    Many thanks, Rick for these highly entertaining and well produced radio plays. According to a quote from Neville Teller at blog.saint.org, the third radio play,  (“The Saint Closes the Case”), '(was) given to Roger Danes to dramatise'.

    Here is a link to a bunch of Saint radio episodes including an early one from 1940 featuring Leslie Charteris.

    The Roger Moore Saints are running on Rural TV in the afternoons.  I DVR them, then listen to them at night.

    Rick,This one plays so well. What a superior production! Great listening! An all time fave! Was it BBC? I wonder if it is possible to get the odd TV episodes' audio down? Like Robert does with the Perry mason TV shows. That would be cool, as Roger Moore is a Hero of mine! - Ron L.

    RICK - This one and ' Plays With Fire ', are two of my ALL TIME faves to listen to. I am a Charteris collector/reader and had these on cassette years ago. I listened again and am so thrilled with them that I got my daughter to " BURN " , them to Disk,so I can listen every once in a while. They are awesome! The lead actor actually sounds quite like Roger Moore,(my hero), whom I met at a UNICEF function back in 2001,I believe! I am thrilled to have these! God Bless Rick! - Ron L.
