Welcome to my personal tribute to one of the best and
often neglected action adventure series of the 1960s
Man in a Suitcase.Filmed at Pinewood Studios and on location from
1966 - 1968, it starred American actor Richard
Bradford as McGill, an ex-CIA agent who had been
wrongly accused of treason and forced to resign.The series of 30 x 60 minute episodes followed McGill
as he moved from job to job earning a living as a
private investigator using the skills he learnt from
his time in the CIA. For these services he charged
a fee of anywhere between $300 - $500 a week
plus expenses depending upon who had hired
him.He drove a Hillman Imp and lived in rented
rooms with his only possessions being a
battered brown suitcase full of clothes and
a gun. Although living in London, his adventures
took him to places such as Manchester, Scotland,
Paris, Rome, the Greek Islands and even Africa.
