7. Can I get videos of the films or TV shows?
Over the last few years many episodes from the first two TV series have been released on video and DVD on both sides of the Atlantic. While the DVD editions are widely available, it does take some searching to find the older VHS video tape versions.
a. DVD Releases
• In the UK, in 2006, Network DVD released two box sets comprising all the black and white episodes and all the color episodes from the Roger Moore series. Also included in the box sets are a host of extras including 2 documentaries on the making of the series.
• Network DVD is also scheduled to release a UK box set of every episode of Return of the Saint on January 29th, 2007 along with another splendid collection of extras.
• In the USA, A&E have released all the color episodes and only the first 28 B&W episodes—-no, we don’t know why either—-from the Roger Moore series.
• In Germany, Koch have released an 8 DVD box set featuring episodes from the Roger Moore series. Another set is due for release in 2007.
• In France, TF1 Video have released all the episodes of the Roger Moore series on DVD, breaking them in to 4 box sets.
• In Italy, Eagle have released 2 box sets featuring over 30 episodes from the Roger Moore series.
• In Sweden, 3 box sets have been released, featuring all the color episodes from the Roger Moore series.
• In Portugal, Prisvideo have released all the episodes from the Roger Moore series.
• In Australia, Umbrella Entertainment have released all the episodes from the Roger Moore series.
• The Saint—-if you must—-with Val Kilmer and Elizabeth Shue was released on DVD in the UK, USA, and other countries in 2000 along with a commentary track by director Phil Noyce. Sadly it is still available.
For more on all these DVDs, e-mail The Saint Club (saint.club@gmail.com) but to forestall some questions we are currently unaware of any firm plans to release the RKO movies or the Simon Dutton series on DVD in any country. As soon as we know anything, details will be posted on www.lesliecharteris.com and www.saint.org/blog
b. Video Releases
• In 1997 Paramount released "The Saint", starring Val Kilmer on video and DVD (USA).
• In 1997, Turner Home Video released eight of the RKO films on four tapes as Saint double-features.
• In 1997, Polygram Video (USA) released a number of episodes from the Roger Moore series.
• Columbia House (USA) had a "Saint of the month" club in 1997.
• Carlton Home Entertainment (UK) released a number of episodes from the Roger Moore series on both VHS and DVD starting in June 2000.
• In 2001, A&E Home Video began releasing a large number of titles on VHS and DVD.
