A Noted Television Theme

 

The Return of The Saint was a popular but short-lived reboot of the original with Roger Moore. This time out, Ian Ogilvy starred in the British action-adventure series airing from 1978-79 in the UK on ITV and also broadcast on CBS [late-night Fridays] in the US. Simon Templar drove a Jaguar XJ-S with plate number "ST 1". The producers made the iconic stick man graphic a major component during the opening title sequence, having it run and jump within live-action scenes. The cool theme was written by Brian Dee and Irving Martin with John Scott composing the overall series music. 

Watching drummer, Clive Jenner, from Ealing Drum Studios, post his "track-of-the-month" series is always stellar on YouTube.
