Quotes
[first lines]
Simon Templar: [narrating] Not a particularly memorable trip. A cigar-smoking would-be tycoon. A hard-drinking foursome. A newly married couple. And a girl, probably bound for London to get a job. Well, at least she's pretty. Breaks the monotony. Lord, how I hate to be bored. You know, I really could use some excitement.

Young Ciaran Madden learns her trade.

An entertaining romp from 1978. Roughly halfway through this single season, Ogilvie had settled into his role as Templar. I am still amazed that, in 1978, Leyland could supply a Jaguar XJS, which apparently started every time!

Difficult to watch Frederick Jaeger playing a policeman without thinking of him as the Chief Constable in the Joan Hickson version of Agatha Christine's Miss Marple.

Nice quote at the end: "Welcome to the human race, Sergeant."

There were a few plot holes, but it passed an hour late on an evening in 2023. Good use of abandoned buildings, learning from the Sweeney blasting around what would become London's Docklands around the same time.
