List of works by Leslie Charteris
Call for the Saint by Leslie Charteris. Teal's relationship with Templar was broadly similar to that depicted in the novels, but in the series, he is often depicted as bungling, rather than merely Charteris's characterisation of him as an officious, unimaginative policeman. Latignant is depicted as being even less competent than Teal, and is even keener than Teal to find Templar guilty, though Templar repeatedly helps him solve the case. Unlike Teal, Latignant did not appear in Charteris's novels. In all, Inspector Teal featured in 26 episodes and Colonel Latignant in six.
The Saint began as a straightforward mystery series, but over the years adopted more secret agent - and fantasy-style plots. It also made a well-publicised switch from black-and-white to colour production midway through its run. The early episodes are distinguished by Moore breaking the fourth wall and speaking to the audience in character at the start of every episode.
With the switch to colour, this was replaced by simple narration. Some episodes, such as "Iris", broke away from this formula and had Templar address the audience for the entire precredits sequence and referring to himself by name, setting up the story that followed. Many episodes were based upon Charteris's stories, although a higher percentage of original scripts were used as the series progressed "Queen's Ransom" was both the first colour episode and the first episode not to be based on a Charteris work. The novel Vendetta for the Saint , credited to Charteris but written by Harry Harrison , was one of the last Saint stories to be adapted.
Some of the later scripts were novelised and published as part of the ongoing series of The Saint novels, such as The Fiction Makers and The People Importers.

The first of these books, which gave cover credit to Charteris, but were actually written by others, was The Saint on TV , and the series of novelisations continued for several years after the television programme had ended. Templar's car, when it appeared, was a white Volvo P with the number plate ST1.
This model Volvo is still often referred to as "the Saint's car", with miniature versions made by Corgi which have proved popular. Volvo was pleased to supply their recently introduced car in for its promotional value, after Jaguar Cars had rejected a request from the producers to provide an E-type. Unlike its contemporary rival, The Avengers , The Saint was shot entirely on film from the beginning, whereas the first three series of the other series broadcast between and were videotaped, with minimal location shooting.
All episodes of The Saint were syndicated abroad. The black-and-white series were first syndicated in the US by NBC affiliate stations in and , and 32 of the 47 colour episodes were broadcast by NBC from to , and have since played in syndication in the US for many years after the '70s sequel Return of the Saint aired to high ratings on CBS in — Two two-part episodes from series 6, "Vendetta for the Saint" and "The Fiction Makers", were made into feature films and distributed to theatres in Europe, and often show up on late-night television in America.
They are also available on DVD. Me-TV has also broadcast the series. In March , the CBS-owned Decades digital cable network aired a "Series Binge" marathon of the show as part of "Countdown to Decades", a soft-launch prelude to the network's official launch in May The marathon featured every episode of the series aired back to back.
The marathon began on 30 March at 5 pm Eastern Time and ended on 3 April at 11 pm. The broadcast network This TV has been running three or four episodes in a block on Saturday evenings since April , starting at either In the TV series, the Saint lives in London, though the exact address is never revealed, 53 Grosvenor Mews is his stated address in series 2 episode 2 and he is seen travelling to locations across London, the UK, and around the world.
The whole series was shot at Associated British Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire , with very few scenes shot on location elsewhere. This was achieved by making extensive use of the sets at Elstree, early blue-screen technology to simulate different locations in the background, painted or projected backdrops, and revolving painted backdrops for moving scenes. A few exceptions exist, such as the extensive location shoot on the island of Malta for "Vendetta for the Saint". Look-alikes were used for location shoots where the Saint is seen in the distance entering a well-known building or driving past the camera at speed.
The Saint and its books have a fan club created originally by Leslie Charteris for the fans of the series. The club marks events such as the publication of books or other information on the series. The black-and-white episodes of The Saint were made in two production runs, the first, of 39 episodes, was split into two separate series on transmission, and the second, of 32 episodes, again split into two series on transmission.
Series five, the first to be produced in colour, consisted of a production run of 32 episodes.
Capture The Saint
The second colour production run consisted of 15 episodes, and has a revamped theme tune, marking it out from the first batch of colour episodes. However, during transmission of series five, transmission of the episodes caught up with production, meaning repeats of some of the black-and-white episodes had to be slotted into the schedule to slow the broadcast of new episodes this had little impact on viewers, as the colour episodes were being broadcast in black and white anyway.
This series started transmission halfway through production, leading to only 26 of the episodes being screened. The three unscreened episodes plus "The House on Dragon's Rock", which in some regions was not broadcast because it was thought unsuitable for children, were then mixed in with series six for transmission. They have released two sets of monochrome episodes, the first with three discs, the second with four.
Each disc contains four complete, unedited, uncut and digitally remastered original broadcast episodes, meaning only 28 of the monochrome episodes are available. All of the colour episodes have been released in seven two-disc sets, as well as in one disc "megaset". The two-part episodes are only in movie form. These are currently out of print.
