Is that song on the DVD?
- I believe there's a soundtrack CD which features both "HighWire" and "Secret Agent Man" together with other musical themes from the series. - Lee M 23:41, 29 Aug 2003 (UTC)
[edit] All Four Seasons on US DVD? Don't Think So...
All four seasons of the series are now available on DVD in North America, using the original Danger Man credits and theme music, rather than the Secret Agent version.
I just bought the complete series boxset from A&E, and it's only the complete hour-long set... not the previous halfhour series.
... and upon edit, I will correct myself. The A&E "Secret Agent aka Danger Man" boxset only includes th 47 eps of "Secret Agent", what they're calling the hourlong series. Apparently claiming that to be its US release name.
There is a separate 39 episode set of the first season, which they call Danger Man.
Guh. Frickin' A&E.
- Yeah, I don't know why they didn't release the 1960 series as a "Set 0" or something like that, but at least they did release it because it's brilliant. (It was not released until nearly a year after the Megabox which is why these episodes aren't included. Incidentally, it is correct to refer to the hour-long episodes by the name Secret Agent because that was their broadcast title on CBS and that is how they've been syndicated over here since the 1960s so they needed to use the American title over top of the UK original. However the first season aired as Danger Man in the US (although according to one reference book I read awhile back, the half-hour episodes were at one point syndicated in America as Secret Agent as well.) However you have brought to my attention the potential for some confusion on the DVD issue so I'll reword it. Thanks. 23skidoo 04:45, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Danger Man titles/opening sequence in the US
Not true that these were never seen in the US prior to the DVDs. Channel 48 in San Jose, California ran both the US and UK versions in the early 80's as part of an amazing Saturday afternoon package of 60's and 70's reruns they called "Those Fascinating Men." Package included the Lawford "Thin Man" series, the Michael Rennie "The Third Man," "Burke's Law," "The Persuaders" and on and on. Ahh, the good old days of independent TV.
- Please feel free to add that to the main article. It's an interesting fact to note. 23skidoo 03:41, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
