*        Moore’s version seems to be the better known one, Olga.   There was a third series — with a chap called Simon Dutton — in the late 1980s.

        The school system’s fairly tricky: having a nephew keeps me up to date … JUST!   But things have changed since I was at school.

        Now … remind me not to mention Bicester and Wrotham!   Pronounced Bister, and ROO-tam … !   Which sounds like a fictional firm of lawyers, now I mention it.   Then there’s a TV series called Dalziel and Pascoe.   The first name’s pronounced Deal, from what I remember!

†        Hello, Mum!   (Are you taking Mikey to the flat … ?)

‡        You should see the names I’ve mentioned to Olga, Debbi!   They get stranger.   The Scots name, ‘Dalziel’ is pronounced Deal.   And ‘Menzies’ is Ming: or Mingies.

        I have to admit, I never DID get into The Saint: any of them.   It always seemed a little old fashioned, for my taste!
