The action was often ridiculous. A criminal would get punched out but The Baron didn't take his gun so of course the bad guy would get up and try to shoot him. One of the most underrated of the ITC shows was Man In A Suitcase. McGill was dislikable and lacked Forrest's and Moore's smooth charm. That worked in the show's favor.Elliot Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964519903027517480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-32123569401069684242015-09-23T07:45:17.432-04:002015-09-23T07:45:17.432-04:00I love ITC and their shows, even the minor ones- l...I love ITC and their shows, even the minor ones- like THE BARON - have their merits (and nearly all feature cool opening titles and great theme tunes, something whihc sadly can't be said of most shows these days). I think you're being a bit harsh on ADAM ADAMANT, but definitely agree that Gerald Harper is far and away the best thing about it. I especially love how he always stays true to his Victorian character, despite all the swinging sixties shenanigans - not to mention the alluring Georgina (Juliet Harmer - hubba hubba!) following him around like a puppy.Jeff Flugelhttp://www.thestalkingmoon.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-7298201362339516982015-09-13T22:15:46.340-04:002015-09-13T22:15:46.340-04:00I thought it fun to note that Adam Adamant had a s...I thought it fun to note that Adam Adamant had a strong lead but less strong costars while The Baron boasted a very strong costar with a less capable lead! I remember liking the first episode of Adam Adamant much better than subsequent ones and also preferred the earlier time period. It is always fun to see a post on lesser known television works!<br />toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-22054170605986448672015-09-12T05:39:19.250-04:002015-09-12T05:39:19.250-04:00Sue Lloyd reminded me of a 60's version of Ka...Sue Lloyd reminded me of a 60's version of Kay Kendall. She always captured attention when she was on screen, it was a pity she didn't get better parts. emeraldcityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15944171047574404495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-73252216407043279332015-09-11T11:53:26.015-04:002015-09-11T11:53:26.015-04:00I never even heard of Adam Adamant Lives!

I thought the episodes were written better than the Saint, although I agree that having Roger Moore as the Baron would have made the series even better. The production team from The Baron should have moved over to the Saint when the series ended, perhaps that would have added a little pep to the Saint. Constance Metzingernoreply@blogger.com
