I
Andrew RobertsHOST
love the way that Penfold was aimably waving at the camera in the end credits before Danger Man rushes out of danger.
Andrew RobertsHOST
It
Mike RenaultGUEST
was lovely.
StephenHOST
Identifying a new leading man for Doctor Who became a major priority.
StephenHOST
Michael Horden, who had been in such films as Cleopatra and the Spy, who came in from the cold, was considered for the role, as was Patrick Weimark, who had appeared in TV shows Danger Man and The Power Games.
StephenHOST
Another possibility was Ron Moody, star of movies such as Murder Most Foul, who had recently appeared in an episode of The Avengers.
StephenHOST
Even former pop idol Tommy Steele, whose career was now focused on stage and screen musicals, was discussed.
RalphHOST
So the first portion of the book covers the first 80 pages in about eight chapters, and much of the run-up to the series is similar to Davy's book.
RalphHOST
Patrick McGowan leaves Danger Man and then pitches The Prisoner to Luke Great.
RalphHOST
After that, it's more of a blow-by-blow production guide, and it mixes the actual schedule with impressions of working with McGowan, how the tourists reacted to the production team, and how the newspapers tried to report on the filming in the secret location.
RalphHOST
There's the obligatory bits about Rover, how the original mechanical design wasn't suitable, and how they lost a lot of weather balloons during production, which raised questions from the Welsh Coast Guard.
RalphHOST
You know, it's the sort of distinctive target pistol that Sean Connery holds in the Goldfinger poster.
RalphHOST
Number Six never used a gun, and neither did John Drake in Danger Man, as far as I know.
RalphHOST
It suggests that Number Six's memoirs are not the whole truth.
RalphHOST
And then there's one last possible view, which is that Number Six has engineered his escape from the beginning.
Paul BurkeGUEST
And what happens is that they're going to arrest him.
Paul BurkeGUEST
And McGowan, as Danger Man, says, no, hold on a sec, John Drake.
Paul BurkeGUEST
You know, he says, wait, let me go in there.
Paul BurkeGUEST
Let me find out more.
Paul BurkeGUEST
You know, these are all indications of a growing serious spy, if you like.
DanHOST
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
DanHOST
You mentioned Patrick McGowan from Danger Man.
DanHOST
And they actually wanted him to be Bond, the first Bond.
RichardHOST
The accent's interesting because, again, you can't place it, but there is nothing about him you can place.
RichardHOST
He does feel more like the villain from Danger Man than he, when I say Danger Mouse, than he does from Danger Man.
RichardHOST
No,
BrendanHOST
that's true.
