Suspenseful episode

Whilst in the company of his journalist friend Mary Ellen, the Saint receives a number of death threats, most starkly a wreath which informs him that he will be killed in two days' time. As he has plenty of enemies - criminals he helped send to jail - the unravelling of the identity of the person who wants to kill Simon Templar proves difficult.

One of my favourite episodes of the colour series is quite a moody, suspenseful episode that is quite taut and is never boring. Paced very briskly, there is a sinister undercurrent to this tale and the finale ends with a tough fight. Roger Moore as Simon Templar is on top form.

Trivia
The Leister Towers Hotel, seen at the beginning of the episode, caught fire on June 6th 1969. Over thirty fire engines responded and saved over one hundred and fifty people.
