Excellent. I remember Uncle and the Saint but the others ? Never heard of them. Danger Man. 👍😊 I enjoy seeing you gentlemen in your element. Great video Jules. ❤️

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks my friend. Danger Man was Secret Agent in the USA 👍 We were having a great time 🙂

[@ProfessorEchoMedia]

Wonderful stuff! And a typically superb production with expert commentary, resourceful supplementary images and all around compelling presentation. It doesn’t hurt that the subject is near and dear to my heart, but wow us poor spy craze kids in 60’s America had no idea how much we were missing out on in jolly old. 🤩

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks my friend, really glad you enjoyed this one. Filming the Batman special tomorrow, should be fun! The spy craze really was something back in the 60's👍

[@notfooled.]

Reminds me of being a kid, when your local corner newsagent had US Marvel comics on the shelf and all these bubble gum cards on the counter

[@JulesBurt]

Absolutely! Some incredible Marvel merchandise to feast your eyes on coming soon🙂👍

[@Yellowblam]

Excellent. Sexton Blake has had a recent mini resurgence insomuch as the people behind 2000AD have issued a handful of new novellas.

[@JulesBurt]

I didn't know that Robert, probably long overdue👍

[@animalmagic5575]

As an old ny baseball card collector and a fan of classic 60's tv series, this is perfect.

[@JulesBurt]

Excellent news. These really are great sets. Wish I owned them myself, especially the Danger Man series.👍

[@maxheals]

nice collection ...remember clement freud pet food ads

[@JulesBurt]

Can't say I do but remember him of course🙂

Good video - in terms of memorabilia for The Champions there is also the comic strip that ran in the Joe 90 comic and was also featured in the Joe 90 Top Secret annual, the Italian compilation movie had a locandina poster, a fotobusta set of 8 posters and various other size posters, there are 10 Spanish comic books too. The French paperback was printed twice with different covers. There are also a number of TV listings magazines from around the word with The Champions on the cover including TV Herald (USA), TV Times and TV Week (Australia), Tele Radio and Tele Programma (Spain). There is also Stuart 'The Champion' Damon's LP. Don't forget the two-reel super8 cut down version of The Beginning from Techno Film. There is also the usual ITC gatefold glossy publicity brochure (UK and US versions), the accompanying publicity book, the catalogue card in the ITC Entertains The World catalogue (1972), the double sided promo card for Legend of The Champions (1981) and quite a bit more.

Thanks Jaz, great information! If you lived a bit closer, we could film it all, what a video that would make 👍

[@jazwiseman]

@@JulesBurt The Saint cards also came out in Denmark at a slightly different size. There are 15 colour Saint cards produced by Monty Gum - these were part of a set that included other 60s TV series. Shame your friend didn't show The Persuaders! set produced by Monty Gum cards in The Netherlands.

[@JulesBurt]

He may not have that Persuaders set👍

[@andykirk9781]

Hi Jules & Jaz - great info about the Champions, I'd never heard of the Spanish comics ! I do have The Persuaders! set (about which Jaz has written a great book, folks) - didn't include it in the 60's Spies and Sleuths video as the cards were issued in the early 1970s. I forgot to mention the Danish version of the Saint set; the Monty Gum cards date to 1966, numbers 1 to 16 of their 2nd numbered TV series which also featured Thunderbirds, Zorro, The Fugitive, Love On A Rooftop and Mission Impossible.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Andy!

[@johnsteinman4462]

Very cool video. It is great to see, all the cards form other countries.

[@JulesBurt]

Absolutely John, Andy has an amazing collection and is really knowledgeable about these sets👍🙂

[@zachm2314]

What a cool thing to collect, never heard of these before

[@JulesBurt]

These are pretty scarce and take a bit of hunting down!🙂

[@GustavoLovato]

Very cool! I love the ghost capture out of the left hand side of the screen at 3:36. :)

[@JulesBurt]

Spooky!

[@afrose71]

Cool sets. Were there cards produced for The Avengers and Mission: Impossible?

[@JulesBurt]

I seem to remember three early 90's Avengers sets, nothing for Mission Impossible though👍

[@stephensowerby8395]

Fantastic collection. I have been looking at the James Bond cards snd will now be looking at these too. Dare I start collecting a set? Thank you to both of you. Looking forward to the next video. 🙂

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Stephen, next time it's Batman! Glad you're enjoying these my friend 🙂

[@Bernard-db6yg]

Some sellers try to sell the UNCLE Cards as hand signed for some reason ?

[@JulesBurt]

They must think the fans are thick! We of course, know better 🙂

[@sylvanyoung]

[@SijoArtLapham6381]

It's mentioned that there is a fifth Girl From UNCLE British paperback. I only know of four. Can you confirm the existence of the fifth, perhaps with a title? I would have to hunt it down for my collection. Thanks.

[@JulesBurt]

I've not seen one but there is the UK annual.
