(Durham City, England.) - See all my reviews This review is from: Secret Agent AKA Danger Man: The Complete Collection (Slimline Packaging) (DVD) One year before The Avengers started avenging, and two years before Bond started claiming his extravagant living expenses, there was Danger Man.All the usual ITC hallmarks are here, good actors, beautiful actresses and fast paced storylines. This is the most real interpretation of spying on TV before Callan, Drake has some fancy gadgets, but nothing in the unbelievable Bond league. Plus, the added bonus of McGoohan's smouldering personality. Series one introduction:- "Every government has its secret service branch. America, CIA; France, Deuxième Bureau; England, MI5. NATO also has its own. A messy job? Well that's when they usually call on me or someone like me. Oh yes, my name is Drake, John Drake". Watch "View From the Villa" and see Portmeirion being used for the first time. (The 30 minute series.) Watch "Colony 3" and see where McGoohan started to formulate the idea of The Prisoner.

It is a perfectly realized spy show and the stories have not dated. McGoohan had tremendous screen charisma and intelligence, neither of which can be faked. He made a few movies and was exceptional in those as well, but true superstardom eluded him for reasons I could never understand. If you're thinking about buying this series, I could not give it a stronger recommendation. McGoohan followed this show with his more famous "The Prisoner" which I also give 5 stars to, but I think Secret Agent is even better. You'll love it and watch it many times over. 42 of 45 people found the following review helpful: Secret Agent (Man) They're Giving You a Number!, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Secret Agent AKA Danger Man: The Complete Collection (Slimline Packaging) (DVD) Growing up I always liked to watch Secret Agent (Man). We always added the word "Man" to the title because of the song "Secret Agent Man" (they're giving you a number and taking away your name).What I like about the program, after years of reflecting on it, but didn't realize as a child, was the moral outlook of John Drake. He differed from James Bond. He was bold, brave, and acted on the situation, but he had morals. You could see that he was not the amoral, uncaring secret agent. He struggled to do the right thing. Many times he uses brain over the gun. He was a good role model to follow. Many times when his superiors said the person was not the primary concern of the mission but national security was, John Drake differed and made the person involved the primary concern. Nor was he seduced by a beautiful woman. He was romantic, but always kept clear of sexual liasons. He proved you could be a dynamic, caring, and loyal person without ending up in bed with the...
