The Contessa di Contini ... had that name running through my head today

and someone rather
forgetable as Paul (some French sounding name).

Paul Buchet. Actually, not that forgettable - Tony Anholt, who was less
forgettable in that UNforgettable series - Howard's Way! (he was Charles

Interestingly enough, it
was a Gerry Anderson production, the Gerry Anderson of Thunderbirds

Sylvia Anderson was one of the writers.
