From Roger Moore with Love 2024 BBC.

Lovely documentary narrated by Steve Coogan who reads from Roger Moore memories and recollections, as Roger Moore.

Various friends and acquaintances. Who clearly all had nothing but positive memories if this lovely man.

Roger comes across as a warm friendly guy who had a great life. Not necessarily a great actor, but he played Roger Moore brilliantly.

Features clips from Ivanhoe, Alaskan, Persuaders and of course "Bond, James Bond".

Highlights being his home movies if his family and friends.

Nice to see the bevy of Bond girls praising Roger .

Married 4 times he was a ladies man, and they loved him for it,

Lovely stuff 7/10.

I saw Roger Moore aged 16 on my first day working at Pinewood Studios in 1977 and he looked exactly as you would expect. Just like James Bond or any other part he played. This is a film made by those who loved and liked him but it's none the worse for that. Steve Coogan does a great job voicing him in a straight forward telling of his life. He seemed to enjoy his life and career and not take himself too seriously. All his kids seemed to really love him, even a stepson from an early relationship. As someone else mentions, it would have been good had they mentioned The Man Who Haunted Himself. Still, that doesn't detract from a very entertaining film about a legend of the UK entertainment industry.

Documentary charting the life and screen success of Roger Moore using a lot of unseen footage taken by Moore himself, at home and on set. Rather like the recent excellent documentary 'The Life and Deaths of Christopher Lee' it also uses an accomplished actor - here Steve Coogan - doing a near perfect impression of Moore narrating the story and this works really well.

Whilst it clearly took him quite a while to hit success with The Saint and James Bond, he very obviously enjoyed life and was deeply loved by family and his many friends. He remained self deprecating throughout his life and also very blatantly ensured that he and everyone near to him had a comfortable existence. He may have had a little difficulty with his various romantic entanglements and wives - in fact he seemed pretty much incapable of nailing that until the end, selecting women as his partners that didn't seem to fit his persona, but hey ho. My only disappointment was how little is mentioned of the 50+ movies he made other than Bond. You can't have everything I guess and most of them were perhaps a bit meh, but a mention of his excellent turn in 'The Man Who Haunted Himself' which he was rightly proud of, is a serious omission.

I stumbed upon this documentary film about the life of Roger Moore, and wasn't really expecting to stick with it for the entirity, but it hooked me in.

I did think the idea of Steve Coogan voicing Moore from 'beyond the grave' might end up sounding a bit ghoulish, but it managed to stay on the right side of the line.

Moore is presented as being a bit of a scamp, a bit of a lad, who loved well and never took himself too seriously. If this were a TV drama he might have presented in a darker light, but I appreciated that this opted to keep the skeletons in the closet.

With some worthy talking heads filling the silences, this was better than I thought it would be.
