Danger Man "The Actor" #1.32 (1961) (TV)

Drake takes a job in radio, 27 July 2015


John Drake's Mission: Discover how secret information is being transmitted into China, find out who's behind the operation, and put a stop to it.

I quite enjoyed The Actor. It's hard to explain, but the episode has a different sort of feel to it. Drake gets to do some real spy stuff, decoding secret messages. The cast in The Actor is good. Rupert Davies, Gary Cockrell, and Julie Allan give strong performances. The finale is as tense and suspenseful as you could hope for in a 25 minute television show. The one weakness for me was having to watch McGoohan play the ridiculous drunk once again. Still, I'm rating this one a strong 6/10.

6/10
