  1. Thank you, Peebs! And thanks also for calling the program Danger Man; it was called Secret Agent after it jumped the pond. I mixed my metaphors, so to speak!

    I don't have one in mind right now, so I'll leave the thread open....

  3. It is my understanding that The Prisoner (1967-1968) is a spin-off of Secret Agent (1964-1967). So say some, while others are unsure. When Number 6 (McGoohan as the Prisoner) is revealed as a retired spy, many viewers believed (or assumed, or hoped, or whatever you like) that the character was indeed Secret Agent John Drake. I've not yet viewed any of the episodes, but I've read a few articles about The Prisoner, and I suspect the one-season run was a result of its avant garde, Orwellian vagaries. I also seem to remember reading that the idea for The Prisoner came from McGoohan; is that accurate?

  4. Is it The Champions (1968-1969) with Stuart Damon (who died just this year) as Craig Stirling? Looking through the cast list, I see lots and lots of actors who were in Bond films. 

    I know Carrie Underwood has a song called "The Champion" -- note, no s -- but I don't follow contemporary country music, so I couldn't hum the tune if my life depended on it.

    Was there really evil in Fonda's portrayal?

    For me, the level of restraint Fonda breathes into Frank in Once Upon a Time in the West is the key to his "evil". We plainly can see the menace in a character when he is portrayed with broad smile or celebratory dialogue upon performing some heinous act, but it is Frank's quietude with his bad deeds that makes him truly scary.
