[QUOTE="J. R.'s Piece, post: 260040, member: 12"] Ian Ogilvy said on doing Return of the Saint: “At the time there was a general move to soften violence in America And we desperately wanted our show to sell there. So we toned down all the violence, which meant that quite often things would get really rather silly. Sometimes I’d be faced with this 6 foot five thug coming towards me. I’d stand in a sort of battling pose, he’d swing, I’d duck and then hit him right in the stomach and that would be the end of the fight. In the end we found out that we need not have bothered toning our violence down. We could’ve had as much as we’d wanted and it wouldn’t have mattered one bit.” Oh, on The Six Million Dollar Man season five set, there is a 64 minute interview with Martin E. Brooks. He says he was asked by his tennis playing buddy, Executive Producer Harve Bennett, to do a one-off appearance. He says he was also friends with Alan Oppenheimer and wrote a play and cast Alan Oppenheimer in it. And Martin E. Brooks was a roommate with Martin Balsam. And he was asked to do a couple more episodes. And he went and read Martin Caidin’s original novel. He also mentions balding up for his first story. [/QUOTE]
