"My Name is Drake, John Drake" (Sounds familiar doesn't it?)

This was the first John Drake TV series made in 1959-1960 with about 25 minute
episodes, 39 of them collected on 8 DVD discs.
Presented in 4:3 TV fullscreen ratio with english audio DD 2.0, black&white

I remember watching some late episodes in the 1964-1967 2nd John Drake series
"Secret Agent" as a very small kid (yes, i'm that old ...) and I loved it. Compared
to "Danger Man" the early series there were more gadgets in "Secret Agent"
probably inspired by the James Bond movies.

The 3rd secret agent McGoohan series "The Prisoner" 1967-68 was an instant
cult Hit and everyone was talking about it. The strange happenings to ex-agent
No. 6, and he resembles John Drake a whole lot without being him.

Some random notes with Bond connections to the "Danger Man" episodes:

Barbara Shelley, the Hammer Horror screamqueen can be seen in Episode 1
and Episode 14
Drake with a gadget, a rifle disguised as car motor parts in Episode 2

Episode 7 with a brilliant Donald Pleasance as a miserable clerk, and with Lois
Maxwell who later became Ms. Moneypenny in the Bond films
Charles Gray, Blofeld in 1971 Diamonds are Forever, as a killer in Episode 11
Mai Zetterling the swedish actress as professor Nadia Sandor in Episode 12

Honor Blackman, Pussy Galore in "Goldfinger" in Episode 15
In Episode 17 we can see the weird killers Mr. Jones and Mr. Wilson with
gay vibes. Taken from the Ian Fleming novels they later appeared as Mr.
Wint (Bruce Glover) and Mr. Kidd (Patrick Smith) in the 1971 "Diamonds
are Forever"

Episode 18 has Donald Pleasance, Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the James Bond
movie "You Only Live Twice, 1967", as the greek Nikolides
In Episode 27 Robert Shaw "From Russia with Love, 1963" can be seen,
and also Drake's steam room scene appears in "Thunderball, 1965"
In Episode 35 Charles Gray re-appears again
