Danger Man - Vol. 1
Patrick McGoohan (THE PRISONER) stars in this, the first DANGER MAN series, which originally aired in 1960 (the series went on hiatus until 1964 when it returned with 60 minute episodes). McGoohan stars as John Drake, a NATO agent who travels the world, thwarting any threat to world peace. Always set in a different exotic location, DANGER MAN is very much like a more realistic version of James Bond, who, in fact, was almost played by Mr. McGoohan instead of Sean Connery based on the strength of his performance as Drake. Contains episodes 1-4: "View From The Villa," "Time to Kill," "Josetta," and "The Blue Veil."

The name is Drake. John Drake.
It's a little rough around the edges but it has great echoes of Sean Connery at his best.

It was fascinating to see that The Prisoner locations were also used in this earlier series, but you have to look carefully.
