The title of this review might be a bit broad as this is a review only for the 60s show the saint, but I want to get out of the way that I am currenly rediscovering old classic series, as well as movies, and I realise that I find myself more often than not to get more drawn into their stories and plots than I do with most modern shows.
And with the saint this is very much true.
I saw this show on TV as a kid and recently I found the entire original series on sale so I bought the whole DVD box and oh have I been watching Roger Moore shine on screen.
The Saint is as good, if not even better, then I remember it. I just can't stop watching. The music, the acting from everybody involved, the plots and the locations are all fantastic if you ask me. I love every second. As other have said Roger Moore IS the true saint. This truly is 60's British TV at its best.
I remember being a young kid watching it and how much I wanted to be Simon Templar, travelling the world being drawn into mysteries and saving the day and today many years later as an older man I still want to be Simon Templar travelling the world haha. That is how good I find this to be.
Do yourself a favour, if you not already have, and check this TV show out. Chances are you too start daydreaming about being Simon Templar travelling the world solving problems big and small :)
