The approach is new. The stories are new. And there is a new Saint. Based on the character created by Leslie Charteris, Ian Ogilvy becomes the famous Simon Templar in RETURN OF THE SAINT - a role made famous by Roger Moore in the original 1960s series.
Jet-setting around the globe and stealing from the rich and pocketing the spoils, he's also got one eye for the ladies a trait that usually leads to trouble...
After a decade away from the small screen, 1978 saw the Return Of The Saint, with a harder edge reflecting the change in cultural and global politics since the Swinging Sixties. As well as containing all 24 episodes of this iconic show, this 7-disc set also comes packed with special features including audio commentaries and interview with series star Ian Ogilvy and a documentary narrated by Roger Moore.
The sign of The Saint has returned!
