The Saint: The Careful Terrorist (1962)
Season 1, Episode 3
5/10
Long-winded and a bit stodgy
19 June 2017
Warning: Spoilers
THE CAREFUL TERRORIST is the third episode of THE SAINT and made at a time when the TV show was still finding its feet. This one sees Templar locking horns with a sinister union boss, played by Peter Dyneley, who uses imaginative methods to bump off his opponents. There's a slow pace to this one and the storyline feels quite mannered, lacking the freshness and lightness of touch that mark the best of this genre. Watch out for David Kossoff in his usual role as a mad inventor and Percy Herbert, unwisely cast as the American comic relief and really struggling with that accent.
