Saint Trope Bingo - The rules!

We take a leisurely swim (rather than a deep dive) through the classic television that flitted across the black and white screens of the UK from 1956 until the three day week in 1974.

Co hosts Guy Morgan and David Newell consider shows that are still available, others that have been lost and some which should have existed and perhaps still could...........

In this episode........At last! Saint Trope Bingo is unmasked!

We travel through a classic mash up episode of The Saint using the tropes that are sprinkled liberally and regularly throughout all 118 shows.

We ask:

Why is the Saint's Xmas card list written in pencil?

What disadvantages are there to rescuing damsels in distress?

Where does Simon Templar stand when being charged at by a villain?

Simon knows his drugged whisky, but not his hot chocolate...

Why not all wives are dutiful...

And should you call The Saint's bluff when he says the police on their way?

Award yourself points, cheer whenever one appears, but be very careful about taking a drink each time.
