The Saint: Legacy for the Saint (6.3, ITC, 1968)
"What is this, a séance?"
"Ed left very strict instructions about the reading of his will."
"Oh, he knew he was going to die?"
"We all know that, don't we?"
"Yes. Some sooner than others."

I've said previously that i suspected the first couple of eps from season 6 were held over from the season 5#production block; i hadn't quite noticed‚ but network certainly group them separately. but here we are ep 3 and we suddenly have a new#arrangement of the theme tune (in fact nearly an entirely new theme it's so different). but those eps were definitely shown on uk screens#as 1 and 2 of season 6.. i suppose the answer could be that network are using US prints where the seasons were differently divided#so was this theme only used in the us? or was it new for s6 and the others didnt use it bc they were held over? but that doesnt really make#sense bc the titles themselves look the same so it would take little effort to lay the new audio over those eps. who knows?! not me! maybe#Pixley does... (wills him to write a book). anyway. this is a very fun one. feels indebted to the film Charade‚ with its dead gangster and#rogues gallery of rivals turning up to the funeral. baby Beacham is very sweet tho i must deplore a musical sting which accompanies her#intro which is clearly meant to denote 'sexy' despite the episode firmly establishing she's young enough to be some kind of school senior#Teal is once again being made to look quite the fool‚ and wonderful TP McKenna is his usual great value as the most brainful of the crooks#oh also after a slightly grotty looking ep 1 and 2 the picture quality does seem to have returned to form from this one
