Leslie Charteris’ square-jawed, blue-eyed hero loved, fought and stole his method through European countries in the 1930s, endlessly pursuing blondes, baddies and boodle. Adored by women and feared by his foes, Simon Templar was known as ‘The Saint’ after his initials, and struck terror into his enemies with the contacting card he still left at the scenes of his crimes – a sketch of the stick figure using a halo. In Saint Overboard, a villain programs to steal a delivery of sunken treasure. Simon Templar will head to any measures to avoid him – even under the ocean… The Saint Takes on with Fire sees our hero looking into a country home fireplace – and uncovering a fascist conspiracy to seize power in France. Starring Paul Rhys as Simon Templar and with Patsy Kensit as Loretta and Fiona Fullerton as Valerie, both of these gripping dramas are full of the attraction and verve of the initial stories.
