this be among one of many usa attempt of remake a old classic british tv show and that more famous than this one . from what i see none of you haven not mention or even acknowledge that you know there be a tv 50 60 call secret agent man the original secret agent man star the great patrick mcgoohan ( the prisoner and braveheart and ice station zebra and the phantom and etc ) a man who be tap to be the first james bond and but he turn it down because mcgoohan be a very devout man and he consider james bond bed hopping and violent way to be against his value . this show be do in black and white and and it a pity for those who haven not see it and you be miss out on a lot . the character mr. mcgoohan play in secret agent man be name drake and and after he finish with that show he go on to the do the very popular though at time bizarre and controversial tv series call the prisoner . the character he play in the prisoner be that of a agent who identity be not reveal be kidnap and transport to a island where he do not know where he be or who it be that be responsible for kidnap him . what he do know be that his captor want to know the reason behind his resignation from the british secret service and and on this island the populace do not have name but they be refer to by number and patrick character be assign a number which be 6 it be argue that his prisoner character be in fact the same character he play in secret agent man but mcgoohan himself dispute this . ofourse there be the unmistakable famous theme song that the original secret agent man spawn . it be write by johnny river a famous 50 and 60 pop musician and from what i read some of you be actually think that the song come from this version of the show . youre very wrong about that . it be johnny and it come from the original tv series so let me help to set the fact straight . to those of you who complain about the name of the show be stupid and well in england and it be actually call danger man and in the u it be retitled secret agent man for such a supposedly stupid name the show do well enough when it be first air . grant this current show have little to do with the original and no such main character name drake in this one and and i guess they do their best to make this show their version of secret agent man . but it do use the redone version of the original theme song so that do tell you that this show be indeed mean to be a redone albeit however inferior redone version of the original series .
