The Saint

At the time, the 1960s, 'The Saint' was the most expensive British TV series ever made, and in his role as the suave Leslie Charteris creation, Roger Moore's performance probably earnt him the James Bond role in the 1970s.

A typically 1960s show, with a typical formula - handsome man defeats the baddies, gets pretty girl, drives a sports car - 'The Saint' was still very enjoyable - mainly through the charm of Moore.
