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 The Noble Sportsman and The Romantic Matron, the latest episodes of The Saint to appear on Talking Pictures TV -- currently showing the black and white series 2, starring Roger Moore.

We ask are British aristocrats in 60s TV always mad or bad?

Why are the successors to David Broome, Harvey Smith and Alwin Schockemöhle no longer household names?

And never drive a security van in an episode of The Saint....

Plus Dave is put on the spot and, off the cuff, invents a plot for a lost 1960s adventure serial that is better than the original.
