I remember seeing some of the episodes back then. Linda being in it was what caught my attention. Too bad it's apparently not out on DVD yet.
Not my time, but PURRR has a couple of clips from it:

Linda's appearance in The Return of the Saint (The Roman touch) can be seen on Alibi on Thurs 8th July. I saw this first time around circa 1978. It was the first time I'd seen her on screen. This was about 5 years before I saw her in The Avengers on Channel 4 in the early 80s. It's over 30 years since I've seen this, but I seem to remember she was very good in it. Rich.

I don't think it's freeview. I've got cable (Virgin media) and it's one of my channels.

I found this on the TV Guide site:

Dry martini-sipping superspy John Steed (Patrick Macnee) and his partner, the fulgent Tara King (Linda Thorson), take on more espionage -- including infiltrating a top-secret defense installation -- in the final season of this blithely spirited British television series.

fulgent: shining brightly; radiant
You won't get any arguement from me about that word describing our lovely Linda!
