''Danger Man'' (known as ''Secret Agent'' in the United States) was a British down-to-earth spy series made in TheSixties. Launched in 1960, it was originally going to bring none other than Literature/JamesBond to the small screen, and Creator/IanFleming was involved at early stages. However, since the rights for Bond movies had been sold to Creator/EonProductions, ''Danger Man'' became something quite different. It features a superagent named John Drake, played by Creator/PatrickMcGoohan -- also once a candidate to play Bond in the films -- who doesn't like gunplay or violence and generally has morals way too strong to make him comfortable in his job. His gadgets and enemies are also rooted in reality.

* NoHuggingNoKissing: Drake does not get involved with women, period. He occasionally flirts with them, and they clearly find him attractive, but he is never shown romancing them. One episode, "The Black Book", has him attracted to a young woman, but he [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies explains why he cannot get involved]], which echoes [=McGoohan's=] attitude regarding why Drake has to remain chaste. The closest Drake comes is in two episodes guest starring Susan Hampshire (playing different, but similar characters in each), one of which ends with Drake and Hampshire's character leaving for a romantic rendezvous.

* EverybodySmokes: Even by early 1960s standards, the series had loads of smoking. Made more apparent when compared to the virtually smoke-free ''Series/{{TheAvengers|1960s}}'' (at least later seasons) or even ''Series/{{ThePrisoner|1967}}'' where cigarettes are rarely seen. Furthermore, SmokingIsCool.
