Season four of "Danger Man" comprises of only two episodes - "Koroshi" and "Shinda Shima". They were actually shot at the back end of season three's filming schedule and were the first to be shot in colour.
The intention was that series four would use these episodes as an opener and continue in colour and in this new style. As it happened, McGoohan decided that Danger Man had run it's course and it was time John Drake retired. And so "Danger Man" gave way to "The Prisoner".
These last Danger Man episodes were difficult to slot into the schedules as there were only two of them. Some regions never did show them, others at odd times as fillers.
ITC eventually combined the two into  a fake feature film and shot some additional linking shots. It was released commercially as "Koroshi". There were no closing "Koroshi" credits and no "Shinda Shima" opening titles, the two simply ran into each other except for the few minutes of linking footage.

It didn't use the familiar 'positive to negative' Danger Man opening title sequence, or Edwin Astley's "High  Wire" theme. Instead it opens with some stock shots of Tokyo with the "Koroshi" titles superimposed over them, accompanied by an oriental music track. It actually works fine as a feature, and, while there's no reference to Danger Man as such anywhere in the whole film, the closing credits are accompanied by "High Wire".
The two have since been re-released as seperate episodes. "Shinda Shima" is perhaps the better of the two and actually resembles a "Prisoner " episode.  Many of the sets look as though they were re-used later on, the underground tunnels and the central arena in particular look very familiar. The style, colour and narrative flow is the same and of course a good deal of the cast and crew carried over into the later series. This included script editor, George Markstein, who argueably was as much responsible for creating The Prisoner as McGoohan was.
