Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Man in a Suitcase was a British TV series produced by ITC Entertainment that aired for one series (1967–68) on ITV. Its only regular character was McGill (Richard Bradford), a former American intelligence agent based in London, who was misblamed for a Western scientist defecting to the Soviet Union. Unable to either clear his name or return to the US, the disgraced McGill hires himself out as a Private Detective and Bounty Hunter, often to clients who plan to take advantage of him.

Anachronic Order: Like many ITV series of the time, the order in which the episodes were aired was wildly different to that in which they were produced. The most significant consequence of this was that "Man from the Dead", the intended pilot episode, which revealed McGill's backstory, ended up being broadcast sixth.

As You Know: In "Man from the Dead", the intended pilot episode, McGill's former CIA superior remarks to him that McGill has spent the previous six years as a private detective and bounty hunter across Europe. McGill, of course, is fully aware of how he has spent the past six years; the conversation is for the benefit of the audience. Unfortunately, due to the series Anachronic Order, the audience does not discover McGill's backstory until Episode Six.

Berserk Button: McGill really does not like to be reminded that he is officially a traitor. In one episode ("No Friend Of Mine"), he even punches a man in the face for bringing it up.
