Girl from U.N.C.L.E., The
Entry updated 1 April 2026. Tagged: TV.
US tv series (1966-1967). Arena Productions/MGM for NBC TV. Executive producer Norman Felton. Writers include Robert Bloch, Richard Matheson, Samuel A. Peeples, and Sam Rolfe. Directors include John Brahm, Mitchell Leisen, Leo Penn, Joseph Sargent, and Barry Shear. Cast includes Leo Carroll, Noel Harrison, and Stefanie Powers. 29 50-minute episodes. Colour.
This spinoff from The Man from U.N.C.L.E. featured female agent April Dancer (Powers) and her male sidekick Mark Slate (Harrison), who had first appeared in an episode of the parent series, with Carroll again playing their boss. Its stories tended to be sillier and ventured more forthrightly into sf territory, but the series lacked the magic of its precursor and was cancelled after one season. One episode, "The Mother Muffin Affair" (1966), is mildly noteworthy because it featured Boris Karloff in drag playing a villainous woman.
Ties to the series were The Birds of a Feather Affair (1966) by Michael Avallone; The Blazing Affair (1966) by Avallone; The Global Globules Affair (1967) by Simon Latter (see E C Eliott); The Golden Boats of Taradata Affair (1967) by Simon Latter (again see E C Eliott); and The Cornish Pixie Affair (1967) by Peter Leslie. As with the parent series there was also a spinoff magazine, The Girl from U.N.C.L.E., which was short-lived. [GW/DRL]
