professionals as it was deemed too violent. I believe it was one of the reasons. Had the US shown the programme it would've generated a lot of money and more series would've been made.
He was so cool. Lewis would have been an amazing James Bond.
Lewis Collins as bond: Right, girl shagged. Check boss killed. Check. World saved. Check. Now what?
Director: the intro is still rolling!!!
Lewis is the main man done all his own stunts on the show should have been 007 he would had done a great job as james bond
Loved Lewis! RIP ! Who Dares Wins is a great film, the world missed out on a chance to cast Lewis as 'BOND' I am sure he would have nailed it! dx
Apparently Brocolli didn’t think he was “urbane” enough , ie smooth & sophisticated , to play Bond . Which is a load of tripe , you can see in the early scenes where he’s “smooching” Frankie that he absolutely nailed “urbane”
I met him at RAF Weston on the Green where he was doing some freefall parachuting. A really nice bloke who took a bit too much of a fancy to my mum (I was a teenager) 😮
With 4 para?😉
I bet your mum loved it.
Would have loved to have seen him as James Bond. He would have brought a lot of action to the role.
My God wasn't Lewis a stunningly beautiful looking man. A real Adonis!
Margaret Thatcher wore out her VHS copy of Who Dares Wins.
I think I did too.
And her vib
She was moist for the SAS.
The man who ALMOST became James Bond!!!
I like how he instinctively double taps when he explains shooting in the dark.
Yeah, I agree. Richard Whitely would have made a great 007.
He was in the SAS you know and killed several other members in a drunken rage. A terrifying man.
This is the man who should have been Bond after Moore.
Moore should never have been Bond in the first place i think.
Sounds like you shouldn't then.
Alba Productions after Sean actually. Roger was 2 years older than Sean.
@@paulmercer279Of course he should have been Bond, Roger was perfect.
Broccoli robbed us!
Lewis frigging Collins kicks ass!!!! All the best mate !
Unfortunately he sadly died a whole 8 years before you wrote this in 2013.
He actually passed Selection for 23 SAS. But then became too famous.
From an injured British War Veteran
23 is north England and Scotland, it was 21 he was joining, but only the hill phase (still a huge achievement). He got pulled from training as it was felt he was to well known to be a member.
Believe he ended up in 10 Para
Yeah when my troop sergeant was a young Tom he did his jump training with the reserves, thought it was just typical para talk but I saw some podcast where another Para said yeah he'd been para reserve
This is 80s all over: awesome movie, charismatic movie star, Richard Whitely, the clothing. All of it rocks.
Apparently Chubby Broccoli thought he was to macho to make a good Bond? As in too tough!! He would of been perfect in my opinion. He would of been a mega star on both sides of the pond then. Was still a great actor and well liked by most who met him. RIP Lewis

Mate, you know that Lewin Collins passed the SAS selection. Regiment was hesitated to take him because of his status as a celebrity.
one or two of the psi,s also said that currently on attachment to 21st. ) he compromised & joined 4 para i believe...
I don't think the fact that he had worked as a hair dresser's assistant in Liverpool helped. He would have been a target for sure and that's the last thing SAS want. They want covert invisible men.

Liverpoolscottish, just wondering - do you have any personal vendetta against the man?
Apparently Richard Whitely turned down the role of James Bond. He totally looked the part.
Lewis Collins and Sean Connery in a film about the S.B.S, or something along those lines, it has epic written all over it, what a shame.
Oh yeah .. he should have played bond after roger. Also clive owen should have played bond too. Both these remarkable actors did not get a chance.
I was named after Lewis Collins
That’s right give the plot away 😂
He did audition for bond but cubby broccoli thought he was a little too aggressive so Moore got it instead,Lewis certainly had the looks though
Absolute fucking Dude!

The host seemed to be flirting with Collins. You English.. 😄 Always a little extra sugar in your teas.
people saying he whould have been a good bond ?? maybe yeh i mean roger moore was meant to quit the bond movies after "for your eyes only" thats why they blow up his lotus in the film and also why for your eyes only is the darkest of the bond films so yeh maybe if moore whould have quit after f.y.e.o. lewis collns might have been good. He isnt the best of actors though.
Roger Moore should have stopped playing Bond after Moonraker leaving Lewis Collins to pick up the role for the 80s.
