Leeson, Peter T. (2008). Pirational Choice: The Economics of Infamous Pirate Practices (PDF). p.10. Drake takes the place of a defector ( Anthony Dawson) in a plan to infiltrate Chinese Intelligence in Singapore. 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! By accident Drake discovers that a new Latin American republic is being sabotaged by a British industrialist for his own ends. Inexorably, Drake hunts down the industrialist's shady past and trades it for the small nation's autonomy.

Travelling to Nice, Drake sits next to a man he recognises as an assassin. Drake takes his place, but who is the victim? Before changing to a stylized "P", Sweden's Pirate Party used the Jolly Roger as its symbol, which is still used extensively in the Pirate movement. The Piratbyrån and its online database, The Pirate Bay also use either the skull and crossbones symbol, or derivatives of it, such as the logo of Home Taping Is Killing Music. During the Vietnam war an urgent airfield was needed at Quảng Trị by the United States forces. U.S. Seabee Battalions 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 74, 121, and 133 all sent detachments of men and equipment to get the job done. Construction of the airfield necessitated the removal of 11,000 graves. Those detachments dubbed themselves the Ghost Battalion and chose the Jolly Roger for the Battalion's colours. [63] In Munich, Drake investigates the murder of a G.I. and makes a date with his German girlfriend. Is she an innocent or a spy? Richards, Bill; Smith, Peter (December 2006). "Onslow's Jolly Roger". Signals. Australian National Maritime Museum (77): 10–12. ISSN 1033-4688.Drake takes the place of an ex-convict recruited as an assassin by an organisation which believes its mission is to eliminate undesirable world leaders (identified in the episode as the Knights Templar). When sent on his first assignment, Drake allows his victim to escape, revealing his identity. In Scotland, a stolen car is recovered bearing the fingerprints of long dead masterspy. Is he still alive and working? When a Wren is murdered carrying secret papers and her missing boyfriend is the chief suspect, Drake follows and befriends him in search of the truth.

Over the years many different musicians have recorded and released their versions of the Danger Man theme tune. A group of scientists researching bacterial warfare made a dramatic discovery. Now they are being killed. Drake travels to Kashmir to find out why. The state [started to] have the monopoly on violence, on force, taking it out of the hands of private actors," Head says.

In the One Piece universe and in real-world pirate lore, the Jolly Roger has become an iconic symbol of piracy, adventure, and the high seas.

A British diplomat in Paris goes missing for a day, and claims he can't remember it. Investigating, Drake improvises, first as a German-Irish encyclopaedia salesman and later as the diplomat's gambling buddy. Tortured by two men (one of them Frank Maher, McGoohan's own stunt double), Drake finds the diplomat's triple life has been financed by a dead man. In a revolutionary Latin American state, Drake's friend Peter is framed for the murder of a general's mistress. Extracting the wounded Peter is a job for Drake, undercover as a journalist; and he finds an unlikely ally. When the general himself joins the chase, the escape becomes a matter of hairbreadth timing. Which girl is telling the truth? This is the problem that faces Drake when a refugee from a mid-European country flees to England and pleads for political asylum. If I have a criticism it is that once Drake arrives at the sea fort it is fairly obvious what is going on. I have another criticism which is the bizarre choice of the Blue Danube Waltz to signal that they are signalling. It is completely off genre from the other music. If you like the records played on the radio station, you can find details of them here.
