I loved him as a character and actor and remember him in the Dorothy Squires days but I thought he ruined Bond with those awful jokes and puns and irritating raised eyebrow.
As someone who absolutely hates the wildly over-hyped and po-faced Bond movies of today, I liked Roger's version. And what a kind and funny gentleman he was.
I must say that I'm more inclined to JK's view on Sir Roger's portrayal of Bond than Jo's.
That said, I loved his portrayal of Brett Sinclair in The Persuaders and I had the strong impression, at least as far as his TV interviews were concerned, that he was an engaging, self-deprecating and good-humoured man. Always sad to see a talented and basically good individual pass out of our lives.
