A Bird in the Hand... is not always worth two in the bush

No reviews listed for this interesting installment of Danger Man as I pen this one. In fact I was somehow remiss when first posting reviews of all the DM episodes where spy devices were used, so the gadgets listed here are in addition to the running count in my other reviews.

Drake goes undercover once again, this time as the house butler to discover who might be divulging State secrets and exactly how they are be doing it. Our hero of course completed a crash course in butlering in the first season's most outstanding episodes 'No Marks For Servility', and he has employed that guise once or twice since.

With 'The Hunting Party' We are only five B&W episodes from the end of this fine series. Yet we find a compelling story and McGoohan fully invested in his character.

In this installment Drake has a few of his now ubiquitous sticky wireless microphones, which the spy master deploys around his employers mansion. The show commits spy gadget adultery when it has us believe that one of the mics is suddenly a speaker, which Drake uses as an outdoor decoy when a hunting party tries to make him the prey.

One new spy gadget takes the form of an umbrella which doubles as a tape recorder, surreptitiously recording a conversation in the House of Commons.
