'Danger Man' has for years been shown here in Australia, week-days at 5am on channel 9, sometimes accompanied by the Canadian thriller 'Seaway', also in b/w.
Out of similar shows from this era, like 'Alfred Hitchcock Presents' & the wonderful 'Edgar Wallace Mysteries', 'Danger Man' holds up the extremely well.
As well as great scripts, & the dry delivery of Mr McGoohan, the guest stars are great to see too. Today's episode had Hammer Horror actress Barbara Steele guest starring.
I am taping these shows to blank blu-ray discs, & can fit 13 episodes or 12 hours of HD content per disc, after removing the ads. I started doing this because Seaway is not on DVD & rarely seen, elsewhere. Danger Man is a great quality show that is remembered for influencing so many others, its a must see.

I watched this movie recently, after reading all the mostly bad reviews on here, & enjoyed it. Its nice to see ruggedly handsome Jack La Rue play the gangster nightclub owner. He is very charming and suave, but when he cracks, its like lightening. There are a lot of great characters in this relatively short film, & amusing moments. Australian born Googie Withers stands out in a rather light headed Billie Burke type role, as part of a comedy duo, waiting for their big break. There are a couple of running gags, the guys who look after the boss playing darts all day, & the couple playing the slot machine. I also liked a part of the dance floor opening up in a circular platform, that goes down then up.
Not for one moment was I bored, the clothes and sets are great, & Jack La Rue holds his own, in this curiosity set in Soho.

Seaway has been screening here in Australia across the summer of 2021-2022 on channel 9's GEM daily at noon. The quality of the shows is great, with interesting stories & great guest stars. The lead actor is particularly good & charismatic. I read that this show is Canadian, & rarely seen elsewhere. I think this show holds up very well due to the quality of the scripts & the acting.
