Not so Jolly Roger

Filmed in February and March 1966 mostly in the studio but also partly on location at the Red Sands forts, which was then currently the home of pirate Radio 390 this episode of “Danger Man” was the last one in Black and White. There would just be two final episodes in colour before Patrick McGoohan turned his attention to his pet project “The Prisoner”.

The scary catwalks joining up the various towers have now been dismantled.

Last year there were even rumours of plans to renovate the forts and turn the whole thing into a luxury hotel. Or perhaps it was an April Fool.
