Man in a Suitcase (Intro) S1 (1967)

[@torito4927]

this was a funky and interesting show, the theme was funky as well

[@CarlB_1962]

My favourite ITC series. RB gave a great naturalistic performance as the wronged, downtrodden ex-CIA agent.

[@FraCtalGENius]

RB with his swinging ACTING...Brilliant...

[@smooth_sundaes5172]

Richard was actually a good actor, indeed a lot of good actors back in the 60's when we only had three channels and the talent wasn't so diluted. My grandmother always watched Dangerman because of Patrick McGoohan. My own earliest crushes were Diana Rigg in The Avengers and Alexandra Bastedo in The Champions.

agree

[@johnduckworth474]

I totally agree.

[@grahamgreen2434]

Alexandra...my wrist aches just thinking of her...every Thursday night on ITV, 8 till 9pm back in '68 I think it was...

[@michaelperrin2531]

Smooth_sundaes Thanks! That's the Series I was looking for.

[@paultaylor7082]

@@grahamgreen2434 I was 15 in 1968 when I fell in love with Alexandra Bastedo. I've never been the same since, along with millions of other adolescent boys at the time.

This series was unique in that the initial episode that explained the basis for the character was aired much later in the season, leaving viewers with the painful task of trying to piece it all together for themselves. This was the first episode aired, chosen because it was thought to be stronger than the pilot... an unfortunate miscalculation for an otherwise flawless series.

[@andyhowlett2231]

A great series from the highly productive ITC stable. This opening ep was intriguing and showed great promise for the rest of the series.

[@deweyschneebly4074]

Great theme choon! Ron Grainer strikes again!!

[@davids8449]

Happy times in the 60s mother, father, and grandparents were alive

[@AndrewWilliams-zc1hf]

The fights were realistic as they looked bruised afterwards. Another show worth repeating as it hasn't been repeated since the mid 80s.

[@marklittler784]

Outside shots seemed to be fimed outside too and all the series in colour looks like when there was three channels there was not many slots for repeats.

[@DLCMORRIS]

Yes Ive seen him before too.......i remember everything when i see it again after a few years !

[@alexdavies1662]

This is one of the more disturbing episodes from this series. Mostly in the studio but great viewing.

Big fan of 'The Saint & Danger Man', wouldn't it be great to see MIAS again! - Ron L.(Music very much like "The Prisoner" Theme.)

[@gregobrien4384]

Great wind tunnel tested hair do on McGill.

[@stingray4real]

RIP Richard Bradford

[@davidbentley4032]

Often wondered if Tom Cruise based his 'Vincent' character in Collateral on McGill.

[@keithbrown8490]

A couple years later Richard Bradford did a tv movie pilot called "UMC" that became the TV series "Medical Center". They recast him with Chad Everett for the series. He never got to play good guys again always playing the villain in tv shows or movies.

[@Eklektik40]

Wow... I did not know Richard Gere started in the 60s.

[@cyrill091]

Denhan a lovely place

[@waltdefucq6106]

I don't know what "S1" in the title is meant to mean - surely there was only one season of MIAS?

[@davidsomerset]

Season 1, regardless.

[@iestyndavies7287]

Thank F**K it’s Friday!

From I can see of the railway station all the ornamental swan neck station lights have gone . The grounds have left to overgrow to save money 🤑 if you said anything to council down their they would simply say it's good for the squirrels

[@marklittler784]

Apparently most UK main lines were down by 1850 !!! and the side lines thereafter.

WHEN DOES HE COME OUT OF THE SUITCASE

[@simoncolenutt5228]

Yeah I'm convinced Gerry Anderson heard the title and it inspired the literal 'man in a briefcase' element of 'The Secret Service'

[@ecafssot]

Westbury Railway Station❓

[@MrNellie65]

No,its called Denham Golf Platform,its existed since 1912 and in spite of the catastrophic Beeching cuts of the late '60s its survived!Built to serve the local golf club,as the name would suggest.And a mere stones throw from Pinewood studios.

[@kevinmanns7170]

@@MrNellie65 Denham golf club station is considerably more than a stone's throw from Pinewood studios, actually about four and a half miles...that's some stone's throw. I'm at the station right now, it's surrounded by mature trees and overgrown shrubbery compared to this scene, 53years of Nature's progress. Still, I get your point. One of my favorite ITC series. I was five years old when this was made. I have the series on DVD and it's still better than anything shown on TV nowadays. RIP Richard Bradford.

[@davids8449]

@@kevinmanns7170I doubt very much if it is nature's progress.....more in the way of saving money not to upkeep it and simply say it's good for the squirrels 😁

Does anyone know the make of car in this clip ? Could it be an Alvis, a Bristol, a Daimler, or even a Lagonda ? It looks to be a rare coach built 50's Saloon, probably a one off.

DASH at 1.13 looks cheap,.....door handles inside.....rear lights and ugly bumper look like bmc group....v8 exhausts......RAY MILLAND HAD LOVELY CAR IN COLUMBO ''THE GREENHOUSE JUNGLE''

[@kevinmanns7170]

@@airport4173 I've done some research (Google) since my original post. The car is a later coach built Vanden Plas Princess with an Austin 4 litre straight six. Seemingly ugly at first glance, I've grown accustomed to its rather sinister styling, which is perfect for this scene. The engine and ride of these cars are smooth as silk. They were a cut price alternative to Rolls Royce and Daimler limousines at the time, and make superb wedding cars.

[@kevinmanns7170]

@@airport4173 Ray Millands car in Columbo was a Bentley Continental Coupe. I can't remember if it was an S1or S2, but certainly an elegant beast of a car.
