About this deal

With typical James Bond settings, Drake flew around the world taking on the baddies, using gadgets similar to Bond himself. An M9 agent is missing. Drake goes undercover in Prague to find him and is targeted by a Czech spy and his femme fatale. All the outside shots were filmed over a three day period in 1966, whilst Radio 390 continued broadcasting their programmes. International extortionist Gregori Benares marries a lovely young Englishwoman and takes her to Rome; they stay in a villa where the butler is John Drake. An ally of the shy wife and implacable enemy of the sadistic Benares, Drake exposes the man's kidnapping plot.

The majority of the episode was studio based, with the exception of some library footage of a submarine surfacing being used and of course the location work completed at Red Sands Fort off the coast of Whitstable.This collector's 13 DVD set includes all 47 Danger Man adventures comprising the 50-minute series, remastered, complete & uncut for the first time. With special features including exclusive audio commentaries, interviews, archive footage, the rarely seen feature length Danger Man film 'Koroshi', ITC publicity, scripts, extensive image galleries, this is the definitive edition of a cult TV classic.

In view of these models, it was important for a prey ship to know that its assailant was a pirate, and not a privateer or government vessel, as the latter two generally had to abide by a rule that if a crew resisted, but then surrendered, it could not be executed: Before changing to a stylized "P", Sweden's Pirate Party used the Jolly Roger as its symbol, which is still used extensively in the Pirate movement. The Piratbyrån and its online database, The Pirate Bay also use either the skull and crossbones symbol, or derivatives of it, such as the logo of Home Taping Is Killing Music. Jeff Smart has released a documentary he made some years ago entitled "The Dangermen" it includes interviews with Peter Price, Philip Broadley and Frank Maher. More information can be found here Admiralty (1997). His Majesty's Submarines. World War II Monographs. Vol.401 (3rded.). Merriam Press. Airdates are for ATV Midlands. ATV London broadcast on 19 February and 26 February 1967 respectively.Frank Delroy, an American banker is murdered and five million dollars is missing. Drake travels to Italy to find the money. Another "pirate" metal band Alestorm also uses Jolly Roger and other pirate related themes in their music.

In the One Piece universe and in real-world pirate lore, the Jolly Roger has become an iconic symbol of piracy, adventure, and the high seas.

In September 1914, the British submarine HMS E9 successfully torpedoed the German cruiser SMS Hela. [47] Remembering Wilson's statements, commanding officer Max Horton instructed his submariners to manufacture a Jolly Roger, which was flown from the submarine as she entered port. [46] [47] Each successful patrol saw Horton's submarine fly an additional Jolly Roger until there was no more room for flags, at which point Horton had a large Jolly Roger manufactured, onto which symbols indicating E9 's achievements were sewn. [47] A small number of other submarines adopted the practice: [47] HMS E12 flew a red flag with the skull and crossbones on return from a foray into the Dardanelles in June 1915, [48] and the first known photograph of the practice was taken in July 1916 aboard HMS H5. [49] For a start the human chameleon John Drake becomes the cool DJ Johnny Drake, or JD. How cool is that?
