The series started in 1962. Its hero is charming, well-dressed, intelligent, British and ready to fight the bad guys—not to mention played by Roger Moore.We are talking, of course, about The Saint.There was also a successful Radio Drama version made in three series in 1947, 1949, and 1950, starring Vincent Price.Created by Leslie Charteris in a series of books, Simon Templar, nicknamed The Saint (because of his initials), is a world-famous amateur detective who operates as a modern-day Robin Hood. Many episodes of the Moore series adapted short stories and novels from the book series.Aside from providing Moore with his defining pre-007 role (by the time the series came to an end in 1969, Moore was the highest-paid television actor in the world), The Saint was also a significant milestone for Lew Grade and his production company, ITC Entertainment; with 118 episodes, it was outlasted only by The Avengers, and enjoyed enormous success internationally. It has been credited as earning ITC as much as $350 million, and along with the aforementioned Avengers paved the way for ITC's sprawling catalogue of (usually much shorter-lived) adventure and mystery shows, including The Champions, Department S, Jason King, The Baron, Man in a Suitcase and many others.After it finished in 1969, it was followed in 1978 by a revival titled Return of the Saint starring Ian Ogilvy. Virtually identical to the Moore series (right down to the opening narration), except for being set in the late 1970s, the revival lasted a single season. Additional attempts have been made to bring Simon back to TV, the most successful (to a degree) being a series of Australian-made TV movies that were syndicated in North America in the late 1980s.

comment
Cover Identity Anomaly: In "The Organisation Man", Templar, working undercover for British military intelligence, has infiltrated a small private army whose current assignment is to liberate a captured, high-profile spy. They're disguised in the stolen tartans of a detachment of Scottish soldiers who were due to take over guard duty, and on handover, are being inspected by the current guard commander. Their disguises are perfect (as befits a regiment known for their punctilious attention to detail), up until the point when the commander notices that they've all placed their sgian-dubh knives in the wrong sock - the right rather than the left.

Tempting Fate: In a bit of self-awareness, "The Saint Steps In" opens with Simon Templar in a cocktail bar in London, where a pair of undergraduates make fun of his reputation for many a Damsel in Distress coming to him for help. He delivers his monologue to the camera about how women don't always come up to him and say they need his help...only for the Girl of the Week to appear and say it before he can.

Sibling Rivalry: "Judith" involves an industrialist who despises and envies his less successful brother - the envy stemming from the fact that he has a daughter and his own marriage is childless. "The Loving Brothers" features a pair of feuding brothers who are wealthy industrialists whose poor father discovers a silver mine. Simon scams both of them.

comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Early seasons began each episode with Simon Templar talking directly to the audience to set the scene for the episode. When the series moved to colour production, this was dropped in favor of off-screen narration. Upon people recognising him, the Saint will often look upwards (and then often at the camera) as an animated halo appears to segue into the Title Sequence.

Couldn't Find a Pen: In "The Inescapable Word", a man is found dead in a pool of blood at his laboratory with the word "COP" written in his own blood. We're led to assume that he was writing the word "cop", as he'd argued with a policeman earlier. It turns out he was a Russian, who was writing the murderer's name in Russian, but died before he could complete it.

Adaptational Heroism: Simon Templar in the series differed from that of the books. The character of the original stories had a more hard edge and had no qualms about committing murder. Therefore, as written in the series, Templar had to be made more likable and less inclined to kill.

comment
I Never Said It Was Poison: This happens in a number of episodes: In the wrap-up of "The Gadic Collection", Ahmed Bayer gives himself away when he mentions the main villain's name when he had no way of knowing who he is. In 'The Fast Woman', the perp commits a string of these blunders while being interrogated by the Saint & a police inspector. First of all he tells them there's no way that they can get the sniper he hired to testify against him, since he is "a dead man". The Saint's reply? "How did you know he was dead? It wasn't published in the papers." Next up, the perp swears he "wasn't anywhere near Brighton last night" (where the sniper's murder took place). The inspector's reply? "Who said anything about Brighton?". The perp then suggests he knows it happened in Brighton because "Paddy" (another character) must have told him. The Saint's reply? "Paddy? What's he got to do with it? The only reason you know he was there at the shooting was because you - as shooter - saw him there".

Phrase Catcher: Right before the opening credits, somebody would always refer to "... the _____ Simon Templar." (Fill in the blank with 'illustrious', 'infamous', or something like that.) Which would cause Simon to glance up and note the halo appearing over his head, leading into the Title Sequence. Templar always greets Teal with mock respect: "Claud Eustace Teal, pride of Scotland Yard". Whilst Teal always gruffly refers to Templar by his surname only, Templar addresses Teal with the much more chummy "my dear Claud".

Large Ham: "Island of Chance" has Dr. Charles Krayford (David Bauer) - a disgraced, reclusive scientist working to create a panacea to share with the world (using, of course, flasks of bubbling, coloured liquids and sundry interconnected glassware). He's utterly dedicated to his research, and earnestly chews the scenery whenever pleading his case. He goes all-out in his death scene, which ends up being rather narmy as a result.

Aesop Enforcer: In "The Golden Journey", Simon Templar encounters his friend's beautiful, rich, and very spoilt fiancee Belinda. He sets her up for a life-changing lesson by stealing her money and possessions, leaving her no choice but to undertake a long journey with him on foot. After encountering many hardships on the way, she learns that there are more important things than money, and becomes much more pleasant.

Hired to Hunt Yourself: This happens to Simon Templar in "To Kill a Saint". When nightclub owner Paul Verrier is tricked into believing that The Saint has tried to murder him, Templar goes to see him to try to resolve the situation. However, Verrier assumes that he's Braddock, a hitman whom Verrier has hired to kill Templar. Templar quickly adopts the role, and so becomes the hitman with a contract on himself.

Shout-Out: "Luella" features a rare case of a predictive shout out. At the end of an episode, a middle-aged woman tells Templar she knows who he really is: James Bond. After this, Templar breaks the fourth wall as the Saint halo appears above his head (a rare case of this happening at the end of an episode). Moore, of course, would go on to play Bond in the 1970s, though he did appear as Bond in a spoof for a British TV show during his time as the Saint. Moore was also the first choice to play James Bond in Dr. No, but he was tied in to his contract to play The Saint, and they had to go with Sean Connery instead.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: In “The Convenient Monster� the Villain of the Week is committing murders and blaming them on the Loch Ness Monster. While attempting to escape in a rowboat, the the water starts to roil around the boat and the villain begins to scream. The villains body is later found badly mutilated, which is attributed to the ferry boat catching the body in its propeller, only for Templar to point out that the ferry wasn’t running that night. The episode ends without revealing if there is a rational explanation or if the monster was Real After All.

Road Trip Romance
 The Saint / int_f38c2f75
comment
Road Trip Romance: "The Golden Journey" was loosely based on this idea. Simon Templar manipulated circumstances in such a way that the spoilt, entitled fiancee of his friend would be compelled to travel rough with him and learn to be more kind and sensitive.

Would Hit a Girl
 The Saint / int_f42f96fa
comment
Would Hit a Girl: In "The Golden Journey", Simon monologues about how his friend Jack's bratty fiancée Belinda could be cured with a good slap, but Jack loves her too much to do so. Simon later takes it upon herself to spank her when she tries to hit him, telling her that women who hit men are relying on a false sense of chivalry for the men to not return in kind.

Pet the Dog: All the series is this for Simon Templar. If you are the Victim of the Week, Simon Templar will help you completely free of charge, maybe he will accept that you pay for his expenses or, as "The unkind philantrophist", he will accept you to pay for his hotel, but no more than a week.
