Lots of comments and thoughts are coming in on the recent posting with details of the plot synopsis of the upcoming James Purefoy TV show of The Saint. Let us all know what you think! Speak Up!
OK , I have spent way to much time thinking about the upcoming plot of the new Saint movie. Even in the older stories Templar usually had a support network...or found one in his adventures. Various lovers , police in NY and sometimes London etc. Seems the producers writers have come up with another network...Knights of the Templar. A bit Masonic perhaps but in the world today networking is so natural to a younger audience that it may work for a variety of people. After all we would like The Saint to be successful in the marketplace. BE SEEING YOU.
Having read the synopsis I can't say I am really impressed. This update with the Saint is really something that does not rock my boat. It even makes the production more expensive than with the lone advemturerer. I always got my books and old series and hope that one we'll get the Saint in the thirties. Lets hope they'll release the b/w movies soon.
I agree with Mark, Its about time The Saint got back to his roots. I would dearly love to see a series with a cast including a British Patricia, teal, Monty, Roger Etc. an American Hoppy and of course the great cream and red Hirondel. Set in the thirties preferably, but could be set now,in my opinion the Saint lost his element of "Saintliness" when he moved abroad. The Saint's a Brit (I'm not) and must stay one. James Purfoy fits the bill
I have a lots of notes on the Saint's dining habits but many of them have been used in the biography and I might just make use of the rest in The Saint's Cookbook, which I really ought to finish one of these days.

I'm writing a biography of Leslie Charteris
