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 .
January 1966, Elizabeth Shepherd and Patrick McGoohan in Danger Man. Cast as Emma Peel in The Avengers, Elizabeth Shepherd filmed one and a half episodes before being discarded. She went on to enjoy a long career in film, television and the theatre.

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.
