One day, back in 1965, I remember my brother anxiously trying to obtain a copy of that week's RADIO TIMES - because therein was printed a coupon which enabled aspiring secret agents to send off for a MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. ID card. As any child of the '60s will remember, TMFU was the big hit of the time on British (and American) TV, and every kid in the land wanted to be an U.N.C.L.E. agent. I still remember the address - 58 St. James' Street, London, SW1. We sent off for quite a few cards over the course of the next few months, I can tell you. Sadly none of them survived, but for those of you in a similar predicament, dry your tears - the heartache is over.
Now you can obtain an exact facsimile of that Radio Times U.N.C.L.E. card - professionally printed from an original - along with its American counterpart and a letter of acceptance from the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement - for a paltry £5 (plus 75p for postage) from the following source:Quick - before T.H.R.U.S.H. buys all of them and cause an international shortage - recapture a magical moment from your long-ago childhood before it's too late.
