I like the way they had the episode title "swipe in" with one passing car and then "swipe out" with the next one.

I just realised the opening theme tune is similar to the munsters theme, but a lot faster!.

The second ran also ran two seasons from 1964 until 1966.

The final episode of DANGER MAN in 1966 was in color.

@uszoninyc I'm in midtown Manhattan East. I did the same thing (both the 1/2 hour series, and these - the 1hr long series). Sat here - snuggled in bed, and just got... 'lost.' ;>

@uszoninyc The old Secret Agent & the harpie tune kept me awake @1 a.m. when I babysat. The missus spent a coupla evenings during the recent East Coast Irene power outage watching Danger Man DVDs, 'til my laptop battery ran out.
