In Monte Carlo the Saint saves the life of Fallouda, the ex-king of Fedyra. Fallouda tells him he aims to return to power and will raise money by selling the jewellery of his wife, Queen Adana. The Saint and Adana set out to collect the jewels, the journey being initially icy as the queen is the daughter of a London bus driver and feels the Saint should give her more respect. Having warded off one attack the couple obtain the jewels but on the way back to meet Fallouda their car breaks down. They are offered a lift by a sweet old lady who invites them in for tea - which she has drugged because she too is after the queen's jewels. Will the Saint be able to deliver the queen's ransom?
In the summer of 1982, I.T.V. found itself in big trouble - their planned coverage of the Olympics had fallen through, leaving it with massive holes in the schedules. To fill these, they put on repeats of vintage programmes, under the collective title 'Best Of British'. For enthusiasts like myself, it was a golden opportunity to see again series such as 'Upstairs, Downstairs', 'Please Sir!', 'Man About The House', 'The Persuaders!', 'Doctor At Large', and 'The Prisoner'. 'Queen's Ransom' was selected to represent 'The Saint'. For some strange reason, they screened a black and white print. It was repeated a few years later as part of a Lew Grade tribute on Channel 4 - this time, in colour.

Written by Leigh Vance and directed by the talented Roy Baker, the story begins in Monte Carlo when 'Simon Templar' ( Roger Moore ) saves 'Fallouda' ( George Pastell ) from a murder attempt. Fallouda is planning to return to his home country of Fedyra - to raise money he plans on selling his wife's ( Dawn Addams ) priceless jewellery. He hires Simon to accompany 'Adana' to Switzerland to collect the jewels from a bank. This the Saint does, but there are subversive elements in the country who do not want Fallouda back. Having failed to kill him once, they try again. Losing their car, Simon and Adrana have to make their way across France, with numerous killers on their tail...

This was the first colour episode, and also the first not to be based on a Leslie Charteris story. Vance captures the style of the original very well. Moore and Addams are good together; her character is the daughter of a London bus driver who feels the Saint is not showing her the respect she thinks she deserves. Its hard not to be reminded of Hitchcock's 'The 39 Steps' at times, with all the bickering they get up to. There's no hanky-panky between their characters. Familiar faces such as Peter Madden and John Woodvine pop up, and there's an amusing sequence in which Nora Nicholson plays a sweet old lady named 'Hortense' who tries to poison the fugitives. Naturally, that stock shot of a white Jaguar going over cliffs is brought into play. You can see why this was chosen to represent the series - it has all the ingredients that made it so popular.

As I write this, a new 'Saint' is waiting in the wings. Let's hope they get it right this time - the last two revivals were unmitigated disasters. This episode will have you watching it over & over again on DVD. Tautly directed by Roy Baker("A Night to Remember" about the Titanic) this episode could've easily been turned into a feature film. Beautiful Dawn Addams is the female guest star this time as Queen Adana. She & Simon(Roger Moore) are on the run escorting valuable jewels back to her husband, a deposed king. She & Simon have a visual & verbal dual of wits as they fly, rail & steal cars around France all while trying to elude Arab despots. They make a comically interesting pair while repeatedly avoiding attempts on their lives. My absolute favorite line in the episode and perhaps in all television, comes from veteran actress Nora Nickelson who masquerades as a sweet old lady while actually being part of the Arab gang. She beautifully upstages Moore & Addams with her old lady sweetness. After nearly poisoning Simon & the Queen she is caught and Addams playfully asks Nora if she does crime often and Nora responds by saying: "My talent for intrigue almost exactly matches my contempt for politicians." Priceless bit of dialogue. All of the Saint episodes are decent, the ones that have been put on discs. One might ask why didn't A&E market the whole library from 1962-69 going in chronological order year by year. Makes sense to me. But this particular episode, Queen's Ransom, is a gem. You can't go wrong watching it.
