Man in a Suitcase

Man in a Suitcase is a 1967–1968 British television series produced by Lew Grade's ITC Entertainment.
It originally aired in the United Kingdom on ITV from 27 September 1967, to 17 April 1968. ABC broadcast
episodes of Man in a Suitcase in the United States from 3 May 1968, to 20 September 1968.

Origins and overview
Man in a Suitcase was effectively a replacement for Danger Man, whose production had been curtailed
when its star Patrick McGoohan had decided to create his own series, The Prisoner. Many of the Danger
Man production crew moved over to the new series, which was initially to be titled McGill after its lead
character. Like several ITC productions, the series would use an American star in an attempt to boost
the show's sales in the US. An early choice was Jack Lord, but the part of McGill eventually went to
Richard Bradford, a method actor who was spotted after appearing opposite Marlon Brando in the
1966 movie The Chase. The series was created by Richard Harris and Dennis Spooner. Neither writer
had any further involvement with the series – Spooner was mostly involved with producing his own series,
The Champions – and the lead character changed somewhat from their original conception of a hard-boiled,
wise-cracking detective.

McGill was a former US Intelligence agent, who had been forced to resign from the service six years before
the opening episode, practically accused of treason. Unable to clear his name or return to the USA, McGill
makes ends meet by working as a travelling private detective and bounty hunter based in Britain, living out
of his suitcase (hence the title). His cases generally took him to different parts of Europe, and on a couple
of occasions to Africa.
