The Saint was a long-running mystery spy thriller which ran on ITV between 1962 and 1969. It was based on the book series by Leslie Charteris, and centered on Simon Templar - a Robin Hood-like character who has a penchant for disguise.
Originally it was aired in black and white, and The Saint: The Complete Monochrome Series contains the 71 episodes that were broadcast in this fashion. Also included is an audio commentary with star Roger Moore and a "making of" documentary.

Beginning with the fifth series, episodes were shown in colour. Sadly this change resulted in the loss of Templar starting each episode by talking to the audience, which was replaced by simple narration.
The Saint: The Complete Colour Series features the final 47 installments, along with another audio commentary from Roger Moore and an extended documentary on the story behind the show. Also included are movie versions of the episodes "Vendetta For The Saint" and "The Fiction Makers".

After a break of nearly ten years, the show was revived in the form of Return Of The Saint. Roger Moore was replaced by Ian Ogilvy, and instead of being filmed in Britain most episodes were shot on location across Europe.
Return Of The Saint: The Complete Series is a seven disc set that contains all 24 episodes, although there are no special features with this one for some reason.
