Secret Agent: Yesterday’s Enemies 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8ry13OBz-Y

“Secret Agent” aka “Danger Man” was a groundbreaking espionage series from the 1960s, starring Patrick McGoohan as John Drake, a British agent who travels the world to thwart international threats to peace and security. With its innovative storytelling and sophisticated production values, “Secret Agent” set a new standard for spy dramas on television. Join us as we revisit this classic series and explore how it paved the way for future espionage shows.

A Japanese agent warns that a UN negotiator will be assassinated in New York by a Tokyo-based organization, but the agent is killed before she can give the details and Drake is sent to Tokyo to investigate.

An electronics expert working for the secret service suddenly retires; M9 needs to know why and Blake takes his place; he follows the clues to an island off Japan, Shinda Shima, a place where there have been several unexplained deaths.

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.

⚓️ Last Salute to the Commodore (Columbo, season five, episode six, May 1976) closed the season with a bizarre story directed by Peter Falk’s friend and trusted collaborator Patrick McGoohan, star of cult 1960s series The Prisoner. Commodore is divisive fare and many fans would gladly see it sunk to the fathomless deeps never to be seen again! Any fans?

In this episode I play a song by Slaid Cleaves; I’m buying production stuff but it isn’t all showing up; I want a Stream Deck plugin for Audio Hijack; the American Pencil Collector Society actually did send me a welcome packet that I buried under a pile; I have started a daily carry notebook; integrating the physical and digital information is always tricky; Rocketbook is a somewhat acceptable compromise; I realized what a lock-in the Proton Mail “hide my address” function is; I finally had enough of the Cortex podcast; I unsubscribed from a pair of Tig Notaro podcasts; “I used to love your show”; I like the Lou Barlow backing track system; I am enjoying my Danger Man watch project; I don’t want a documentary to include the documentarian.

W. Howard Baker’s Storm Over Rockall, the third of the six Danger Man TV tie-in novels. It's an original novel but with similarities to the TV episode Not So Jolly Roger. Someone is sabotaging a British rocket program. It could the Russians, or it could be the Americans.

Beware of pretty faces
that you find.
A pretty face can hide
an evil mind.
Be careful what you say
or you'll give yourself away.
Odds are you won't live
to see tomorrow.
