As the title says Sir Roger has a new book out in October 'Bond on Bond'.  Wouldn't it be the perfect opportunity to have him along, even just for one day?

Maybe it could even be a pre-sale where attendees purchase a ticket online for a copy of the book (the same system as photoshoot tickets) to ensure he won't be overwhelmed.  Of course, photoshoots would also be most welcome!!!

I've just realised he is attending a book signing in the UK on the 13th, so surely a one day appearance on the 14th would be a possibility?

He does sign through a site with other bond actors. (I presume it's their agent) However he usually signs with all proceeds go to charity, and I presume that would be his clause if he did do a signing. I would link, but I think it's against the rules.

That's the thing I've never quite understood about charity-only signers.  If an actor says they only sign for charity, why are they then against the idea of doing signings like Showmasters shows?  Surely that would be the ideal way to make a fortune for charity, while pleasing their fans too.  Everyone's a winner.

True that.......

Imagine a photo shoot with him and Hugo Drax , that'd be something huh

That's not quite true, the fans, the actor and the charity would be winners, but the event organisers would have all the hassle of arranging the signing and wouldn't get anything out of it

That's not quite true either - the organisers would see a significant increase in attendance, which may increase sales for other guests.

Also, the public like to support organisations who are seen to be supporting charity. A win-win for all concerned!

i dont think we will see gim on the 14th because its his birthday.

it would be great to have Sir.Roger at any showmasters event.
i was fortunate enough to meet him in 2008 at a book signing. and would recomend to anyone who really wants to meet him to get along to one of his upcoming tour shows or one of the few upcoming signings. as he is a very rare signer so wouldnt miss this chance in october.

[tonymontana]

He doing a book signing at bluewater  waterstones 3pm on 13th october likely to be just the book though  as no doubt  his agent-assistant or whoever he is will be hovering  to ensure no sneaky extras

[007 spells Bond]

I know , deep down , that a signing *will* happen !

Do you ???

[llama]

I can't see it happening :/

[007 spells Bond]

I can though

[indio]

it wont happen. however i recommend his new book, my signed copy arrived from waterstones today.

At a show like Autographica, EMS or such, there'd be folks thinking he'll sign Bond stuff. I know when he did Norwich a year or two ago, it was stipulated on the website that it was Book ONLY, no Bond Memorabilia.

Also, he did his 1-man show at the Cambridge Union last year, or earlier this, and AFAIK, only signed a few things, and that was for the Union's big-wigs only. He did do the occasional photo (to which I can attest), but signed nothing outside the Committee room.

[007 spells Bond]

He can be "persuaded" (pun intended I guess......)
