Summary

Sir Roger Moore sadly passed away aged 89 on May 23rd 2017. As the ever popular, ever charming "People's Bond" we decided to suspend our regular programming and instead put together a tribute to the great man.

Over the next 4+ hours we go through the messages of sympathy from the world of Bond from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig. We talk to Maddy Smith, Roger's very first Bond girl. We're joined by author of Catching Bullets: Memoirs of a Bond fan, Mark O'Connell, and we're even joined by the great man himself as we revisit our interview with Sir Roger from 2016.

We also wanted to give a voice to Sir Roger's fans around the world, so we put out a request for messages from the JBR listeners. What can only be described as a "server melting" response followed with over 3 hours of voicemails all sharing stories, memories and favourite moments of Sir Roger.

Being the lifelong fans of the great man that we all are, this episode serves as a love letter to Sir Roger and our way of thanking him for a lifetime of smiles.

Sir Roger, we salute you.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to James Bond Radio. Today, we're obviously going to be paying tribute to the
0:05.4	legend that is Sir Roger Moore, sadly no longer with us. My name's Tom Sears and as always,
0:10.9	I'm joined by my good buddy, Chris Wright. How are you doing Chris? I'm not doing too bad Tom.
0:16.8	It's been a couple of days now since obviously the inevitable happened.

0:31.0	It was the fitting thing to do, definitely.
0:33.4	So we put the message out.
0:35.4	And the response we've had has been incredible, hasn't it?
0:38.0	Unbelievable response from everyone.
0:39.7	It's been mind-blowing, man.
0:41.1	I think it's a funny one like we said in our little mini podcast the other day just after it happened.
0:45.6	It's a funny one when a celebrity goes because it's not somebody that you know personally.
0:51.1	But at the same time, you know, at least for most of us, but at the same time, you know, at least for most of us, but at the same time,
0:55.1	you know, they've been such a huge part of our lives that it does feel like a friend or a
1:00.0	family member has indeed gone. And it's been tough, man. It's been a tough couple of days.
1:04.1	I've felt awful. I've been walking around with this horrible little feeling in the pit of my
1:07.4	stomach. And I know from, you know, all the comments on social media and stuff,
1:11.7	a load of Bond fans and Sir Roger fans have been feeling exactly the same. So I think it's
1:17.0	only fitting that we try and make today's episode as much of a celebration as we can. It's going to be
1:22.7	tough, man. I know some of the stuff we're going to be going through in a bit is going to be
1:27.3	tough to get
