    Man in a Suitcase is a British television series produced in 1966/67 by Lew Grade’s ITC.

    It starred Richard Bradford in the lead role of McGill (no first name was ever given) as an ex-CIA agent working for $300–500, a week plus expenses in the murky work of Cold War espionage. Unlike many popular ITC series of the 60s that were more boys-own adventure, MIAS is noted for its gritty realism, with downbeat endings. The series was filmed on location and at Pinewood Studios.

    The opening titles saw the series title set in Futura Black. The logotype has appeared on merchandising from the 1960s such as sheet music and more modern products such as DVD and Blu-ray releases.

    The series is available on both DVD and Blu-ray in the UK and has been licensed across the globe including the Australia, France, Germany and the US.
