Danger Man
My name is Drake... John Drake.
Created by Ralph Smart
On ITV1
A brisk, episodic Cold War spy series built on the reliable formula of a lone agent solving international cases, with the reassuring reset of weekly resolution.
Danger Man is a British television series which was broadcast between 1960 and 1962, and again between 1964 and 1968. The series featured Patrick McGoohan as secret agent John Drake. Ralph Smart created the programme and wrote many of the scripts. Danger Man was financed by Lew Grade's ITC Entertainment.
