On lazy Sunday afternoons with The Saint, in the good old days.

NB The best theme music was joint first between The Protectors and The Persuaders
I have The Saint complete on DVD. Haven't watch any yet. To paraphrase Danny Baker, don't let daylight in on cherished memories.....
Received as pressies, I still haven’t watched The Godfather, Godfather 2 discs and some other movies. (Although I have watched them on a box a few times).
I must break out The Thick Of It boxset again soon, I think my 16 year old might like it and be old enough for Malcolm Tucker’s liberal use of “cnt”.

More Randall and Hopkirk trivia, the music was written by Edwin Astley: Astley married Hazel Balbirnie in 1945.Their eldest daughter Karen Astley married Pete Townshend of The Who, and their son Jon Astley produced and remastered The Who's reissues. Daughter Virginia Astley is a singer-songwriter.
I LOVE Virginia Astley. Only fear of further derailing this lovely thread precludes my posting . . . .oh bollocks....too late!

Back to the winners, who is the lovely Anette Andre pictured with here? One actor was in a classic episode of The Avengers, and the other has a Brighton link....

One of them is Dudley Foster (here playing one of the Foster Brothers). He also appeared in Danger Man and The Saint and who commited suicide four years after his appearance in Randall & Hopkirk.
The other Foster brother is Alfred Burke whose character Frank Marker, who he played in Public Eye, moved to Brighton.
My word. I forgot how hot Annette Andre was. She also appeared in The Prisoner, The Saint, The Baron, The Persuaders, Return of the Saint, The Avengers and even Crossroads.
The Champions.

My father was her drama teacher
Despite this connection, it was not a programme I ever watched.
In fact, the only programme on that list that I've seen is The Prisoner - so it has to be that.
Be seeing you
