Roger Moore is back in action as `007` - for Tesco supermarkets Christmas campaign

Nagging pensioner Dotty, the face of Tesco, has teamed up with Sir Roger Moore for the supermarket`s Christmas advertising campaign, report Ananova.

The advert shows Dotty, played by Prunella Scales, seducing the former James Bond on a ski slope and inviting him back to her chalet for a "Christmas surprise".



The pair exchange gifts, enjoy a lavish meal and engage in saucy banter before Dotty moves in to kiss Moore. But as she leans closer, the film dissolves to show it was just a dream.

Scales confessed she was excited at the prospect of kissing Sir Roger. She said: "I read the script and thought `I am going to get kissed by Roger Moore".

"And then, like any actress`s worst nightmare, I discovered it was only a dream."

Sir Roger described the advert as "charming and humorous".

Tesco UK marketing director Simon Uwins said: "Dotty and her family have been the face of Tesco for nearly a decade and are today more popular than ever.

"Our customers love the comedy behind the ads and we`re confident Sir Roger Moore will raise a smile with viewers over Christmas."
