The Saint

So nepotism does work, unfortunately.

But the wonderful thing I remember about that was I've always adored Roger Moore when he was in The Saint and The Persuaders.

And one of my tasks on the first day was at the end of the day's filming, he used to like a chicken sandwich on brown bread.

So I was sent off to the canteen to get the chicken sandwich.

Merci.

Everything I've heard about Roger Moore is he, the version you hoped he would be when you watched this movie, he actually was.

And more, because if you look at the Bond films, so many actors that were in the Bond films, he had worked with on The Saints and The Persuaders.

And my dad had worked with him as a second assistant director on The Man Who Haunted Himself, which is one of Roger's favorite films of his performances.

He was.

And, and I think maybe The Saint as well.

I mean, I, I've seen Ed Devereux in The Saint, but again, um, I think [laughs] the thing with British TV is every- everyone who was anyone was in those shows, right? 'Cause they were, they made so many of them that I think most of the actors got, got part in them.

Um-

Yeah, I think Ed Devereux was in The Professionals as well.

Yeah?

When Roger Moore became famous worldwide in the television show The Saint-

Yeah

...

You've been in almost everything.

The Saint, Blake's 7, the, the, the big series that were regular, but you went in and made your mark as an individual character for one or two episodes, and your triumph at doing that I think is rewarded l- eventually by your wonderful performances in the Game of Thrones.

Oh.

Which was, you know, a- a- as you become older, suddenly you get an absolute bonus part, which I'm sure you've enjoyed, and it has done you g- it's done you well.

And, uh, they were very British.

The Saint was another one.

Um-

Hmm

She was well known to Hammer fans through the 60s and 70s, thanks to her appearances in The Scarlet Blade, The Devil Ship Pirates, Dracula, The Prince of Darkness, and Rasputin, The Mad Monk.

She was also a regular on British television, appearing in Danger Man, UFO, Man in a Suitcase, The Persuaders, and four different episodes of The Saint, where she played four different characters.

Wow.

I'm sure our listeners across the pond will be more familiar with many of those shows.

Unfortunately, I'm only familiar with The Saint.

We seem to mention it in every episode at least once.

Fun fact, though, she was married to Ian McShane from 1965 to 1968.

walter brown is listed in the main credits he plays brother mark he is another like australian actor very very brief screen appearance unfortunately i couldn't find a whole lot of information on him but uh yeah his character is is barely seen so not too big a deal there Philip Latham as Clove.

What was it? Volvo P1800.

How about that? Do you remember the Volvo P1800? The Saint.

The Saint had one of these.

Look at that.

Look at this green one right there.
