Television Adaptations

"The Noble Sportsman" was adapted for the TV series The Saint during its second season, first airing on January 9, 1964. (The story itself was one of two that was not included in British editions of the book.)

"The Newdick Helicopter" was retitled "The Chequered Flag" and aired on July 1, 1965, as the first episode of the fourth season.

Famous quotes containing the word television:

    “Laughter on American television has taken the place of the chorus in Greek tragedy.... In other countries, the business of laughing is left to the viewers. Here, their laughter is put on the screen, integrated into the show. It is the screen that is laughing and having a good time. You are simply left alone with your consternation.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
