Danger Man "The Sanctuary" #1.9 (1960) (TV)

Not as good as most of the other episodes, 24 September 2014

John Drake's Mission: Drake takes the place of an Irish rebel upon release from prison whom the government feels is being recruited by a terrorist organization.

The Sanctuary is just good, not great. The problem I had with it was the lack of believability in the finale. As is often the case, Drake gets himself into a jam. Are we supposed to go along with the notion that a woman whom Drake has just met decides to help him out of his predicament rather than siding with her husband? I didn't buy it. It felt a bit too contrived and convenient for my liking.

Despite this issue I have with The Sanctuary, fans will certainly find something to enjoy. One particularly good moment filled with tension involves Drake's meeting an old friend of the rebel he's impersonating. Drake's handling of the situation and plan to get out of it are very entertaining.

I'll give this one a 6/10.
