Secret information known only by Gandon has been leaked, but Gandon cannot explain how. Whilst explaining his routine and recent activity Drake picks up on the fact that Gandon has recently spent a weekend at the high-class residence of Basil and Claudia Jordan and chooses to investigate this line of enquiry. Similar to the episode ‘No Marks for Servility’, Drake takes on the guise of the new butler at the Jordan residence to try and determine if they are behind the leak. Soon into his new role, another house guest Max Dell arrives, who again has access to top secret information, so Drake suspects that one of the Jordan’s is somehow extracting the information from them, but how? The answer leads Drake to the guest bedroom and his employer’s perilous hobby. ‘I loved Denholm Elliott in The Hunting Party’, Philip Broadley recalls fondly, and the eminent British film star’s louche, sly and charmingly acerbic performance is another of Danger Man’s stand out guest performances and a further indication of the calibre of acting talent that was attracted to the series.
