Anecdotes
Every script carried an explanatory outline by The Saint's creator Leslie Charteris for the cast and crew: "I have been trying to make a picture of a man. Changing, yes. Developing, I hope. he is a roaring adventurer who loves a fight ..... a dashing dare-devil, imperturbable, debonair, preposterously handsome, a pirate or a philanthropist as the occasion demands. He lives for the pursuit of excitement .... for the one triumphant moment that is his alone. Fantastic? Improbable? ..... perhaps. It doesn't matter so long as you feel that you would recognize him if you met him tomorrow."

Gaffes
throughout the series The Saint drives a white jaguar XJS with the registration number ST1 but the interior changes from tan to black on regular basis. Also from a manual to an automatic and having a sunroof or not.

Versions alternatives
The versions shown on Swedish, Italian, German, French and British TV carried different theme tunes. The one in the UK was an instrumental, the one in Sweden, France, Germany and Italy was a song performed by "Oliver Onions". The French titles with the Oliver Onions theme was a extra on the Network DVD

This Saint's no Saint

I remember this being on telly on a Sunday night. I knew the theme and credits but never took an interest in watching any episodes. Cut to 2024 and I'm finally catching up with the series and it's pretty good! Roger Moore's replacement Ian Ogilvy does a great job as a tougher more sardonic Saint. He's not afraid to shoot someone if he has too, nor dangle villains over cliff edges until he gets answers. Great location filming (mainly sunny Italy and raining London), lovely ladies and good guest stars abound. Yes some of the stories are thin but a few are good with gritty ingredients (men raping girls then killing them?). This is a good show and a pity it didn't go to a second series. Ogilvy was born for the part and would have been a good 007 on the strength of this, but Roger was occupying that seat! The last of the great ITC action series.
