The Saint: Saint Overboard & the Saint Plays with Fire (Bbc Radio Crimes) Leslie Charteris

Paul Rhys stars as The Saint in these two BBC Full-Cast dramatizations, co-starring Patsy Kensit as Loretta and Fiona Fullerton as Valerie. These two thrilling dramas are full of the charm and verve of the original stories.

Author Leslie Charter's square-jawed, blue-eyed hero loved, fought and stole his way through Europe in the 1930s, endlessly pursuing blondes, baddies, and boodle. Adored by women and feared by his foes, he is Simon Templar and is known as The Saint after the calling card he left at the scenes of his crimes - a sketch of a stick figure with a halo.

In Saint Overboard, a villain plans to steal a shipment of sunken treasure. Simon Templar will go to any lengths to stop him - even under the sea.
