(Adrian Edmondson, 1999)Release date: 26 August 2024Limited Edition Blu-ray (UK premiere) After a decade of honing their signature characters, Richie and Eddie, across TV and stage-show appearances, British comedy legends Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson (The Comic Strip Presents..., The Young Ones) finally gave the pai

For those unfamiliar, some important background: In 1960, Ralph Smart, a producer at ITC, the British television production company headed by Lew Grade, created a half-hour, black-and-white series called Danger Man. Patrick McGoohan, born in Queens, New York City to Irish immigrants but raised in Ireland and later in England, starred as a murkily-defined, globe-trotting secret agent. As his opening narration for each episode notes, “Every government has its secret service branch. America, CIA; France, Deuxième Bureau; England, MI5. NATO also has its own. A messy job? Well that’s when they usually call on me or someone like me. Oh yes, my name is Drake, John Drake.” Compact and adult, the series has the flavor of Ian Fleming’s 1950s James Bond novels; Fleming himself reportedly assisted in the program’s development, though departed early on. McGoohan, a devout Catholic, himself helped shape the show, insisting that Drake would not use firearms and he refused to do love scenes in accordance with his strict religious beliefs. It’s a terrific series but, regrettably, was a hard-sell to American television, seemingly the ultimate goal of every Lew Grade/ITC program. With no American financing for a second season (“series” in Britain) forthcoming, Danger Man was canceled after 39 episodes.
