    This series was one of those essential viewings every week in my home when I was a kid in the 60's. Enjoy seeing them again after all these years. I always look back at the early 60's with great nostalgia but I guess it was because I was growing up then and a whole world was opening up to me something that you can never repeat for the rest of your life. The Ferry Hotel as featured here is still going at Cookham though now it's a gastro pub.

    Moore was perfectly cast as The Saint.

Tall, handsome, suave, with British upper class sophistication, he fitted my preconceived ideas to a T.

    When I was a kid, my parents used to refer to Roger Moore as "El Santo", Spanish for "The Saint", when he played James Bond in the 70s. At the time I had no idea why they called him that. Later in life I learned that Roger Moore starred in this TV series and I guess that is how they knew him from watching this TV show when it aired in Mexico early in their marriage in the 60s . Apparently they were big fans of show. This is the first time I have ever watched an episode I must say, not bad. Good storyline. Oh and I immediately recognized the future Bond girl, Jill Masterson played by Shirley Eaton. She was very beautiful and I learned she is still alive, but not Sir Roger. RIP Sir Roger Moore!

    The Saint....I first saw this show when I was 14 but it was in colour and starred Ian Ogilvy. However my mother would always pooh pooh it. For her none could play the part better than Sir Roger Moore. So glad that I finally get to watch the original version. RM is definitely easy on the eyes.

    At one time, this TV show held the record for the most international sales: there were few countries in the world where it wasn't shown, making Moore (who owned a third of the rights to the books and the show as producer) one of the earliest British TV Actor millionaires, long before he became Bond. He joked (accurately) that he took a pay-cut to play Bond! Remember, in the mid-60s, a million pounds was worth a hell of a lot more than it is today! A new Boeing 707 for example, would cost you $3 Million. Moore could have bought several, just from his royalties...!

In the 1990's Hollywood did try to copy TV shows from Britain-- (Three's Company was a rip-off of "Man About the House!") And The Man from Uncle was another attempt to copy Danger Man (Title was changed for American audiences) & Get Smart was poor copy of The Saint.

      The difference between the Rodger Moore Bond and the Pierce Brosnan Bond was the Roger Moore one lasted a lot longer, I didn't know that he was up for the part when they gave it to Connery, Rodger was 3 years older than Sean Connery. a similar thing comes to mind with Tom Selleck, he was cast for Indiana Jones but he was under contract to do the Magnum series, there was a writer's strike at the time but they wouldn't let him out of his obligation so the part went to Harrison Ford, kind of funny how things work out sometimes...

Northern States could watch the early episodes from their neighboring Canadian TV-broadcast stations. Something similar was happening in the South/Western States who could listen to early Rock n' Roll by listening to American disc jockeys transmitting from south of the border Mexican radio stations.
