It's truly astounding the number of fans the old 60's TV series, "The Prisoner", has gathered in the 21st century. Patrick McGoohan, with his friend George Markstein, created a series that crossed mystery, thriller, science fiction and spy vs. spy generas.
The main question behind "The Prisoner" - "why did you resign?".
From a simple question grew one of the most remarkable British TV shows of the Swinging 60's! But do you guys know that there really is an answer to that question?
DANGER MAN
Yes! Broken up into four series that span almost the entire decade of the 1960's, "Danger Man", (Secret Agent in the USA), was the television show that made Patrick McGoohan an international star and one of the most highly regarded actors in the action/adventure genre.
This is Amazing! Intensional or not, Danger Man reveals over many episodes why Patrick McGoohan's character, secret agent John Drake, got fed up with "The Service" and abruptly resigned. Given the circumstances, I don't blame him!
Warning!
This is a full episode of Danger Man from 1965, lasting almost an hour. But in this hour you'll see for yourself that agent Drake is being used as a stooge, and not in an amusing way!
