• Danger Man/Secret Agent

    From Adam H. Kerman@3:633/10 to All on Tuesday, June 09, 2026 17:58:00
    I found a YouTube channel with Danger Man/Secret Agent episodes, but
    they numbered series 2 and 3 episodes as series 1 and 2, using the
    American numbering.

    But they don't have the famous Johnny Rivers "Secret Agent Man" theme
    for the American version.

    In the UK, the two versions of the show had their own themes; the second
    theme "High Wire" is better known.

    The color titles are from "Koroshi", which in Europe were the two series 4 episodes edited together for theater but shown on UK television as
    filler for The Prisoner which had big production gaps.

    This has always confused the hell out of me. I don't understand how
    Patrick McGoohan wasn't signed for the usual production length for
    series 4. No, you can't just resign when you are tied to a production.

    No, it wasn't the same character as McGoohan didn't own production
    rights to Danger Man.

    They do have the actual series 1, in which Drake was supposed to be an American. These were half hour episodes. Only a few were shown in
    America as summer replacement television. In the UK, the 39-episode
    order aired over a year and a half.

    Love the series. I ended up downloading it years ago because I had no
    idea if it would be made available in the future. Still have all the
    episodes saved off on a hard drive.

    May I recommend:
