Roger Moore had at least 2 other stunt doubles, the one who doubled for him in Octopussy was an Irish guy, who had his arm broken in the scene near the end where Bond is hanging on to the outside of a train. The other one had the surname Starr-Wood, he was Moore's double in Escape to Athena, and a few others. He got a mention in Movie Maker Magazine, because both he and his wife opened a film shop in Oxford under the name Starrwood Films, they both had worked at Pinewood Studios, she worked in the cutting room, and in 1979 they managed to arrange a visit to the studio for their customers. I would go there every Saturday discussing movies with them, while they kept me supplied with coffee. They even toyed with the idea of bringing out their own films, like Derann, but it never happened and I think around 1980 the shop closed.
