SynopsisThis parodic series, derived from very special agents, stages the adventures of a young spy at the service of the organization U.N.C.L.E. Annie, very special agent (original title: The Girl From U.N.C.L.E.) is an American television series in 105 episodes of 50 minutes, created by Sam Rolfe and Herbert Solow, and broadcast between September 22, 1966 and January 19, 1968 on the NBC network . The series features Barbara Moore in the role of Annie, a young U.N.C.L.E. (United Network Command for Law and Enforcement) responsible for combating Thrush agents (Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity), a secret criminal organization that seeks to dominate the world. Annie works under the orders of agent Alexander Waverly (Leo G. Carroll), the director of section 1 of the U.N.C.L.E., and in close collaboration with agent Illya Kuryakin (David McCallum), a Russian agent specializing in missions of 'Infiltration and sabotage. Together, they are responsible for carrying out dangerous missions around the world, using all kinds of high-tech gadgets and complex strategies to thwart Thrush plans. The series was very successful in the United States and has been broadcast in many countries around the world. She also inspired a derivative series, entitled The Adventures of Illya Kuryakin (The Man From U.N.C.L.E.), which was broadcast from 1964 to 1968. In 2015, a film adaptation of the series was carried out by Guy Ritchie, entitled the new Very special agents (The Man from U.N.C.L.E.). TriviaThe pilot for this series aired as a "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." (1964) episode "The Moonglow Affair" in early 1966, with Mary Ann Mobley as April Dancer and Norman Fell as a much older and decidedly non-British Mark Slate.
Leo G. Carroll, by appearing as Waverly in both UNCLE shows, became one of the first actors in the history of TV to play the same continuing character in more than one series.
April Dancer was originally to have been named Cookie Fortune. The name April Dancer is attributed to James Bond creator Ian Fleming, who had suggested the name for an UNCLE operative when he helped in the creation of "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." (1964) prior to his death. FilmingFilming locations: Authors of the card
