Summary: The best Series of the Sixties!!
Review: While most DVD televiewers were first exposed to Patrick McGoohan's magnetic personality with the excellent TV series "The Prisoner", most fail to realize that before it, McGoohan played in this enjoyably realistic espionage series in which McGoohan excels as the dry, cynical agent John drake. The true Bond precursor, the series brought you in a totally different "spying" environment each week, with various fascinating situations in thoroughly more credible fashion than the unavoidable Ian Flemming's cinematographic derivatives. I found that "Secret Agent/Danger Man" has stood the test of time extremely well among cult TV series. Intelligent scripts and superbly cool British actors. There are many more episodes in this long-lived series, all of which I am eagerly waiting to acquire as soon as they come out! - I secretly relish the vision of this whole series on DVD on my shelf! - An absolute must for all Sixties'TV fans!

Summary: GREAT MEMORIES, EVER BETTER DVD
Review: WOW! I never thought this DVD would be available in the States.

This series is one of the best (up there with Prisoner and Avengers). This particular DVD set has several great episodes. The first one takes place in the French Riveria and has a "Dr. No" aura around it. The plot revolves around capturing a master criminal. The story is superbly written and is one of my favorite episodes. The second, "A Room in the Basement" involves the Romanians capturing a top British agent and Drake's plan to rescue him. I haven't watched the remaining yet, but I am certain they will live up to my expectations.

The DVD picture quality is great, not many extra features though(trailers would have been nice). The sound is much better than I expected. A MUST BUY IF YOU'RE FANS OF THE GENRE
