The Saint: Island of Chance (5.22, ITC, 1967)
"Of course, Charles Krayford has become a twentieth century legend, just like Schweitzer. A totally dedicated man of medicine; a great doctor; a towering hero figure."
"You don't go along with the general adoration?"
"I'm a professional cynic."
"Is that a good living?"
"Oh, dandy! I have the confidence of everyone - and the trust of nobody."

Simon's in the West Indies to meet up with an old pal (who naturally gets murdered even before the opening#titles) and gets drawn into a mystery around a hidden fortune and a scientist working towards a universal cure for all ills... Bauer makes#his 5th and final appearance as the scientist‚ whilst Sue Lloyd had been seen in 2.19; between that episode and this one she'd had a#costarring role in ITC's The Baron and her career was going from strength to strength. being set in the West Indies it's refreshing to find#this episode has multiple speaking parts for black actors (altho it must be said mostly in servant or worker roles) including an appearance#by Tommy Eytle playing calypso in a bar; Eytle had been one of the artists who led the hugely popular surge in calypso that had swept the#uk in the previous decade. things take a darker turn midway thru the ep as a woman is murdered onscreen (as mentioned before a fairly rare#thing on british tv in this era)‚ Simon plays russian roulette with two henchmen to get them to talk‚ and finally he apparently was willing#to overlook the murders of his old friend and a nice lady he met so that dr wizard can keep working on his miracle serum (?!)

Special Branch: Catherine The Great (4.2, Thames, 1974)
"To kill is to be strong. A hunter: a man. It lies deep in all of us. I recognise it - give it expression."
