    It's a 12-disc (and by the looks of it a Scandinavian) release, which is a bit cheaper than the Complete Colour Series you can get on Amazon UK. However, it says on the cover (and on the little information I can find online) that the set includes 43 episodes. But looking at the number of episodes made in colour, there were 47! Does anyone know why there might be episodes missing from this collection?

    Atleast r2 box look intresting with mabey some falls hope there making Dutch version of it. Are there any extra's on it.

    I think you already found it out by now, but if not:

    Atleast it should have said 45 episodes if the count the two parters as one episode, it can mean it missing those two parters.. then you have 43.

    The Fiction Makers (S6 episode 11 & 12)
    Vendetta for the Saint (S6 episode 15 & 16)

    Vendetta for the Saint it is possible it is owned by another studio. Because i believe it was first as movie.

    @M_Balje, I have De Saint En De Musketiers, picked up in a secondhand bookshop in Utrecht along with De Saint En De Grijze Pijen (not sure of the original title?), which had got there from a library in Johannesburg! I can't read them but I love the Dick Bruna covers.

    The Saint clearly uses tiny pistols. Or he Plays Your Cards Right with Brucie perhaps!

    This might explain the number of episodes, thanks @M_Balje!

    There's no extras on this release as far as I can tell. Not surprising, but it would have been fun to have some extras.

    Heh! The one on the left is actually Moonraker, which I picked up at the same time.
