23skidoo 16th Jun 2015		@Monolith Can't disagree with that. Ogilvy was good as Templar (and like Moore was considered for James Bond at one point as a result), and the car he drove was really cool. And I like the theme music (especially as they brought back the Saint fanfare that Leslie Charteris himself composed which was dropped when the Moore series switched to colour). Beyond that, though, I found the show rather dull in comparison to the original, though it was better than the short-lived series from the 1980s that was made in Australia which I could never get into at all. There was also a one-off US production called The Saint in Manhattan that was a busted pilot that aired a few years after Return. I don't have much memory of that one except Simon for some reason looked a bit like Matt Houston.



Monolith 16th Jun 2015		Having grown up with Moore, this was a lesser light, I enjoyed it to a point and wasn't the worse thing on telly but always thought it was a poor imitation of the real thing.



23skidoo 16th Jun 2015		The series was produced by the same team that did the Roger Moore series. Early on, it was actually to have been called Son of the Saint, with Ogilvy (or whomever was cast, probably a younger actor in this case) playing the son of Roger Moore's Simon Templar. At some point the idea was dropped and instead the show was simply a continuation, though I don't think the series went out of its way to make any actual connection to the Moore series.
