Midnight Video

An archive of two chaps, a laptop and a mic attempting to unearth the lost, forgotten and overlooked in cinema.

Midnight Video 33: Roger Moore as James Bond, Why Are You Doing This? and War of the Worlds

Well folks, it's been one year now since we started Midnight Video and by Jove we're still here.  It's been great to see the download numbers rise steadily and we just wanted to say a big thank you indeed for letting us into your ears and the darker recesses of you subconscious.  Hopefully we've planted some cinematic seeds in there that will germinate and force you to search unceasingly for more movie oddities that need to be seen, heard and digested.

Anyway as it's our Birthday and being the type of people we are, we though we'd do something a little different, dare I say special, for our Birthday show.  So shunning the medium which got us here in the first place, tonight we'll be delving into literature, comic books and music.

First up, Roger Moore's diary written during the making of his debut Bond, Live And Let Die.  We take a look at Roger Moore as James Bond.

Sticking with the written word we add some pictures and dissect Norwegian cartoonist Jason's comic book Why Are You Doing This?

And then we finish things off by avoiding invaders from Mars and a religious turn from Thin Lizzy's lead singer in Jeff Wayne's Musical Of The War Of The Worlds.
