On October 31st Roger is going to be honoured  by Elstree and Borehamwood Town Council, when a blue plaque is being unveiled at the studios, to commemorate all his work there.  

Roger will be accompanied by many colleagues and co-stars from "The Saint."

A little more info on the event here: The Saint's Volvo thread

Sir Roger unveiled a plaque on October 31st at Elstree film and tv studios, to mark the years he spent filming there playing Simon Templar.
He said " I spent 8 or 9 years of my life, literally working every day from the crack of dawn until sunset. Sometimes through the late nights. It's good to be back."

Roger was joined by some members of the cast and crew of "The Saint" and hinted that there may be a remake in the pipeline, thanks to his son. "I think my son may be re-making it in the very near future, and he might even give me a part" he said.

Speaking about the new James Bond, Daniel Craig - "I'm fed up with everyone attacking poor Daniel Craig, I'm sure he's going to be absolutely super."

I wonder who were other Saint cast members who joined RM at Elstree?

here is what the borehamwood times said about the event afterwards.....

Sir Roger Moore returned to Borehamwood on Tuesday to see a plaque unveiled in his honour, 35 years after his career took off as the face of The Saint.

The actor, 79, who spent seven years filming the television series in Borehamwood in the Sixties, was greeted by dozens of well-wishers ranging from co-stars to members of Elstree and Borehamwood Town Council, which funded the plaque.

The ceremony took place at Elstree Film & Television Studios, in Shenley Road, which was part of the Associated British Picture Corporation (ABPC) complex - now partly occupied by Tesco - where the series was filmed from 1962 to 1969.

Sir Roger said: "When I was last here in the studios I had a lot more hair, and I had 20:20 vision and a 32 inch waist. Life has caught up with me. I had the best time here at Elstree."

He had travelled from his home in Switzerland with his wife and daughter to revisit Elstree - where he also made the films Crossplot and The Man Who Haunted Himself.

The plaque was unveiled by 90-year-old former producer of The Saint, Robert Baker.

Mr Baker said: "Roger accepted the role of Simon Templar and the rest is history. That it became a great success was largely down to him.

"In all my experience, I've never worked with a more professional, hardworking, more sincere actor."

He also said Sir Roger regularly used to play practical jokes on set, and praised him for his recent work with Unicef, the United Nations children's charity.

Other stars from The Saint, such as Burt Kwouk and Eunice Gayson also attended, and his Persuaders co-star Tony Curtis sent a taped message.

He was treated to a James Bond medley with specially adapted lyrics by Borehamwood Com:Unity Choir.

After thanking everybody for coming - and promising kisses to the whole of the choir - Sir Roger said: "I'm grateful for this plaque. It's going to be moved to Borehamwood High Street, which was used all the time in The Saint.

"It was meant to be the Champs Elysees, but all they did was flip the film - they forgot about the London buses.

"I just want to be assured that it will be high enough that dogs can't reach it, because the critics have been doing it to me for years."

He also revealed that when the show was booked for just six months, he rented a house in Mill Hill. He later bought a bungalow in Totteridge for £2,500, and by the end of the series bought a house for £75,000 before selling it to Paul Daniels. "I thought I was really profiteering," he said.

Eunice Gayson said: "It was lovely, so much fun.

"He has a wonderful sense of humour.

"He's also a wonderful artist - he did characatures of everyone he was playing with.

Many thanks for the info Jimmy, I loved his witty remarks.

Roger so deserves to be honoured in this way, and it's great to know that his former co-stars hold him in such high esteem.

Well done Roger! I'd love to see the plaque in situ, but I live too far away.

Jim, thank you so much for the transcript!  :smt023  
Wow, Robert Baker is 90 and still going strong, great to see that!  :smt003

Hi Amber,

There seem to be very few photographes available of Roger receiving his blue plaque. Did you come across any? Maybe in Hello magazine or so.

Thank you

Hi Plantagenet,

I'm very surprised that there has been so little press coverage in newspapers and magazines, about Roger's blue plaque presentation. Nothing in "Hello" magazine at all.

Thank you for letting us know. It's a shame really.

I have been checking Hello and Ok magazines here, coz in the past RM has featured in them quite regularly, the last decent article and pics I found of Sir Rog were in Hello when he was knighted.
