"You crazy idiot...............My name's McGill"
Made in the same year as The Prisoner, 'Man
in a suitcase' is yet another ITC series that has withstood the test of
time. Possible the least well known classic of the the shows of the sixties,
starring Richard Bradford as ex CIA agent McGill. (His first name is never
revealed) Thrown out of the CIA for something he did not do, he now works
in London as a private investigator who will take care of your problems
as long as the price is right. The show was a lot more straight forward
then The Prisoner or The Avengers, relying simply on good stories and an
action/ adventure format. Although some episodes were directed by John
Glen, the show managed to stay well away from the James Bond elements which
were sometimes seen in The Saint and Danger Man. Bradford himself gives
an excellent and underrated performance as McGill and has gone on to various
films including The Untouchables and was The Captain in the pilot of the
doomed US series Earth 2. Ron Grainer composed the main theme which is
so funky that it is currently being used for the British TV show TFI Friday,
without being updated! (But what can you do ?)

2. THE BRIDGE. 1966
Written by
Robert Muller
Directed by
Pat Jackson
Rodney Bewes plays the suicidal son of an aristocratic
man. The father sends McGill to stop his son jumping
from his regular attempted jump off bridge. Bewes
falls while McGill is trying to talk him down, but
McGill jumps after him and pulls him from the river.
McGill is then given the task of finding out what
happened when one of his son's friends died on the
bridge. Bewes believes that he is responsible for the
man's death. Bewes tells McGill that he was the only
witness to the tragedy, but when a newspaper man
brings McGill the coroner's report, he discovers that
there were, in fact, two other witnesses. When he
questions the two, who run a few successful
discotheques, he finds out that a girl, Annabelle, was
also a witness, but this has not been revealed to the
police. It also transpires that her father is Sir Walter
Fenchurch, apparently a very influential man. Sir
Walter tells McGill that he can sort out McGill's
problems with American Intelligence, provided McGill
drops his present assignment. Our hero refuses, of
course.

8. ALL THAT GLITTERS 1966
Written by
Stanley Greenberg
Directed by
Herbert Wise
A young boy, playing in the countryside, is dragged
into some bushes by an unseen assailant. A police
search discovers nothing. The boy's grandmother calls
her former employer, Lord of the manor, and he
promises anything that is needed to find the boy, while
assuring her that everything will be all right. McGill
looks into the situation, at the request of a friend.
McGill travels to the Cotswolds in a Triumph Herald
estate, not his usual Hillman Imp. McGill is puzzled a
as to why a well-to-do businessman would be so
interested in an obscure missing person case. The
locals are an unfriendly bunch, making things as
difficult as they can for McGill. After a confrontation
with the local roughs, McGill gets a reputation as a
mean killer. It turns out that the man employing
McGill has political aspirations, but all is not well at
home. It turns out that the locals are holding the boy,
but haven't realized that if they are paid a ransom, the
boy must die. Not surprisingly, the boy is the would-be
politician's son. However, he has no money of his own.
His wife, who is unable to have children, is really the
one with the money. McGill persuades the man to play
along and put an advertisement in the local paper,
which is the arrangement the locals have made. To
McGill's surprise, the man's wife already knows about
the illegitimate son. McGill sets up the meeting with
the kidnappers, and, after being made to drive to and
fro for hours, he shoots and kills two of the kidnappers
and the boy escapes to go home. McGill is also shot,
and Mrs Hornsby comes to the hospital to arrange for
a private room for McGill to spend his three weeks
recovering from wounds he sustained in the gun battle.
The parting shot is of McGill in his hospital bed, with
his suitcase under the bed.

After a female British agent, Ruth Klinger, is caught

McGill discovers that she is in fact a double agent for

himself, which would blow her cover and will surely see
her eliminated, or help her, which will risk his own life.
