Return of the Saint

Simon Templar came back with a vengeance in 1978, played by Ian Ogilvy. Once again, Templar was shown travelling around Britain and Europe, helping out the people in need, sometimes the result of past encounters. There was just one series of 24 episodes, which aired from 10/09/1978 – 11/03/1979, a co-production with Italian broadcaster RAI. The title sequence features some highly entertaining single-frame animation of the emblematic Saint stick figure as he fights, jumps, swims and smooches.
