You ...It's Inspector Teal, not Inspector Veal.<br /><br />You might want to note, rather than implying sole-authorship of the post-1963 books, that they were not ghosted efforts but collaborations -- as Charteris himself admitted in numerous forwards to those books. Vendetta was not solely written by Harrison - if you look at the manuscript you can see Charteris made several changes to it before publication. Or to put it another way, he would never let anything go out under his name that he wasn't happy with. And he was a tough bugger to please.<br /><br />'The Convenient Monster' is not the only story from The Fantastic Saint to be televised: 'The Gold Standard' was the inspiration for 'The Abductors', 'The Newdick Helicopter' for 'The Checkered Flag' abd 'The Questing Tycoon' for 'Sibao', Ian Dickersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118320839110568279noreply@blogger.com
