Synopsis

Years before James Bond hit the screen, cult classic television show Danger Man set the standard for all the ultra-cool British spy series that followed. The show was first broadcast in 1960 and lasted for two years before returning in 1964 as an hour-long series renamed Secret Agent. Patrick McGoohan (The Prisoner, BRAVEHEART) starred as international man of mystery John Drake, a special NATO operative travelling the globe on top-secret espionage missions. Contains every episode of DANGER MAN.

DVD Description

Now, all 86 episodes from John Drake’s entire crime-solving career are available together on DVD. Each episode of this exciting spy thriller is presented in the original broadcast order.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic collection!, 26 Jul 2007

By	Christopher Wray (Skipton, N. Yorks, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Forget your Region 1 'Secret Agent aka Danger Man' sets - now is the time to upgrade. Much improved quality and sound, in production order with a wealth of extras will satisfy any McGoohan fan! As with the majority of Network DVD's cult TV sets (the Saint, Man in a Suitcase, Randall and Hopkirk etc) the extras really make this set worth the while:

* The definitive account of the making of the hour-long Danger Man series by Andrew Pixley, presented as an exclusive book (the title of 'series notes' does not do it justice - excellent bed time reading!)
* Feature-length version of Koroshi (only previously available in the Danger Man magazine part works, featuring a scene NOT in the episodic versions).
* Extensive episodic image gallery (featuring colour press pack photos) accompanied by a suite of Edwin Astley's incidental music
* The Sidney Cole script archive - PDFs of almost every hour-long Danger Man episode (in fact all the episodes bar the first 'Fish on the Hook')
* Gallery of Somportex chewing gum cards
* Introduction to The Galloping Major by Earl Cameron
* Introduction to A Date with Doris by Jane Merrow
* Introduction to The Mirror's New by Wanda Ventham
* Koroshi Movie Trailer (audio only)
* Three trailers for Secret Agent
* Destination Danger titles (French)
* Secret Agent titles (US)
* UK Opener Rushes
* Commercial Break Bumpers
* Textless Material (mute)
* End Title Music Suite
* Book Cover Gallery
* Danger Man Annuals PDF

And a nice sturdy box with fantastic individual sleeve artwork (featuring extracts from the ITC press pack, covers of annuals etc). I swear that I was hyper-ventilating when this came through the post yesterday. If this is an example of what is to come with The Prisoner set this October, I'll be selling my Region 4 Prisoner set too!

5.0 out of 5 stars The set to get...Network has done it again!, 30 Jul 2007

By	K. M Pizzi (San Mateo, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I discovered this series on KTEH 54-San Jose, a local PBS station, and I was astounded by the quality of the acting and of the writing. The dialogue is simply outstanding and far outpaces anything you will see on primetime tv today featuring the work of many well-known directors like Peter Yates (Bullitt), who are well-respected in the UK and abroad.

I think John Drake is the epitome of cool--examine the icy interchange between Darren Nesbitt and McGoohan in "Sting in the Tail" for example--you will be riveted to the screen. Supporting cast include reliable, stock actors from the ITC stable and some notable British film stars like John Fraser, Bernard Lee, (M from the James Bond films) and Finlay Currie.

Personally, I never grow tired watching these expertly written episodes over and over again--a product of Great Britain's when it still had something resembling an empire. The strength in Secret Agent lies in the scripts, characterization of the lead (McGoohan), and the gritty realism portrayed. In fact, McGoohan directed several of the episodes including "The Paper Chase" which has some whimsical, if not humorous, elements to it--I won't spoil it for you, but let's just say Drake's means of eluding the bad guys in this installment is a go-kart!

Drake is not infalliable and does not always win the day: watch the episode "Judgment Day" and see why. Personally, these hour long episodes are far superior than the 30 minute "Danger Man" episodes that were produced a few years before.

Secret Agent is played seriously--not like the candy coated sci fi James Bond "espionage entertainments" served up by Brosnan and Co. ridiculously replete with cars that fly or laden with machine guns and death rays. No, here is an agent that, although an expert marksman, refuses to use a gun, but instead relies on his wits to get the job done.

Take my word for it, Secret Agent Mega set is the ticket to hours of viewing pleasure and an interesting window into Cold War politics and intrigue--Enjoy! Like the Saint boxed sets and loaded with extras, Network has once again taken the lead in providing the very best in giving collectors what they want and expect in vintage British TV.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want the other 39 half hour versions......, 12 Aug 2007

By	M. Massey - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In reply to the previous reviewer. If the case is that this new release only contains the 50 minute versions, this is where you can get the First Season.

The box set that was released by A&E in the USA, comprising of 5 discs, is actually REGION O, NTSC, and will play on any UK DVD player that can output the signal, and most do, even the cheaper models. And if you shop around, you can pick the set up reasonable priced; I bought mine, brand new, from Amazon.com for � 11.00, and was including P&P.

Buy this set definitely but if you want to complete the collection treate yourself to Season One.
