The Prisoner, Man In A Suitcase and Department S are worth watching, @SaintMark. :)

The Prisoner is sort of a sequel to Danger Man that has been in debate for a long time whether McGoohan's character was the same in that show as the previous one or not.

Department S is an official prequel to Jason King.

Man In A Suitcase deals with a government agent gone blacklisted, which inspired the more modern show we know as Burn Notice.

Love The Prisoner. Probably the most brilliant TV series of all time.

I'm interested in seeking out the others. I wonder if they are available in the US.

Looks like Coogan's trying to get The Persuaders off the ground again:

Got myself Danger Man - The Complete Collection and The Saint: The Complete Colour Series for Christmas. I've watched episodes of both series before, but never owned collections of either. Now I need to get a copy of The Complete Monochrome Series of The Saint as well, but it seems to be hard to find…

Earlier this year I ordered this Featuring The Baron Blu-ray release featuring two movies created from restored two-part stories of The Baron. Unfortunately Network went out of business before it got released.

I have wanted to wait and see if The Saint, Danger Man and other shows get the Blu-ray treatment, but with Network not being around anymore, the likelihood of that happening is probably slim. For that reason, I'm picking up the remaining Network releases I want to get. Like you point out @weboffear, stock will be low for many of these box sets.

I forgot this thread existed! Is anyone else going to The Saint: Teresa + The Avengers: A Touch of Brimstone at the BFI on 13 Jan?
