Hello Sir Roger

I will be visiting Italy in late May (in particular The Almalfi Coast, Rome and Florence)and just wondered if you might suggest any places of interest there that you may have visited and enjoyed please?

Many thanks
Kind regards as always
Noel

Positano

Hi Noel

Rome and Florence are lovely. Though I do find the pace in Rome rather hectic, and the airport is certainly not my favourite!

I'll be spending a couple of days in Positano in May, which is a lovely spot on the Amalfi coast. It's all very beautiful down there and I hope you have a good trip.

Dear Sir Roger, the writer and producer Sidney Sheldon just died a few days. I know that you played in the film “The naked face” (1984), based in the novel of Sheldon, directed by your friend, Bryan Forbes and produced by Globus / Golem. By the way, which are your memories about this writer and the movie. Thanks a lot.

Hi Dixon

Yes I was saddened to hear the news. It was I who suggested the book could be a good film to my friend Bryan Forbes. At that time Cannon had taken over the studio where Bryan had been head of production, and were keen to make a film with me. It all kind of gelled. Sheldon was a terrific writer and a very interesting man.

I think it is one of my better movies, and still stands up today. It was hindered greatly by an 18 certificate in the UK. Looking at it today, it would barely get a 15 certificate. That certainly affected its box office, which is a shame.

Ros Steiger, bless him, had just had plastic surgery. Literally the week before. He had this wig to cover the scars. We were terrified of touching it in case his face fell off!

We had a great few months filming in Chicago. I wish I could do it all again.

Hello Holly

Dear Sir Roger,

I have observed that your style and fellow actor Patrick Macnee's style when playing a character on the screen seem very similar. In other word's intelligent, refined, sauve, and urbane. I know you have acted in projects with Mr. Macnee, would you also be friends?

Best regards
Bruce from Manty

Hi Bruce

Yes Pat and I go back many, many years. We were in rep together. Later on he was filming The Avengers at Elstree and I was making The Saint, so we saw a lot of each other. In the 1970s we made a tv movie in the USA called 'Sherlock Holmes In New York'. We had such a hoot that hoped to work together again, and in the 1980s I had the opportunity, twice, of co-starring with Pat. First was'The Sea Wolves' and then when I received the script for my last Bond, 'A View To A Kill' - I thought of Pat for Sir Godfrey. Curiously he'd heard that there could be a part in it for him and mentioned it to me. Great minds think alike.

I called Cubby and suggested Pat. He said "Roger I was thinking the very same". Wonderful.

I love Pat dearly.

Dear Sir Roger

Thank you very much for answering my question about Audrey Hepburn in December. My new question also relates to Unicef.

Your artistic talents are certainly been used to great benefit for charity at the moment with the mug on www.whateverittakes.org and the doodle on www.nationaldoodleday.org.uk

The drawing I particularly like is the drawing you did almost 10 years ago, in March 1997, of ‘The Saint’ with a Unicef halo and five little stick children in each hand. In fact I think that its sums up Unicef, and the marvellous work you do for them, perfectly.

My question is – do you think that the drawing would make ideal artwork for Unicef greeting cards? I have no doubt, that given your fan base, that they would be a good seller.

Best wishes Peter

Hello Peter

Well yes, that's an interesting idea. Why don't you suggest it to UNICEF in London - far better coming from you than me!

Hi Roger

I have been watching the re runs of both the Persuaders and The Saint on ITV 4 I must say it takes me back down memory lane. I wonder if Either Alan or Sir Roger could clear up something for me please? I seem to remember either 1971 or 1972 Sir Roger coming to Wakefield in West Yorkshire to open a new branch of C+A clothes stores, was this a promotional tour? I see that Sir Roger did have Debenhams (I think ?) sponsorship for clothing on the persuaders?

I am sure Im right about the visit as I remeber thinking I would play truant from school on the day to go and see him if I could, in the end I didnt! Anyway

Thanks Sir Roger you have always been one of my closet to the heart Heroes!
