John Drake's Mission: Discover how a young woman wandering the countryside with amnesia has secret information about a second plot to assassinate the president of the friendly country.
These Danger Man episodes are like crack - the more I see the more I want to see. This one is another real winner. While the amnesia plot device may, at first, seem tired, The Girl in Pink Pajamas doesn't drag it out and allow it to overstay its welcome. There is the some real suspense in this episode with Drake playing a bluff hoping for the desired outcome. Will the bluff work or not? Drake also gets one of his better chances to show his fighting skills as he takes on three baddies at once without a gun (Drake doesn't have a gun, the baddies do). My only complaint is that there are so many characters and so much going on, I would have liked a longer runtime than the 25 minutes Danger Man allowed for. It's not that things are too rushed, I would have just preferred to see things drawn out more to add to the enjoyment.
A solid 8/10 from me.
