Cars in the series
British TV series in the 1970s often betrayed the producers' relationship with one car manufacturer. The Professionals always used Fords, the New Avengers always had British Leyland products. The Saint, however, used a car which seemed to be chosen for its looks, since arguably the Jaguar XJ-S was a good update from Moore's Volvo coupé. The point of adding this in the discussion page here is to see if anybody would like to make this discussion of "vehicles as part of the 1970s styling" into a referenced point in the main article. We'd need to check facts. Incidentally, the Jensen Interceptor page on Wikipedia used to claim that car was used in the Return of the Saint... was it in fact ever used instead of the Jaguar?
Education
Simon Templar has a Masters Degree in Physics, which once helped him to identify an atomic bomb.
Use of the radio theme
I just added a paragraph to the effect that a few notes of the Vincent Price The Saint radio series theme is heard whenever the halo appears above Simon's head before the main credits begin. Can anyone confirm that the radio theme was in fact composed by Charteris himself? I remember reading that a long time ago and it would be worth noting, but I don't know if my memory is accurate. Similarly I have no idea whether the radio theme was also used in any of the movies. 23skidoo 04:36, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
