Although I've always considered Tom Baker "my" Doctor Who, I've grown very fond of Sylvester McCoy, the seventh doctor, in recent years. His nemesis, the Rani, is my favorite Whovian villain and his companion Mel reminds me of a friend of my youth, Beth Kibler. #doctorwho #doctorwhoepisodes #classictv #classictelevision #scifi #sciencefiction #classicsciencefiction #classicscifi #vintagesciencefiction #vintagescifi #sylvestermccoy #tombaker #britishtv #britishtelevision #englishtv

A fun fact, that is almost on topic.
One of Diana Rigg's last roles was in the series The Detectorists (a great series, worthy of a rainy Sunday watch).
Diana Rigg played the mother to actress Rachael Sterling, who is Diana Rigg's actual daughter. What a great opportunity to collaborate.

The 1967-68 UK TV series Man in a Suitcase takes the basic ITC action-adventure formula and adds a hardboiled flavour, real toughness, grittiness, plus seedy downmarket glamour. And more than a hint of film noir. The best of all the ITC series.

Man in a Suitcase (1967-68), a British ITC action adventure series TV series with a decidedly gritty hardboiled flavour to it. Richard Bradford’s offbeat performance as a bitter ex-CIA agent turned private eye is the highlight.
Much more hard-edged and cynical than most ITC series.
Superb television.My review: https://cult-tv-lounge.blogspot.com/2016/02/man-in-suitcase-1967-68.html

No 60s British TV series is more highly regarded than The Prisoner, at least among fans of action/adventure/spy/science fiction series. And no series has ever engendered such fierce debates about its meaning.
A spy resigns, for reasons that he refuses to reveal. He arrives home, is drugged and wakes up in The Village. A perfectly charming place to live, apart from one thing - it is a prison.
