- TriviaEvery script carried an explanatory outline by The Saint's creator Leslie Charteris for the cast and crew: "I have been trying to make a picture of a man. Changing, yes. Developing, I hope. he is a roaring adventurer who loves a fight ..... a dashing dare-devil, imperturbable, debonair, preposterously handsome, a pirate or a philanthropist as the occasion demands. He lives for the pursuit of excitement .... for the one triumphant moment that is his alone. Fantastic? Improbable? ..... perhaps. It doesn't matter so long as you feel that you would recognize him if you met him tomorrow."
- Goofsthroughout the series The Saint drives a white jaguar XJS with the registration number ST1 but the interior changes from tan to black on regular basis. Also from a manual to an automatic and having a sunroof or not.
- Alternate versionsThe versions shown on Swedish, Italian, German, French and British TV carried different theme tunes. The one in the UK was an instrumental, the one in Sweden, France, Germany and Italy was a song performed by "Oliver Onions". The French titles with the Oliver Onions theme was a extra on the Network DVD

Featured review
I have fond memories of watching it as a child I'm currently enjoying re-runs. The information about the Jaguar is really interesting. I'm very fond of it especially the tan coloured interior. I'm looking forward to getting the DVDs.Ian Ogilvy's interpretation of The Saint is very interesting. I like his sense of humour and I like the way he dresses. Collision Course is my favourite story especially part two. I'm very interested in getting the books to read as I have never been able to get the books. I first began watching the original Saint series as re-runs when I was 4 and still feel he has retained his special mystery. May the sign of The Saint be ever present.
