My boxed set of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. finally arrived a week ago. Yes, the big one, in the attaché case, all four seasons on 41 discs.
I have very fond memories of this show and it’s proving to be just as much fun as I’d remembered it. So far I've watched the first five episodes of Season 1.
I like the way they give the impression of gadgetry while in fact spending almost nothing on the gadgets.
Loved the episode with the beautiful but deadly THRUSH agent Angelique!
The pilot episode was interesting, showing how there was originally going to be just one Man from U.N.C.L.E., Napoleon Solo. The pilot also demonstrates just how much the original concept owed to James Bond creator Ian Fleming (the original idea actually came from Fleming).
Now I’m sorely tempted to splash out and buy The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. boxed set as well!
