From Quiz Roger Moore

Roger was born 14th October 1927 in Stockwell, London. Shame upon you if you opted for his being Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish as he is one of the most quintessential Englishmen to hit our screens and does an appalling Scottish accent.

Answer: R.A.D.A.

R.A.D.A. The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art has had a steady outpouring of talent since being founded in 1904. Almost every British star from any era has their roots back at this very prestigious school on Gower Street in London. With the war still raging in Europe the school was naturally dominated by female students at the time at a ratio of 4:1. One young lady in his class was Canadian born Lois Maxwell, nee Hooker, who went on to be Miss Moneypenny in the 'Bond' films. D.S.F.S. is my acronym for "Drama School for Future Saints". I hope that didn't catch you out.

Answer: He was a male model for a knitwear company.

Michael Caine would relentlessly make fun of his good friend Roger Moore for his knitwear modelling. He would refer to him as "The Big Knit". My father in law was among the photographers to shoot Roger in his less than flattering attire. In 1987, aged 60, Roger appeared on Dame Edna Everidge's TV show. She took great delight in trying to embarrass him by showing viewers photographs of his knitwear modelling. Roger smiled beautifully and put her right in her place by saying, "We all have to start somewhere dear".

Leslie Charteris wrote over 100 "Saint" novels and short stories between 1928 and 1983.

From Quiz Roger Moore

Answer: U.N.I.C.E.F.

U.N.I.C.E.F. is the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. They help poor and suffering children across the world, campaigning for their rights, administering medicines and delivering education. Roger was inspired to enlist as an Ambassador by Audrey Hepburn who was herself a recipient of U.N.I.C.E.F. aid as a child. Roger explained, "At the time I joined the organisation the 'Rights of the Child' was being ratified. U.N.I.C.E.F. is now in over 160 countries and 191 countries throughout the world are signatories to 'Rights of the Child' convention. And so you have to remind governments of that, and I make a nuisance myself in that respect." Visit U.N.I.C.E.F. at www.unicef.org

From Quiz Roger Moore

Answer: He was the voice of a radio announcer at the end of the film.

Robert S. Baker, the former producer of the original 'Saint' TV series, said of the film; "As a film it was reasonable but it wasn't 'The Saint'. They paid an awful lot of money for the rights, had to pay all sorts of percentages to make it work and even had to pay Roger because they'd promised him a major part. They paid him a lot of money for not appearing in it in the end."
