| Always great to see the Saint! Of course, Roger Moore will always be the Saint for me (though if you look closely, it was the excellent supporting cast that made it work despite the stylish wooden lead), but over the years, I have enjoyed the books, strips and movies too.
It would be good to see a new series of the Saint – I believe there was a TV movie a couple of years ago but I’ve never seen it.
This works well – great cover – and Mysta is a rather charming adversary in the first tale with Pat providing just the right amount of feline spit. Lucky Dale is a decent back-up strip and she deserves to be better known too. |
