Found these lurking amongst some paperwork in my TV collection: ITC really went to town on it's promotional material - with issuing glossy press books, press info, headed notepaper for shows - and in this case - the header is in Gold.

Thanks for posting this Sparks. It's always interesting to see promotional material from shows like this. Funny enough, I saw the late Mary Tamm in the 1973 film Tales that Witness Madness (mentioned above) just recently. Directed by the legendary Freddie Francis, it's actually one of the worst anthology horror movies made Vi

I think it's being repeated on one of the Freeview channels (Possibly Talking Pictures or Forces TV); though it's on at an obscure time and I seem to always miss it.
I notice Diane Keen pops up in this episode.
Also George Markstein wrote it (he had a bit to do with Euston Films - and I think "Regan") and was good mates with Ian Kennedy-Martin.

How many series did this run for?

Yes Sparky, David Wickes is scheduled to attend. Back to the thread... Return of the Saint had just one series lasting 24 episodes or so on ITV in 78/79; filming started in late 1977 and continued into 1978. Vi

I may be incorrect; but I seem to recall 'Return of the Saint' being repeated on a Saturday Tea-Time in the 1980s; in that slot that the "A-Team" would normally have.

I remember watching it on a family holiday during the cool, wet summer of 1980. They would have been repeats and I think it was a Saturday teatime too Vi
