# List of The Saint episodes

This is an episode guide for the television series The Saint, which originally aired in the United Kingdom between 1962 and 1969. The series was developed by Robert S. Baker based upon the literary character created by Leslie Charteris. The majority of the episodes listed below – including all of the black-and-white episodes – were adaptations of short stories, novellas and novels in the Charteris canon.
Production blocks: (1) series one 26 episodes, (2) series two 13 episodes. (3) The next 32 episodes were made as series two and the 39 previous episodes were re-branded as series one for worldwide distribution. (4) 30 episodes plus the feature film version of "The Fiction Makers". (5) 13 episodes plus the feature film version of "Vendetta for the Saint". "The Fiction Makers" was shot by director Roy Ward Baker in a dual format, principally as a feature for European Cinema distribution, and as a television two-parter scripted to include a scene to begin part two with the usual The Saint halo sequence (the film and TV versions are edited differently also). The film version was given a U certificate by the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC) on 29 September 1966. "Vendetta for the Saint" was made without provision for a TV edit and has no special halo sequence for part two; also part two has the film version's 'end' caption. The 71 b/w episodes were originally divided into four series in the UK and the colour episodes were series 5 and 6. The colour episodes were originally broadcast in the UK in black and white, predating the advent of colour TV transmissions on ITV.
As will be noted in the episode, many actors on top of Roger Moore would make appearances throughout the James Bond movie franchise.
Black-and-white episodes were produced by Robert S. Baker and Monty Berman and are A New World Production for ITC. (The first 20 episodes are copyright: ITC Incorporated Television Company Ltd and Granada Television Network Ltd.)
Colour episodes were produced by Robert S. Baker and are A Bamore Production for ITC.

Who is the "High Fence" who reportedly pays twice the amount any other fence offers for stolen jewellery? NOTE: James Villiers played Bill Tanner with Roger Moore in the 1981 James Bond film "For Your Eyes Only". ||||

| Guest cast: Sylvia Syms, Jacqui Chan, Manning Wilson, John Dearth, Robert Cawdron, Peter Diamond, Martin Miller In Paris, visiting diplomat Madam Chen (Jacqui Chan) has a very precious pearl necklace which it seems is of interest to a number of professional criminals, one of whom, Jeannine Roger (Sylvia Syms), is acting as Public Relations for Madam Chen, and is also "recognised" by the Saint under another name although it may be a mistaken identity. NOTE: This is actually the first episode of the series where Simon looks up at the halo above his head before the opening credits. ||||

Last week, Harry broke into a house to steal a letter for "The Scorpion". The letter was left in a locker at Victoria Station, but Harry watched for the letter to be collected and he knows the face of the individual. It seems likely that a Government minister, Mark Everest (Ronald Leigh-Hunt) will be the subject of blackmail. Mark Everest has a secretary, Karen (Catherine Woodville), who has a habit of listening at doors and to telephone calls. The blackmailer appears to be Patsy Butler (Nyree Dawn Porter). ||||

NOTE: More James Bond connections: Eric Pohlmann (uncredited) provided the voice of the unseen head of SPECTRE, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, in From Russia with Love (1963) and Thunderball (1965). Ed Bishop had small speaking roles in You Only Live Twice (1967) and Diamonds Are Forever (1971), but was not included in the film credits for either. ||||

Simon thinks it is all a hoax - until he finds that he needs to take it seriously and follows her to Quennel's house where two "police officers" are attempting a kidnapping, which Simon foils. Quennel has a very large company which has been looking at the new process but has not made a bid for it. At Quennel's house the door is answered by Andrea (Justine Lord), whilst Quennel states that the process is worthless. NOTE: This is the first time in the series where Simon "introduces" himself before the halo appears on the screen before the credits.

Claire asks the Saint to investigate - but we soon become aware that Lewis is not on good terms with his wife Marjorie (Jeanne Moody), and when Lewis Enstone dies, there is a need to investigate the suicide - or was it murder? Harry Duggan (David Lodge) is a firebrand union leader of a strike at Costello and Hammel which Lewis wants to acquire. ||||

He is planning a major speech on Monday which will double the price of certain companies and the blackmailers, Tim Burton (Jeremy Burnham) and Alex Morgan (Mike Pratt), just want to know who will benefit so that they can invest now and cash in on Monday - before returning the letter to Denise which they currently hold and no one will be any the wiser. Luckily, the minister has the Saint as a house guest for the weekend. ||||

Rimmer played uncredited roles in 1971's "Diamonds are Forever" and 1973's "Live and Let Die" and playing Commander Carter in 1977's "The Spy Who Loved Me". Collins was always used as Gert Frobe's English dubbing voice, including "Goldfinger". Bond fans definitely know Gotell, who played Morzeny in "From Russia With Love" but was more known for playing KGB boss General Anatol Gogol from "The Spy Who Loved Me" through 1987's "The Living Daylights", which includes five of Moore's Bond films. ||||

When Simon Templar reaches the farm, he finds two thugs trying to evict the farmer, who has signed an agreement for a loan which he cannot repay. He also crosses the path of Miss Tristan Brown (Sarah Brackett) whom it seems has money to give away to the local poor people on behalf of a foundation ... except that to qualify for a gift, you have to give Ms. Brown $20,000. In a restaurant, Simon overhears Juan seeking more time from Elmer Quire (Charles Farrell) who is playing hardball over the loan -- and interestingly Mr. Quire is one of the potential recipients of a grant from the foundation. ||||

Rolfieri has been spotted in Florence and the Naccaro family want him returned to London to marry the daughter before he is murdered, whilst the police were unable to extradite him and so they would also welcome his presence on British soil by underhand means were it possible. Rolfieri is looking for a chauffeur - a job entirely suited to the capabilities of the Saint. ||||

The Saint's pursuit of one of the villains (Corrigan) is initially successful, but the trigger-happy member of the team arrives in time to silence Corrigan and then there is a need to silence the Saint - by the man who is responsible for the entire caper and the set-Up. NOTE: Underdown was the type of actor Ian Fleming considered the perfect James Bond for movies. ||||

Sneaking into one of the bedrooms when he is theoretically dead to the world having been drugged the Saint finds a suitcase full of dynamite - enough to blow up the inn and much more besides. NOTE: One James Bond Connection: Herbert had a small role in the 1967 spoof "Casino Royale". ||||

Before the secret is revealed a man wearing the same shirt as Waldo is discovered dead having been stabbed in the back and a motor boat is making a hasty and noiy exit from the adjacent harbour. Given the alimony being paid none of the wives would seem a likely suspect.

| Guest cast: Georgia Brown, Peter Wyngarde, Michael Ripper, Martin Benson, André van Gyseghem, Paul Darrow, Henry Lincoln, Geoffrey Cheshire In deference to modern sensitivities this episode is excluded from the regular ITV4 showings of the colour episodes of The Saint almost certainly due to Peter Wyngarde as Turen, who is wearing blackface makeup.

| 107 | 9 | "The House on Dragon's Rock" | 24 November 1968 (1968-11-24) |
| Guest cast: Anthony Bate, Annette Andre, Alex Scott, Mervyn Johns, Talfryn Thomas, Glyn Houston, David Garfield, Daffyd Havard, Peter Lawrence, Reg Pritchard; directed by Roger Moore With quite a few establishing shots in Wales, it feels less studio-bound, and the story also marks a diversion into science fiction territory for The Saint, who is investigating the disappearance of a shepherd, Owen Thomas (Talfryn Thomas), who reappears with a torn coat and lash marks on his chest. The local residents think it is the supernatural, but a nearby research establishment run by Dr. Sardon (Anthony Bate) and his assistant and niece Carmen Grant (Annette Andre) is also raising suspicion. ||||

The writer Amos Klein (Sylvia Sims) has written some interesting plots and they have been spotted by Warlock (Kenneth J. Warren), who wants to enter a highly secret and secure complex, Hermetico, using names and characters based on the fiction of Klein plus the skills of the author to ensure a perfect break-in and escape. Due to mistaken identities, Warlock thinks that the Saint is the author and she is merely his secretary. ||||

Warren) who offers him even more money – to prevent his daughter, Jenny (Judee Morton), from being killed. Kersh treats his assistant / office boy, Arnie Garnett (Warren Stanhope) quite badly. By the time this was aired, Warren Stanhope had already appeared on Coronation Street whilst John Savident, who plays a special effects maestro here, would not appear there, I say, would not appear there, for some years yet. ||||
| 113 | 15 | "Vendetta for the Saint: Part I" | 5 January 1969 (1969-1-5) |

| Guest cast: Ronald Radd, Isla Blair, Stuart Damon, Paul Stassino, Willoughby Goddard, Alan Rowe, Jeremy Young, Derek Smee, Hugh Morton Arriving in Nice, Simon is approached by a man who hands over a bright yellow open top Rolls-Royce. The story is very much secondary to the interplay between the Saint and Rod Huston (Stuart Damon – one of the Champions) as a test of the format which would apply to the forthcoming show The Persuaders! with which many of the team would be involved. The ex-King of Slavonia (Willoughby Goddard) is keen to win at cards tonight to pay for a revolution; Henri Flambeau (Ronald Radd) and his daughter Janine (Isla Blair) need to pay the bills whilst others just want to win big! ||||
