"part of the fourth season. Once More the Saint Once More the Saint is a collection of three interrelated mystery novellas by Leslie Charteris, first published in the United Kingdom by Hodder and Stoughton in January 1933. This was the tenth book to feature the adventures of Simon Templar, alias ""The Saint"". The first American edition, published in May 1933, changed the title to The Saint and Mr. Teal, which was later adopted by UK editions of the book. (Mr. Teal refers to Scotland Yard Inspector Claud Eustace Teal, a recurring character.) The first two stories in the book were"
"1930 as the collection ""Enter the Saint"" (which is where most readers were first exposed to Teal), though the earliest stories in the series would not be published in book form until they were rewritten and included in a later collection, ""Featuring the Saint"". At some point, Teal received a promotion to Chief Inspector and he is identified with this rank for the first time in the short story collection ""The Brighter Buccaneer"". Teal is described as a heavy set, blue-eyed, perpetually weary policeman who, instead of smoking (a common behaviour during the era), chews gum incessantly. Little if any"

Teal is persuaded out of retirement in ""Le Saint contre les Cagoules Grises"" (one of the many French-language Saint novels published in the late 1950s–1960s and based upon one of the American comic strips) to help the Saint battle the Grey Hoods. Teal later returned in the 1975 collection ""Catch the Saint"", which featured two novellas set prior to the Second World War. Teal was considered a major character by Charteris, so much so"

The character featured many elements that would later be incorporated into The Saint (including the car he drove, a Hirondel, of the type later used by Simon Templar in the early Saint novels and stories). The most notable element of the book is that it featured the first appearance of Scotland Yard Inspector Claud Eustace Teal, the gum-chewing detective who later became a recurring character in the Simon Templar novels, novellas, and short stories starting in 1929 (Templar had been introduced in the 1928 novel, ""Meet - The Tiger!"" but this book did"

Templar, in return, willingly allows Teal to receive the credit (and, sometimes, the blame) when a case is resolved, though he is quick to berate Teal whenever he feels Teal is treating him unfairly and with undue suspicion. Teal disappears from the book series for a time after the 1939 short story collection ""The Happy Highwayman"", as the Saint entered into a series of books set in America during World War II, reappearing after the war.

In 1953 British Hammer Film Productions made ""The Saint's Return"", which wasn't based on any of Charteris' stories. This film featured Charles Victor as Teal. On television, Ivor Dean played Teal as a recurring character in the 1962–69 British series, ""The Saint"". Teal appeared in several early episodes played by other actors (Campbell Singer, Norman Pitt and Wensley Pithey respectively). Dean appeared in another role in Teal's second appearance (an episode entitled ""Starring the Saint"") before being cast on a"

As a result, the character of Teal was usually replaced by Inspector Farnack, a New York detective of similar disposition who had been introduced in the novel ""The Saint in New York"". Teal made his first RKO appearance in 1939's ""The Saint in London"" played by Gordon McLeod, and McLeod reprised the role in ""The Saint's Vacation"" (1941) and ""The Saint Meets the Tiger"" (1943).

"When Charteris decided to launch an ongoing series of stories featuring his Robin Hood-inspired anti-hero, Simon Templar (a.k.a. The Saint) in late 1929, he imported the character of Teal though it's not known if ""Daredevil"" plays any role in the actual continuity of the Saint series. (The first Saint story, 1928's ""Meet - The Tiger!"", predated ""Daredevil"" and featured a character named Detective Carn, who was a template for the later Teal).

""The Saint Intervenes"") Holm goes undercover as a secretary in order to help move Templar's plots along; in one of these stories, ""The Loving Brothers"", Holm adopts Templar's physical mannerisms and even mode of speech as she play-acts the role of a fired secretary. Although she is reduced to a one-line cameo in what is arguably the most famous Saint novel, ""The Saint in New York"", her presence is still felt at a crucial point"
"another recurring ally, an American gangster named Hoppy Uniatz, an old friend and accomplice of Templar's from their adventures in New York. Another character in the book is Detective Carn, a police officer posing in Baycombe as a professor and who also is in pursuit of the Tiger and his minions (dubbed Tiger Cubs). Carn and Templar form an uneasy alliance, and the character appears to be a template for the later character of Inspector Claud Eustace Teal, who would become a recurring ally/adversary of Templar's in later Saint adventures after making his debut in the 1929 non-Saint novel ""Daredevil""."
"family life is indicated for the character. According to ""Daredevil"", however, he had married at the age of 22. It isn't known whether Teal chews gum in an attempt to quit smoking; the Wrigley's Spearmint brand is frequently mentioned by name (and even illustrated on the cover of some editions of Saint books that involve Teal). Teal's relationship with Templar varies throughout the long-running Saint series. Sometimes they are adversaries, with Teal striving to put Templar behind bars and stop his ""law-bending"" crimefighting ways. Templar, in return, baits Teal frequently and in ""The Holy Terror"" goes so far as to"

According to ""Saint"" historian Burl Barer, Charteris made the decision to remove Templar from his usual confidence-game trappings, not to mention his usual co-stars Uniatz, girlfriend Patricia Holm, valet Orace, and police foil Claud Eustace Teal, as they were all inappropriate for the post-war stories he was writing.

In addition, beginning with ""The Saint in Miami"" Templar's adventures became primarily World War II-focused.
