Secret Agent (1964–1967)
9/10
Fantastic Show
13 September 2006
I recently watched all 47 episodes in a row over a weeks time and I love this show. That said, there are some silly moments and no agent in his right mind would find himself in a situation where virtually every job requires him to depend upon someone walking in at the precise moment to upset the bad guys' plans or have someone make a mistake and let him (Drake) get out of the situation at the very last moment. Note how many fights he is in with 2 guys where one gets shoved and is dazed enough to wait while Drake finishes off the other or how many times a bad guy is merely jostled and fires his weapon in the air allowing Drake to escape or beat up the villain. I wonder how many concussions Drake suffered and how many shots were fired at him at close range by professional killers which happened to conveniently miss? Well, all TV shows and movies are like that, but better writing would be in order here. Love the music, love the plane jetting in, love the scenes all throughout Europe and several other continents, love the old character actors who are mostly dead now, but who gave us all huge amounts of enjoyment in the 60s. Personal favorite episode: "That's Two Of Us Sorry". Great twist at the end.
