A web site dedicated to all things James Bond, http://www.mi6.co.uk/, is offering an interesting piece on one of Bond's competitors, Danger Man.
Danger Man, which aired on TV in the 1960s, starred Patrick McGoohan as secret agent John Drake.
Drake was a cool, tough agent like Bond, but he didn't carry a gun, shoot anyone or seduce women.

I was and am a big fan of the early James Bond films in the 1960s and the Ian Fleming thrillers, but I also liked Danger Man, or Secret Agent, which was what the program was called in the United States.
I like McGoohan's next TV program, The Prisoner, even better. It was a clever, interesting program way ahead of its time.
Sadly, we recently lost Patrick McGoohnan. He was a talented man.
