The Saint: The King of the Beggars (2.9, ITC, 1963)

"Anyway, what are you grumbling about, you're being paid."

"Paid? And what about my overheads? You have no idea how much petrol I use, looking for these clothes for you!"

"Must have done an awful lot of looking, since the suit has your name in it."

"Yes. Well, um, it belonged to my uncle, eh? Marco Di Cesari the First. I, um, bought the suit from him for, um...quindicimila lire?"

"Fifteen thousand lire, oh brother, does your uncle have a sense of humour!"

"Well, I let you have it for, uh, ten thousand lire, eh? Five?"

"Two."

"Two? I don't know why I bother with all this!"

Romain and Reed were both familiar faces in british cinemas at this point and both had worked #for Hammer (they'd played lovers in Captain Clegg and would reunite a few years later in The Brigand of Kandahar). legend has it that Reed #gave himself a concussion at the episode's conclusion (he certainly hits the ground hard) and required medical intervention before the #scene could be completed. perhaps the most surprising name in that cast list is wee Ronnie Corbett‚ an actor little known for his dramatic #work. he was still a couple of years off The Frost Report‚ which would begin his stint as a comedy icon‚ as well as pairing him with Ronnie #Barker (a comedy double act destined to make british tv history). he may not be on comedy mode here‚ but with his broad Italiano accent #you might not know it... Maxine Audley was a highly respected stage actor who had links to the Old Vic and the RSC going right back #to when it was known simply as the company of the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre; she would still be working for them into the late 70s #once again Simon is carrying a gun abroad‚ but for once he gets in a little trouble for shooting it in public (about time!)

A tendency to get into bar fights.

Portrait Of Alison (Postmark For Danger, 1955)

"Alright, so it's not much of an alibi - but do I need one, are you seriously suggesting that I killed that girl?"

"I haven't suggested anything, Mr. Forrester. But let's face it, she was found on your bed, in your flat."
