He was already too old when he started as Bond at the age of 46. My favorite Moore film is For Your Eyes only (maybe its the Bill Conti and Sheena Easton theme song) but it's definitely a bit creepy when he could be the grandfather of his Bond girls by the time of his late 70s/80s films. His films were great nostalgia trips of the most outlandish Bond era though and while he was in my mind, the worst Bond as the actor/character - he had some of the better films.
I've never watched the original Saint though, I've always wondered if that was a good show.
