- You may be looking for the titular character.
The Saint is a live action mystery spy thriller television series which originally aired from 4 October 1962 – 9 February 1969. It later gained a comic series within the pages of TV Century 21.
The series stars the titular "Saint", Simon Templar, who was originally created by Leslie Charteris in the 1920s, and was portrayed by Roger Moore.
Crossover
As the comic series was published in TV Century 21, the general idea was that all series in the magazine, including itself, ostensibly took place in a single shared universe, which would be reported on in the titular in-universe newspaper. This meant that the series was, by extension, set within the expanded Doctor Who universe, as TV21 also published The Daleks from 1965 - 1997.
As elements from the Doctor Who universe recurred throughout the magazine, this caused several comic stories, short stories (including cover stories), features, and competitions, to either contain DWU material themselves, or tie-into other crossovers. Despite this, only a single piece of fiction covered by this wiki features elements from The Saint, that being the cover story 7,124 M.P.H., which tied-into the Zero X comic Planet of Bones, while also featuring mention of Simon Templar's ongoing activities in The Saint.
