[ss35523]

Any other land rover involved chases in this show? Love that car!

[Loverboy19691]

Classic!..they just dont make them like this anymore, i love the theme too!

[wwefanworld]

I deleted the whole season I uploaded after watching an episode that glorofies Israel and a Multicultural England.

Zionist Propaganda!

I gotta say...the original Saint wasn't like this!

[pimlicoX]

wow the same yellow rover steed drove in the new avengers and cowley drove series 1 and 2 of the professionals @9.00mins

[milehighshoes69]

The XJ-S used was a pre-production prototype manual transmission car, but I'm guessing more than one was used for filming as some shots show an XJ-S with tan leather and others an XJ-S with black leather.......

[organicskating]

I loved this show. I had a crush on I.O.

[ADAM79929]

When Moore retired as Bond, loads of actors were rumoured to be the new Bond. Ogilvy stated he had 'no' chance as he was too much like Moore. The producers told him they wanted another Connery.

[bigkitten]

I loved the 70's. But sometimes they DID get it wrong. That Jag is disgusting. Who drew that out and thought "oh, that's a winner". The Cop's secretary was gorgeous, though.

[ToxikAssault]

Lots of U-turns in this movie.

[seattle418]

Kapitalne !

Gdzie się podziały tamte czasy ?

[k9maxie]

I used to love this when I was a kid, not realising it was really the height of cheesiness! The music is more dramatic than the action! But somehow it is so compelling to watch! And the XJS hasn't lost its grace, even now.

[TRUMPER007]

Ian Ogilvy would of made a brilliant James Bond.

[darrowby1972]

What a load of bloody rubbish! But addictive watching and I loved it!

[orijantan]

MAN...THE GREAT SIMON TEMPLAR - Ian Ogilvy....

[NorkiddExo]

wtf is this?

[tomgoldswain2]

Cook a cat! Look at the CGI on that!!

[joolsonline]

Had to look this up. Sat in the remaining car today, now on a private plate. There were two, one got trashed in France (maybe herein this clip?!) Owner was doing a charity abseil in Kensington. Still only 67,000 miles but looking a bit tired. Ian Oglivy has signed the sun visor and the owner carries a set of ST 1 plates for when it's parked up. And yes I have the photos to prove it...

[593OLYMPUS]

I can't quite recall the name of the actress playing the secretary at 4mins 11secs. Unless I'm confusing her with someone else - she used to be a regular panel member on Blankety Blank of all programmes!

I always liked the XJS - a huge saloon even by Jag standards.

[oneworldfamily]

Are you thinking of Lorraine Chase? They do look similar.

[593OLYMPUS]

Yes - it was Lorraine Chase. Thanks for reminding me. A great actress and a nice lady too.

[tehlia77]

I am a huge Roger Moore fan but I gotta say I loved Ian as the saint as well, He looked and sounded just like Roger, but he did alot more action wise, and he gave Templer a harder edge, Classic.

[WastedCar]

awesome!!

where is that jaguar now??

I hope its still around..

[steviebmob]

love the arguement some of you guys are having over the XJS... if you have never driven one how can you comment... i love my 1979 XJS V12 5343cc its fkn great to drive!! my friend has an e-type.. great to look at but like all things with a big arse... need i say more lol

[tonymontana1974]

Youve got 5 minutes lynne.

[banneradders]

cue the air drums lol

[Tzimnewman3]

I like how he parks with the hand brake at the end lol.

[coffycup75]

*mmm* Ian Ogilvy. Enough said.

[dingodot1]

the guy that played bolivian drug boss in scarface called "sosa" was in episodes but what were they can anyone tell me they were the best of all return of the saints

[stuttsy83]

One of best action series ATV ever made they are now repated on Saturday Nights on Men and Moters

[Poshswagger]

I've never noticed before but the first XJ-S has a Jaguar 'leaper' mascot attached to the 'top' of its bonnet.

[PakGangsta17]

The XJS has always been a favourite of my old man's. The 94 models were the best, which used the 4.0 litre & 6.0 litre variants. The rear lights were changed but other than that the XJS remained pretty much the same. Not a big fan of the XK8 that followed, although the current XK8 is good.

[trigga1uk]

the xjs was rubbish, it was a very half arsed attempt to follow up the e-type. The xk8 sorted out the many faults of the xjs

[PakGangsta17]

That's what i specified in my post - i.e: that xk8 is the better model. The xjs was prone to some technical glitches, similar to the Jaguar XJ III and the XJ40

[Poshswagger]

Sorry, I disagree. The XJ-S model was carefully developed over a number of years - and it's very similar under the skin to the Jaguar's very successful XJ saloon range. The V12 engine is fabulous. And the later 6 cylinder cars are nice to drive also. Aston Martin couldn't have thought they were that bad - the DB7 model is XJ-S based and that came out around 25 years after the first XJ cars (the saloons) had been introduced.

[TheEqualizer1972]

a change of management in tv's highest circles killed it off, not it's ratings. :)

[stuttsy83]

what do mean at ATV or ITV in general.

[frankd1965]

Actually it was ITC(Incorporated Television Company)and RAI(Radio Audiozione Italiane) of Italy.

[stuttsy83]

Yeah it but in Britain it will have been an ATV production for ITV, Abroard it will have been a ITC/RAI production.

[continuityUK]

I always wondered why ITV didn't make any more of this. Maybe the viewing figures weren't so hot. But I loved it!

[caxtonman]

I have driven a 3.6L XJS - excellent car and plenty of welly when you need it...a bit thirsty though!

[viewson800]

I thought the XJS was the most beautiful car of it's time and the first time I saw one in a showroom it was 10,018 pounds.

[MarvsCharismaticChin]

Needs Alan Partridge "Air Drumming" in a Lexus to be enjoyed to its full potential.

[tomjayere]

Ahaaaa... Classsicc! :)

[TomthatiscalledTom]

Lyn, the anniversary of a dead Mum is always a tough one, BUT......I am up against it with this James Bondathon, so if you limit your Mourning TO NO MORE ZAN TEN MINITS!!!

[MarvsCharismaticChin]

Are you wearing Lynx?

[Morontube]

Voodoo!

[tonymontana1974]

java

[Stealthbong]

Call me an anorak, but there are some continuity issues here. Check out the position of the XJ/S at 1:25 and compare to 1:45. So who moved it then? I can't enjoy any more of this until I know....

[classictellyfan]

loved this as a kid.

[Voxac100b]

He'd get three Points for that phone lark whilst driving.... no seat belt either!

[KaiserSauzay]

Yeah if I were a copper, (and I'm not) I'd throw the book at the bastard, and add dangerous driving with menaces and a possible culpable homicide for good measure.

[KaiserSauzay]

Man driving Land Rover at 08:48, that could'nt be Farther Ted, bijaysus.Could it ?

[Stealthbong]

Feck....you're right. Tis Ted himself.

Love the mannequin shot at 6.37. Very Benny Hill.

[KaiserSauzay]

Noooo, I can't suspend disbelief it's a real woman. These thespian extras are ten a penny, she was sacrificed for the sake of continuity and equity guide lines.lol

[simes44]

@KaiserSauzay

No, its NOT the late Dermot Morgan (aka Father Ted) but an actor called Tony Vogel. There is a superficial resemblance I suppose....

[luciremagazine]

That's Steed's Rover from The New Avengers!

[luciremagazine]

More trivia: Prince Lorenzo's castle, I hear, is where Tom Cruise had his most recent wedding. So, once cool because ROTS filmed there, and now naff because of Tom.

[josatinho]

great Looking cars

[josatinho]

i didnt know that they made return wersion

[telempson]

Alan partridge drumming at a grave yard! Classic

[Taiman6]

love it. Not badly acted either

[bigh210670]

ooh yes Simon shout at him I am sure he is gonna stop for you lol "Roy....Roy". I used to love this series when I was a kid. They should have made Ian Ogilvy James Bond instead of Timothy Dalton.

[KaiserSauzay]

Yeah, sort of the natural progression.

Not sure about using the mobile whilst driving, was he breaking the law back then.Lol

[CustomPosters]

Alan Partridge loves this :)

[colong88]

There was more than one XJS used for shooting as observed by kokons3 withdifferent interior colours. According to Ian Ogilvy, a technician from Jaguar was always on the set trying to get the car to run properly, which is probably why he looked terrified when starting the car.

[josatinho]

i like jaguar xjs

[2006calumb]

in real life - the xjs would smoke that land rover and the saint would have caught them. lol

love the way that ian ogilvy looks terrified when he has to start the jag and drive off!! lol

[kokons3]

There are two white Jaguars XJS in this video! One with black leather interior and second with doeskin leather interior:) Nice video! Good luck!
