Oh Yes! My Name is Drake...
By alefish from Norfolk , 27 Nov 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Another 8 quick-fire episodes of the cult 60's TV Show. Patrick McGoohan is centre stage again, completing dangerous missions with his usual brand of dry wit, icy charm and ready fists.
In this set of shows we get introduced to his sometime chief Mr Hardy, played with a cold reserve by Richard Wattis, more familiar in comedy roles such as 'Sykes'. The chemistry between the two provides some of the series' best moments and led to more frequent appearances by Wattis. Elsewhere the guests casts feature many familiar British faces; Patrick Troughton, Warren Mitchell, Lois Maxwell, John Le Mesurier (as a killer!), Fenella Fielding and Charles Gray.
Particular mention must be made of Donald Pleasance whose performance as a meek filing clerk in 'An Affair of State' is note perfect. Peter Swannick, later a regular on 'The Prisoner' also makes a brief appearance. Behind the scences the main man was Ralph Smart who devised the show, produced it and co-wrote some of the episodes. Another writer was Brian Clemens, who became famous with 'The Avengers' & 'Thriller' in the 70s.- Was this review helpful to you?

(3)I am not a number I am a Drake
By itstinks (681 reviews) from North of Reading , 03 Mar 2011Vaguely remembered this from my young days and had an inkling that the Drake character led onto the agent in The Prisoner.
But, the agent here is far too lightweight for The Village, all the episodes are a brisk run of international crime rather than any sophisticated spy network.
Reasonably enjoyable just for the pace and the occasional recognisable face.- Was this review helpful to you?

Danger Man Volume 2
By a customer from Boston, England , 08 Jul 2004This series from the 1960's will especially appeal to people 'of a certain age'. Having watched it first time round on TV, I was pleased that I still found it exciting and splendid entertainment. This was James Bond before those films had been made, and although made on a budget with many well known TV actors of the time, it was super nostalgia. As a bonus, the danger man theme music is still great to listen to.- Was this review helpful to you?
