TV Series (1962-1967)

Peter Madden (Hobbs)

Three years after the original "Danger Man" series concluded, it was revamped and continued in a longer format. John Drake is now a Special Security Agent for MI9, getting his exotic assignments exclusively from Her Majesty's Secret Service. This version of the series introduced far more Bond-like gadgets, from exploding tie-pins to tape-recording shavers, and emphasized fast action.
