Welcome
Welcome to my website dedicated to the sixties television series Danger Man also known as Secret Agent Man in America, and Destination Danger in France. Starring Patrick McGoohan as John Drake. I'm currently updating this site so if you have any information you'd like to share, please email me
My website does touch upon the McGoohan cult masterpiece ‘The Prisoner’, looking at the links between the two series and the actors and actresses that appear in both. But if you're looking for more in-depth information on 'The Prisoner' then look no further than our excellent sister-site ‘The Unmutual’. Visit The Unmutual Website for information on 'The Prisoner'
