Excellent work there Peter on the Then and Now photos I think they also used North Wales for some locations on The Saint.

Thanks for posting those up Peter, brilliant to see and as Vienna says, the locations were probably also used in other TV shows made by ITC like The Saint The Persuaders (doubling up as Italian mountain passes perhaps).

Not sure if anyone will be interested, but there's Patrick McGoohan event taking place at Elstree next month. The tickets are twenty quid. If I lived down South I would definitely go to this one. It would mean booking a hotel though, so I doubt if I will be going to it. www.quoitmedia.co.uk/notanumber.htmCharles.

Thanks for posting the link, Charles. It looks like an interesting event down in Elstree, with guests such as Jane Merrow in attendance. Unfortunately I'm down in Sussex that particular weekend so wouldn't be able to go anyway, sadly. Vi

I loved looking at these Peter. Its so nice to see then and now photos that have to a great degree remained unchanged. Danger Man has always been one of my favourite television series.
Charles.
