Ian Fleming was brought in to collaborate on series development, but left before development was complete. Grade was looking for formats that could be exported. The idea for Danger Man originated with Ralph Smart, an associate of Lew Grade, head of ITC Entertainment. Danger Man was financed by Lew Grade's ITC Entertainment. Ralph Smart created the programme and wrote many of the scripts. The series featured Patrick McGoohan as secret agent John Drake. Danger Man (retitled Secret Agent in the United States for the revived series, and Destination Danger and John Drake in other overseas markets) is a British television series that was broadcast between 19, and again between 19.
