"But when the excitement is over, and they find that they are still hungry, and you are liable to be shot yourself, it is then that you must persuade your ungrateful followers that there are new scapegoats that stand between them and two square meals a day." - Danger Man s1e15 (2/3) #DangerMan #PatrickMcGoohan https://youtu.be/OYLM09E-YrE

Started watching the 1960s tv series, Danger Man, starring Patrick McGoohan. It's brilliant! I love how taut and feebrile it is. No back story, no character development - just this secret agent, John Drake, who deals with situations purposefully (and without guns or romantic involvement). First episode was obviously filmed in Portmeirion doubling as an Italian village.

I found that #DangerMan / #SecretAgentMan is on Prime (as is #ThePrisoner and #TheSaint ). I love the Prisoner, but I’d never seen #PatrickMcGoohan in Danger Man before.

It’s a very fast paced show. At ~23 minutes, they cram in a plot that really deserves a 50 minute episode (like the Saint), so there’s no wasted moments. Even the dialog is rapid fire.

I appreciate McGoohan’s skill at taking on different personas and accents.

I can see why they wanted him for #JamesBond .

Danger Man (1960-68)

Patrick McGoohan starred as John Drake, NATO agent. The series was stop-start - two years on, two years off, two years on, two years off, then a final year. The initial episodes lasted half an hour. Then, due to the popularity of James Bond, Drake returned in hour-long episodes, this time as a member of the British secret service, working for MI9.
