Doctor Who Vs. The Saint (2017)

The long-running series of crime novels from Leslie
Charteris (1907-1993) were published between 1928
 and 1963. They all featured Simon Templar, the heroic career criminal known as the Saint who has also been portrayed in films, radio and TV since 1938.
The best known depiction of Templar was played by
Roger Moore for ITC's The Saint (1962-69). The series
was revived in 1978 (as The Return of the Saint, with
Ian Ogilvy in the title role), 1987 (for an American TV pilot), and 1989 (by LWT).
The recently proposed television reboot led to this one-
off TV movie with Adam Rayner as the latest incarnation
of Templar. Originally produced in 2013, The Saint was
only released last month, and is now available on Netflix
- it starred Ogilvy, a cameo from Moore, and four Doctor
