Action series first made in the seventies - contemporary with "The Saint", "Mission Impossible" and much of the Bond series.
Heavily drawing upon the world of "Dangerman" but with less reality, "The man from U.N.C.L.E." introduced a bewildering array of plots, gadgets and attempts to bring down the world - all interwoven with cult classic acting.
Napoleon Solo and Ilya Kuryakin were the title "Men from UNCLE" - where UNCLE was both their commander, Alexander Waverly and the name of their organisation: United Network Command for Law Enforcment.
Flashy cars, silly plots, Batman style deathtraps (You will drown in this fortune cookie dough!) explosions and a host of guest stars...
The Man from UNCLE can be described in two words:
Truly Awful.
As in, not. BTW, anyone remember what THRUSH stood for? - MoonShadow
