- The Spy Who Loved Me is the third James Bond film to star Roger Moore, and here he talks to Bernard Faulk about it, in his usual affable style.
Known for not taking himself too seriously, the self-deprecating charmer would go on to star in four more Bond films, hanging up his Walther PPK after A View To A Kill.
Clip taken from Nationwide, originally broadcast on BBC One, Thursday 7 June, 1977.

Roger gets it spot on - the audience wants to be entertained. The modern Bond films are almost an ordeal to get through.
Absolutely agree. It went downhill with Daniel Craig.
The Bourne movies really shook the James Bond franchise. Rather than retain it's identity it tried to emulate Bourne movies with Casino Royale and the rest of the Daniel Craig series.
I disagree. The Daniel Craig series (influenced by Jason Bourne) was a needed evolution and brought a richer flavour to the series (woke influences excepted). And the relationship portrayed with M (Dame Judy) was an exceptional highlight! But I think killing off Bond was a shortsighted mistake.
@@stevezodiac575 Sorry but the torture of Bond by whacking his balls with a rope isn't entertainment, lighthearted fun or escapism. It was a wrong move, and a dire new course for the franchise. At least we still have the old ones!
Agreed. I just want a new Bond movie where he's not rogue/off the grid/retired.
RIP Sir Roger. He portrayed some fantastic heroes, Ivanhoe, Simon Templar, Brett Sinclair and, of course, James Bond. All with his unique brand of charm and humour. Most importantly however, he demonstrated a great compassion and humility off screen. Qualities all too often lacking in so many of today's big screen celebrities. A classy product of a bygone age. Gone but never forgotten. Thank you posting this.
Take a look at him playing Sherlock Holmes and Patrick McGee playing Watson in the TV movie "Sherlock Holmes in New York."
@@chrischeshire6528 Moore did a good job in the role as did Patrick Macnee as Watson. Moore was better than Robert Downey Jr, who should have stayed in his Iron Man suit.
Moore is a very humble man.
I used to live next door to a woman when I was a child, who always said that she was his auntie. She was a very nice woman, but I was always a little dubious.
Then one day she was showing photos of a family gathering, and there were pictures of him with his arm around her.
Sometimes crazy sounding things are true.
I don't doubt that. Because Roger Moore spoke impeccably, many think he had a privileged upbringing.
@@4legsgoodRoger moore once lived at Bexley, Kent. Roger Moore also did work with the Spastic society its in his biography.
It was wonderful to watch this interview. Thanks for posting it.
Sir Roger Moore was always entertaining.
I can't believe that over 7yrs have passed since he died.
His films and television work have been part of my whole life, especially Bond and The Saint.
He also did a lot of charity work for UNICEF.

Ever urbane and my favourite Bond. We queued around the Taunton Odeon - on the Sunday afternoon this film came out.
@@robinvanags912 my moonraker was stolen. i liked bond...
Roger Moore 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I loved him - such a great actor
The Persuaders with Tony was iconic for the early 70’s
Such glamour, sophistication, fashion and the rest
🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Did you watch the series in its original language or in another language? The series wasn’t very successful in England and the USA, which is why, as far as I know, it wasn’t continued. In Germany, for example, it was very popular, mainly due to the dubbing, as they didn’t stick to the original script and added a lot of jokes.
@@heyjoe113 the series I watched in English and I did not realise it only lasted around 18 months
Why - Roger in talks at the time to play Bond but lots of rows with Lew Grade’s TV company and lots of others I think
I grew up watching every week the persuaders(yes i am old 🧑🦳) , Roger and Tony were teaching style back then.
I loved the series.
@@heyjoe113in Greece back then I watched it in the original voices,in English (when Roger spoke ,bcs Tony was american through and through)
@@georgesos Roger's voice in the original is, of course, in a class of its own. That's something we couldn't experience in the pre-DVD era. However, it's nice that in Germany, they always put a lot of effort into dubbing and often managed to find voice actors with very similar voices. Roger sounds very distinguished in German as well, while Tony comes across as more relaxed and direct. In Germany, the series was simply called "Die Zwei" (The Two). Apart from the childhood memories, I would still prefer the German dub because it is incredibly funny, and Tony almost always has the last word with a witty remark. The original story wasn't really distorted; they just added a clever line here and there, often in places where nothing was said in the original and the actor, for example, had his back to the camera. I remember a scene where Tony (Danny) is looking around in a dressing room, glances briefly in the mirror, and fixes his hair. In the original, he doesn't say anything at this point, while in the German dub, he admires his reflection and says in a self-loving tone, "Schön, schön, schön. Ein schöner Mann" ("Nice, nice, nice. A handsome man"). And to quote Danny once more: Men don’t get old, they get better 👍🏼
The Spy Who Loved Me - the greatest Bond movie - it had everything an action movie ever needed.
One of my favourite Bond films. Roger Moore was the best Bond.
Absolutely true
I love Roger Bond so much. He is the greatest Bond.
The first Bond film I saw in theater was The Spy Who Loved Me.
That is the unforgettable masterpiece.
Charm, Charisma, Dashing good looks and a great sense of humour. Always been my BOND.💯🎬📽⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Roger Moore really got it. More than any other Bond actor he got what it meant, he got how to approach negotiations with the producers, he got how to allow the character and actor to age gracefully together. No other Bond actor had a good relationship with the producers the way Moore did. Because was wasn't invested or precious or egotistical. We could all learn a lot from his attitude to life. Just relax and enjoy yourself. It will work out as it should. That's Moore in a nutshell.
There was a mutual respect between the producers and Roger. Roger never said anything negative about the Bond films and loved working on them, that's obvious from his interviews.
My favourite Bond Movie, was the Spy Who Loved me. Despite Sean Connery being the favourite, Roger Moore was my Bond.
Bernard Falk was a good presenter but his interviewing skills here are not the best. Well done to Roger for not rising to the somewhat provocative and dare I say sneery questions.
Agreed, a terrible interview only saved by Rog being a complete gentleman and not rising to Falk`s stupid questions.
This is the tame version. In the full, unedited interview, Bernard insults him even more.
@@Chris-B. Another reason why the BBC license fee needs to be abolished. They are never held financially accountable for any of their terrible decisions.
@@stuartedwards6996 That seems a bit of a leap of a conclusion, given the number of resignations from producers upwards to Director Generals there have been -- caused specifically by criticism and complaints, over the past 50 years. Don't get me wrong - whether the licence fee is justifiable is, to me a separate and important question, but I can't quite see why you think the BBC is not accountable?
Bernard Falk, the interviewer, died in 1990, aged 47. (Heart attack). He was only 34 in this interview.
He looks more like 47 in this interview.
The good old times.
Roger Moore was a class act. Top chap.
That was nice, I remember my dad taking me to the cinema for the first time when I was 10 years old to see The Spy Who Loved Me, watching this interview gave me a nice memory.
I loved Roger Moore's portrayal of Bond. My Favorite Bond actor. Always entertaining and that was the point. Nobody should have doubted that within the humor, he did portray an assassin, he proved that when he kicked the clinging Mercedes over the cliff in For your eyes only, sending the occupant to his death. One of the great Bond scenes. A cold assassin but Moore did it his way.
"You left this with Ferrara" Tosses the dove pin at Locke. Then kicks the car. Loved that!
Although it should be noted Roger Moore was on record as being very unhappy with being forced to do that scene, and thought it was out of character for his version of James Bond. I also love the scene, by the way, and am glad Roger was persuaded to do it.
@@schubertuk That's interesting to know. Thanks for the info. A memorable scene and important to the movie and Moore's stint as Bond I thought. Glad they persuaded him to do it otherwise his Bond career really could have been one raised eyebrow. 😀
Thanks Christ my parents let me watch The Spy Who Loved me as my first Bond film back in 1981. I appreciate all perspectives but Moore will always be my Bond, and he was also perfect in The Wild Geese, the original Expendables movie.
Check out the film ffolkes (1980). He was excellent in that!
@@ClarkGreaseball Yes indeed, or North Sea Hijack as I know it. Moore wearing the amazing Gold Seiko Tuna in that movie as he did in For Your Eyes Only.
The BEST Bond for me! Such a gentleman as well.❤
Bless him. Roger Moore was a good sport
Sir Roger was a true saint in real life, and my favourite Bond. RIP Sir, you are still very much missed!
He was the James Bond I grew up with. He was 10X than Daniel Craig.
He also invented/inspired the creation of the Magnum Walls ice cream. My mother will always be thankful.
1977: The $40,000 STUNT James Bond REFUSED | Nationwide | Classic Interviews | BBC Archive 1038am 7.7.24 i also enjoyed roger moore. can't beat him. he was perfect as bond. world's worse coward. enjoys attractive women... ahahaha... yes.
What? You can't just say that without explaining it!......
@lewis7515 Google "Roger Moore" and "Magnum ice cream."
Calling the film "appalling " right in the face of Roger was answered with real class.
It was the script he was referring to, not the actual film.
@@heraldeventsandfilms5970True, it was, never-the-less, an inept choice of words, to put it mildly.
Liked Roger as Bond but always enjoyed him the best playing The Saint. Either way he was truly a gentlemen and class act and I still miss him.
Check out the film ffolkes (1980). He was excellent in that!
I can never watch Roger Moore without remembering his Spitting Image puppet with the animated eyebrow! 😄
Dear Rog! Like Pierce (& unlike some of the others), he always enjoyed being Bond.
The interviewer is terrible, he is not really listening. Roger is taking it all in his stride, self effacing and taking the mick out of the interviewers attempt to be serious.Roger knows it's all a big joke, kind like the Beatles thought it was a joke about their own hype. Roger was a class act. Lovely chap.
Such a gent!
An absolute gent.
The interviewer tries to hard too get the quotes he needs. Roger had to do this, and it shows a bit. The interviewer should have keep a bit of laid back approach and would have probably a better flowing interviewing.
Ahhhh, he's brilliant 😊
In those days, they were Bond adventures. Now they are Bond dramas.
I think they had to change the scripts because being a womanizer and using women if necessary to complete the mission is directly viewed as misogynist by all the feminist types. Also, slightly more than 50% of movie ticket buyers are now female not male, so MGM wants to appeal to that audience. James Bond is gonna have a hard time surviving if this woke movement continues. He's male, he's white, heterosexual and he's smart, ruthless and successful. He represents everything the woke movement wants to destroy and remake in their image. Ironic that James Bond survived Communism, only to face the even greater threat of Woke-ism.☹👎
Ian Fleming thought Roger Moore was the perfect Bond? Why isn't this more well known?!
I knew it. Roger had already been offered the part in the show "The Saint" Connery, believe it or not, was second choice. When The Saint finished and Connery wanted to start playing other roles, the producers immediately contacted Roger.
who are the BBC ?
A public broadcasting corporation focused on world domination. 😈
I am pleased he went on to do more. The one after - Moonraker - is my favourite. Bond Film. I can't imagine anyone else in it and there were so many funny lines which wouldn't be the same spoken by another actor.
I did enjoy all of it, especially the love scenes. A true gentleman RIP mr. Moore.
He was the best Bond...
His manager was right : stop putting your talent down Roger, or your audience won't take you seriously as an actor. And he lamented that he did send himself up so much. A fine gent who did a lot for charity/ the UN
“One take… and his last”. Did the stunt man die doing that take??!
No, and he actually went on to do the rock climbing stunt in For Your Eyes Only. It happens near the end of the film, Bond is almost at the top of the mountain but is kicked by a henchman and falls a great distance, saved only by the rope. No CGI, the stunt was done for real. Rick Sylvester is his name, he's now 82.
@@mazdaman0075 Yes I remember that scene. It was scary! Thanks for the info! 👍
I've just been told that Roger Moore is at Chiswick Roundabout so he should be with us very soon indeed.
R.I.P Sir Roger Moore I m So Glad I Met You & Louisa at Bath Royal Theatre when I got your New Roger Moore Book & Your Autograph Signed by You as Well.
R.I.P Sir Roger & I’ll see you up in Heaven with Sean Connery & Richard Kiel Jaws / Cubby Brocoli / Harry Saltzman / Lewis Gilbert / John Stears / All the Bond Directors & Screen Plays Martin Grace R.I.P / Tom Malkavich / Tom Prevener
Not only a great actor but an astute businessman becoming the producer of The Saint for several seasons. When one considers the series is still being shown all over the world and also the DVD collections, Moore made a fortune. Playing Bond he only received a decent fee for each film but no percentage of profits or royalties. ( Broccoli refused any notion of profit shares with his actors) By all accounts Sir Roger was a kind, generous man who treated everyone with respect and disliked rudeness from actors towards their colleagues and especially to crew members.
My favourite "James Bond". I could not stand Sean Connery, the man had a serious chip on his shoulder.
Aye. He didn't suffer r.soles like you gladly, in fact, not at all.
When interviewers where respectful.
Roger moore is the real JAMES BOND ❤
"Deliberately appalling" 😂
Those chairs are very 1970's.
A very good interweiver.
I'm a Connery fan and believe he was and still is the best Bond.
'Sorry . .
That said; Roger Moore had some great moments; the best of which were in Spy: The bit about the fish and driving out of the water was hillarious. The 'nod to the girl trying to kill him in the helicopter and the jealous look from Barbara Bach was equally funny.
He just overdid the comedy in the last two Bonds.
His Bond movies were the best
In Wild Geese he was also great
He talks about "back projection in the studio". As late as 1977!
I *think* some parts of the scene where he and Barbara Bach are in the Lotus and being pursued by the motorcyclist ("All those feathers and he still couldn't fly!") may have used back-projection in those shots where we are looking through the windscreen into the Lotus and see the motorcyclist in the background.
فقط صوتة يدرس في معاهد هذا الفنان لان يأتي مثلة احد
As much as I like Roger and his films, they are dated now. And the almost slapstick approach of many of them is not accepted by modern audiences. Craig brought much-needed depth to the character. Unfortunately, many or even most Bond fans are very nostalgic and haven't evolved along with modern audiences. Problem is they might be left behind. General audiences make up most of the movie going public even with Bond films. Not Bond fans. The massive success of Skyfall and Craig's films in general should be proof of that.
04:21 - Did the Person Survive ?
Yes he did, the stuntman's name was Rick Sylvester. He's now 82.
Hello, how about releasing the footage of the famous case of Clarita Villaneuva in the phillipinnes who battled with demons and required an exorcism by Pastor Lester Sumrall at Bilibad Prison?
👌
Bernard was an excellent reporter and interviewer. Dead at forty-seven.
i saw that film when it came out in the cinema 1977 yes indeed cunning stunts by stunning stuntmen......and that other blockbuster released in 1977......saw that one twice which alas was the start of all this boring CGI crap they force upon us now
Its easy to update the franchise rather than ruin james bond,
Just change the number and keep 007 old school
Daniel Craig should have been 015 and you can have as many female agents as you want. But leave 007
Nice to know that interviewers were frequently crap in the 70s too.
Did he just say the stuntman died?
He suggested it, but I'm confident it's just his dry sense of humour.
If a stuntman had died Roger wouldn't have been so flippant.
Rick Sylvester certainly didn’t die and has talked about this amazing stunt on many interviews. He is now 82 and still very much alive
I forgot how awful Bernard Faulk was. Roger, however, keeps in very good humour and saves the interview.
95% of movies today are no longer entertaining. It's just Hollywood inflicting their social and political messages on everyone. The most movies I ever saw in a year was 42 in 1995 (I had a lot of time on my hands!). The last few years, I haven't seen more than 3 and sometimes less due to the content of the films and the "nobody" stars who are in them. There isn't a lot of actors out there anymore who have the talent and screen presence to make me want to part with my money like a Roger Moore. And I'm not just referring to Bond films. It's any type of movie. No Time To Die was a disgusting mess which, I believe, should never have been made. But that is today's Hollywood.
I was turning 20 when The Spy Who Loved Me premiered and it was the very first Bond film that I actually got to see in the theatre. It was a blast to watch and is still my all-time favorite of the Bonds. The only Roger Moore film I didn't enjoy was Moonraker. He was a much better actor than he thought he was and he was terrific as Sherlock Holmes. I was very sad when I heard he had passed.
second best james bond ever
ouch!
I cannot get the characters in bond these days. there is no entertainment anymore...
Roger is his usual genial self, but this interviewer is really very poor.
Yea, every other question he was trying to take a dig at the bond franchise or Roger himself. Roger handled it well. 😎
Glang! Glangalangalangalangalangalang...
Have you taped over The Spy Who Loved Me with America's Strongest Man?
Bond badly needs some Roger Moore spirit injecting back into it. I stopped watching the miserable Craig Bond movies.
Same. The scripts are so overdramatic and depressing. It's not sophisticated and entertaining like it used to be. Also, Rogers Bond character had deep knowledge about the world and used his facts and education to think his way out of problems. I appreciated that quality too.
@@ClarkGreaseball I guess it's my age - in my autumn years, I can't take endless doom and gloom, which is what I found the Craig movies to be. Roger brought fun, style and charm to the role. They need to find that again. Badly.
@@Ambienfinity Well said, couldn't agree more!👍
*Daniel Craig is rubbish and no gadgets any more!?!* 💡
Roger Moore said he prefered the love scenes. I'm sure. It's widely-known onliine that Roger Moore was a diseased sex maniac. I can't remember the title of the film and I can't remember the name of the actress. Roger Moore was in a film and between takes he kept on touching a lady's leg and she told him to stop and leave her alone. I believe this is why Roger Moore wanted to be in The Persuaders, it's because of the beautiful ladies and the same with the James Bond films. In a scene of Escape To Athina, there was a scene where Roger Moore started touching Stefanie Powers' leg and that looks like something that wasn't in the script. More like a Roger Moore thing.
Buzzkill here. Loved Roger Moore as an actor... except as Bond. He seemed too much of a wimp.
My name is Cra🇬🇧p James Cra🇬🇧p😂
Go away troll...
Crikey this interviewer was such a pompous, condescending a**hol* but I'm not surprised the late great Sir Roger answered him with his consummate honour and graciousness. My favourite Bond.
