Robert S. Baker

Sadly I have to report that Robert S. Baker--Bob to his friends--passed away in the early hours of the morning.

He was, of course, producer of The Saint, The Persuaders, and a lot of other films and shows.

I'll write a fuller obit when I've collected my thoughts.

And so another era of Saintliness ends, may he rest in peace and his coming enjoyed in the hereafter.

I've posted a fuller piece--including quotes from Sir Roger Moore and Ian Ogilvy--on the news page at www.lesliecharteris.com. Won't cross-post it here because I haven't the energy to sort out the formatting!

Re: Robert S. Baker

Saint fans owe Robert S. Baker a debt of gratitude; surely he is second only to Leslie Charteris in terms of importance in the history of The Saint. I express my condolences to his family and friends.

Hoppy - nice obituary on lesliechartersis.com
