Danger Man was produced I believe in England and his second show secret agent was produced in America with slightly higher standards and More travel. He was a man of high moral values and thus showed never using the gun if he could help it or have a abhorred killing people . There are a lot of British TV shows that never make it to the US that are very interesting in particular several involving the British secret service that are just wonderful. Also some great comedies like are You being served or Time after Time

YES!!!! I loved The Prisoner. I got the CD box set of the entire series for Christmas some years back. I guess I mentioned it a lot more often than I thought.
