I picked up Danger Man. Excellent!
Some consider it the forerunner to the Prisoner (ie. John Drake is
the prisoner). But this is a subject of debate.
It's obvious now that Man from Uncle borrowed heavily from Danger Man.
The DVD has trailers for some the shows you list.
I'm surprised you haven't seen The Saint. It got a fair amount of
air time (here in the US) back in the 70's as did The Avengers. More
spy stuff, but I recall the twist was that Simon Templar (Roger Moore)
did his job without caring a gun. A good series, but I prefer The
Avengers (Emma Peel!).
I suspect Man in a Suitcase might be the other bet in the bunch.
