The practice, while commonly associated with British submarines, is not restricted to them. During World War II, Allied submariners working with Royal Navy fleets adopted the process from their British counterparts. [58] While operating in the Mediterranean, the Polish submarines ORP Sokół and ORP Dzik were presented with Jolly Rogers by General Władysław Sikorski, and continued to update them during the war. [59] [60] At least one British surface ship recorded their U-boat kills through silhouettes on a Jolly Roger. [61] The Australian submarine HMAS Onslow flew the Jolly Roger in 1980, following her successful participation in the Kangaroo 3 wargame as an opposing submarine: the flag bore the silhouettes of the seven surface ships involved, as during the exercise, Onslow had successfully 'sunk' all seven.

International extortionist Gregori Benares marries a lovely young Englishwoman and takes her to Rome; they stay in a villa where the butler is John Drake. An ally of the shy wife and implacable enemy of the sadistic Benares, Drake exposes the man's kidnapping plot. For a start the human chameleon John Drake becomes the cool DJ Johnny Drake, or JD. How cool is that? The majority of the episode was studio based, with the exception of some library footage of a submarine surfacing being used and of course the location work completed at Red Sands Fort off the coast of Whitstable.

When money is drawn from the account of a dead freelance agent, Drake is sent to the clinic in Switzerland where the man had died three months previously.Another early reference to "Old Roger" is found in a news report in the Weekly Journal or British Gazetteer (London, Saturday, October 19, 1723; Issue LVII, p.2, col. 1): British DJ Eddie Richards released the acid house hit "Acid Man" in 1988, under a Jolly Roger alias. Some books list episodes 3-1 to 3–10 as part of series 2 due to change of studio from 3–11. Airdates are again as for ATV Midlands.

Drake finds out when his latest assignment takes him to Kashmir, in Northern India, and to drama high up a mountain in a lonely bungalow with a renegade Englishman and his beautiful wife. When the M9 regional controller is captured in Bulgaria, Drake must effect a rescue before he talks under torture. Over the years many different musicians have recorded and released their versions of the Danger Man theme tune.A wartime offshore sea fort being used as a pirate radio station is transmitting secrets to an enemy submarine. One agent has already been murdered on the fort. Drake has to find out how the transmissions are being done and find the culprit amongst the crew. Although this piece was used in many episodes, it was not released on the LP/CD "Music from the TV series Secret Agent".

The rest of the sets were built in studio, and look quite business-like, although the interior shots show the studios and living accomodation as being quite lavish, where in reality, conditions on the forts were spartan to say the least! I conclude from this that Halo must have also been used in the Saint, although in my opinion it is the best incidental music used in Danger Man.Williamson, Gordon (2007).

With typical James Bond settings, Drake flew around the world taking on the baddies, using gadgets similar to Bond himself.
