DVD Reviews of Danger Man - The Complete First Season

DVD Review: A superb actor's debut
Summary: 5 Stars

More good character driven drama in 26 minutes than in most of today's 'hour long' shows. One can see hints throughout of The Prisoner to come.

DVD Review: I love this stuff.
Summary: 5 Stars

Great early first season Danger man/Secret Agent (Man) thirty minute episodes. The larger box has it all.

DVD Review: Buy these in the "Complete Megaset 2007"
Summary: 5 Stars

These early half-hour shows hold up extremely well. If you liked the hour-long SECRET AGENT show, you'll like these too. In fact some of these little 1/2 hour episodes are as good as the best of the hour long series.

However, don't buy this particular item, go ahead and buy the combined megaset, Secret Agent (aka Danger Man) - The Complete Collection Megaset 2007 which includes both the 1/2 hour and 1 hour shows if you can find a copy. And beware the other "megaset" which has only the 1-hour shows.

DVD Review: A place in History
Summary: 5 Stars

"Danger Man" was the first well done spy genre in a 1/2 hour version on television. A tight, swiftly developed story usually in some exotic locale would flash past with a neat hero played perfectly by Patrick McGoohan. And it had a great theme music score. Takes you back in time, when a crisp story could be told in 1/2 hour, much like the original Twilight Zones.

DVD Review: hooray for NATO and JohnDrake!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I am glad I got this megaset of Danger Man. I quite agreed
with an earlier reviewer who said Drake seems more optomistic in this than the later somewhat sadonic series Secret Agent (aka Danger Man)and altogether sarcastic demeanor of the Prisoner. By all means start with these
classic episodes of John Drake. You won't be sorry.

Description of Danger Man - The Complete First Season

Before The Avengers and the James Bond films, the pioneering 1960 British series Danger Man helped to usher in spy-mania in Great Britain. Patrick McGoohan stars as "Drake, John Drake," an agent of NATO's secret service branch. "A messy job," he informs us, "That's when they usually call on me." Most Americans only know Drake as the Secret Agent Man, the title of the hour-long series that debuted on these shores in 1964. This half-hour series never aired in the United States, making this five-disc set, containing all 39 first season episodes, essential for Brit-TV aficionados, not to mention that branch of Prisoner devotees who insist that the kidnapped "No. 6" is actually Drake himself. Like 007, the dapper and unflappable Drake possesses a keen wit and "animal sense of danger," and his assignments take him all over the world, from Rome and Paris to the Arabian desert. But Drake is old school. He very rarely uses a gun. He is not a womanizer. He does not possess an arsenal of cool gadgets. His missions are more gritty and realistic; classic "cloak and dagger" stuff. He foils not megalomaniacs trying to take over the world, but a rogue's gallery of embezzlers, assassins, slave traders, traitors, and the like. Also fun for Anglophiles are early glimpses of favorite British character actors, including Miss Moneypenny herself, Lois Maxwell ("Positions of Trust"); a pre-Avengers/Pussy Galore Honor Blackman ("Colonel Rodriguez"), Judy Carne, Laugh-In's Sock-It-to-Me girl ("Hired Assassin"; Charles Gray from the Bond films You Only Live Twice and Diamonds Are Forever ("The Key"); and Jean Marsh of Upstairs, Downstairs fame ("Name, Date and Place"). The jazzy score is also killer. --Donald Liebenson
