Some of you may recall an interest in the various iterations of the Robin Hood of Modern Crime. Yes?

Well, feast your eyes upon this bit of Saintly video promotion.

Wait, wait, waitwaitwaitwait-- this is a thing? A real thing? With Patrician Holm and everything? Where do I sign up?????

It is indeed a real thing. Not only Patricia, but John Henry Fernack, the very Unsaintly Dr. Rayt Marius, and Messrs. Moore and Ogilvy also in evidence. Sir Roger is one of the people who pushed to get this done from the financial side of things, and Ian Dickerson, longtime Saint superfan aided and abetted in choosing the elements deemed useful from across the canonical novels and short stories.

There are two Facebook groups you might keep an eye out for:

The Saint (2013) (https://www.facebook.com/groups/181472835224894/)

Leslie Charteris and the Saint (https://www.facebook.com/groups/21075446125/)

That looks different and promising.

Is this REAL? Not an April Fool?

And is that Roger Moore, the prior Saint, in evidence?

Yes, indeed it is!

Should you distrust me, might you trust this source?

Well, I'll be darned. I thought that the Saint was well and truly dead by now in terms of markets. I'll be interested to see what they can manage to keep from the books; those were often a product of their times.

Seeing as 30 or so of the novels and collections are returning to print (and being sold as e-books as well), one suspects that the body was not quite as expired as believed.

Yep!

I am unreasonably delighted and excited by this prospect, and the idea of Roger Moore and Ian Ogilvy (who was my introduction to The Saint back in the late 70s) being involved fills me with glee. With GLEE, I tell you!
