I got the following ones:
Champions
Danger Man
Department S
Persuaders
I have the Prisoner boxed set coming shortly.
I did not remember champions or dept s, but they are OK. very similar in
many ways. Both have a team of 2 guys and a gal. Persuaders is good, but
dated (actually they all are dated). Danger Man is of course pretty good
even though they are the 30 min black and white episodes. The first episode
on the DVD was shot in portmerion where the Prisoner was filmed. Randall
and Hopkirk is a classic and worth seeing. Saint is OK, I have the recent
VHS tapes of these so I passed on the DVDs.
The DVDs have minor additions such as the cover of the ITC brochure and
some history of the shows.
