Plots(1)
Cult 1960s espionage drama starring Patrick McGoohan as John Drake. Drake was a charismatic hard-man of a character with ostensibly little to empathise with, making the show a ground-breakingly realistic change from the heretofore highly 'acted' detective and spy roles. The series was the immediate precursor to the other cult series The Prisoner which began when McGoohan quit having done only two episodes of Series 4 in 1968. (Network)
