Hello again, everyone. The Man From UNCLE is back on the #Bond_age_TV docket this week, and we’re finally making the leap to colour. But first, we’re going to have one more Season 1 B&W episode. It’s a special event this week, as both episodes will be featuring special guest star George Sanders. Sanders (1906-1972) had a long and illustrious career in Hollywood, and was no stranger to espionage/crime stories. He played both Simon Templar (aka The Saint) and The Falcon in 1930s and 1940s, and has the distinction of being one of the few UNCLE villains to make a return appearance. The first episode from this week’s Livetweet is Season 1’s “The Gazebo in the Maze Affair,” where he and Jeanette Nolan play a pair of murderous English aristocrats working for THRUSH. In Season 2’s “The Yukon Affair,” Sanders returns solo, this time plotting to mine a valuable rare mineral for use by THRUSH. So join us this Wednesday, May 28th at 9 pm EST for this great double bill! Remember to use the hashtag #UNCLEtweet!

In our second Man From UNCLE episode, “The Brain-Killer Affair,” Napoleon and Ilya race to prevent valuable UNCLE information from being drained out of Mr. Waverly via an evil THRUSH device. They must contend with brutal THRUSH agents and an empty-brained goon with a hammer. Luckily, they have Yvonne Craig and Rosie Grier on their side. Enjoy the mission report!

This past Wednesday, the boys and girls of #Bond_age_TV got together to enjoy some more fun times with The Man From UNCLE. First off, we watched as Napoleon Solo, trapped behind the iron curtain, battled THRUSH agents, a nationalist superspy, and annoying American teenagers, to get important information back to UNCLE. It was “The Dove Affair,” and a good time was had by all! Enjoy the field report!

Greetings, all!
#Bond_age_TV continues its look at Season 1 of Man From UNCLE this week with two more fun episodes.

Then, in “The Brain-Killer Affair,” Napoleon and Ilya have to prevent Mr. Waverly from being brainwiped by a mad scientist in the employ of THRUSH.

The second episode of the evening was “The Project Strigas Affair.” Taking a page out of the Impossible Missions Force playbook, the plot this time had Solo and Illya seeking to completely destroy an Eastern European politician’s political future without killing him. The guest cast included Werner Klemperer as the politician. What truly makes this episode stand out, though, is that it’s the first onscreen pairing of Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner.

Greetings, #Bond_age_TV readers! Welcome to the first Man From UNCLE livetweet digest. It should have been the second, but unfortunately, due to an oversight on my part, the first livetweet session for UNCLE appears to be undigestable. So we begin the digests with the 2nd doubleshot of UNCLE eps. First up, Napoleon Solo finds himself imprisoned by THRUSH, and UNCLE invaded by a lookalike: it’s “The Double Affair.”
