When news broke in September 2018 that Sir Roger Moore KBE had died, we didn't just lose a man who had dedicated his later years to helping others, we also said a final farewell to the greatest 007 of all time. Moore took over the role from the universally loved Sean Connery after a brief cameo by George Lazenby. Although most regard the first official Bond as the greatest, and there is no doubt that the Scot did a wonderful job of bringing the British secret agent to life on the big screen, for many it was always the third 007 who perfected the part of the globe-trotting Lothario.

Moore first played Bond in 1973's Live and Let Die. Featuring an outstanding title track by Paul McCartney as part of his Wings ensemble, the film was hugely different from the movies of Moore's predecessor. Looking back, the film was steeped in the decade's influences. Moore later became something of a punchline for his dry delivery, famous 'raised eyebrow' and quintessential 'Englishness', but that was the charm of the man. More importantly, for many, it was what made Bond work.

It's widely believed that 007 creator Ian Fleming wanted Moore to play the role in the first place, and he was delighted to finally land the actor, who was best known for his roles on the small screen at the time, for Live and Let Die. Although the author eventually warmed to Connery and even went on to become a fan of his portrayal, to him the character had to be English. You can argue for as long as you want about what 'English' means in this context, but just watch the peak-era films that Moore starred in and you will understand exactly what this means.

Britt Ekland, who starred opposite Moore in 1974's The Man with the Golden Gun, told The Telegraph that
