Wissenswertes
There was a dispute over what the name of the villainous spy agency would be. The original name was THRUSH, but it was felt that this was too close to the name of the Russian spy agency SMERSH, so the studio ordered a name change for the film version. Hence, the name was replaced by "WASP" for the film version, and Robert Vaughn dubbed the word into the dialogue for all characters. The name THRUSH was used for the rest of the series, though.

Patzer
At about 41 minutes in Solo kicks the water pipe loose from the coupling. This would be impossible since the pipe it threaded would have to have been unscrewed to remove it.

Zitate
Napoleon Solo: I've told you about the organization we're dealing with. They kill people the way people kill flies. A careless flick of the wrist; a reflex action.

Amazing recovery of security

I remember how much I loved watching this series as I was growing up (I also really enjoyed the "spoof" of the series as done in "Get Smart".

I remember sending in for the "Agents Kit". All I actually remember from the kit was the identification card. I changed my agent number and Department name to be Napoleon Solo's😄

Researching it today I'm amazed that, in the very first episode, THRUSH compromised UNCLE headquarters and, somehow, they were able to keep the headquarters relatively secure for most of the remaining episodes.

Another pretty unbelievable aspect is UNCLE's use of a civilian in such a dangerous covert operation.

Ok, ok, I realize it"s a tv show and it's entertainment, not reality.

I still find it completely enjoyable.
