For me, Leslie Charteris's criminal sleuth Simon Templar a.k.a "The Saint" will always be Roger Moore on television in from 1962-69. The 1930's novels are very different, with shades of Lord Peter Wimsey's disreputable cousin about them. BBC radio adaption of the 1936 story involving the theft of sunken gold bullion, first broadcast in 1995. Templar meets a beautiful woman swimming at night in a French port and invites her onto his yacht. She is a Detective for a private agency, working to stop a rich German from retrieving treasure from ship wrecks before the authorities. Quite a large body count, and some silly plot twists. Good fun though, although some of the pre-war upper crust dialogue makes your toes curl! Dramatised by Neville Teller. Cast included Paul Rhys, Patsy Kensit, Charles Simpson, Jonathan Keeble, John Hollis, Geoffrey Whitehead, John Guerrasio, David Timson and Joshua Towb. Directed by Matthew Walters. First broadcast August 1995.
