CALLAN
ABC/Thames / 37x60m-e / 1967-72
Creator: James Mitchell / Executive Producer: Lloyd Shirley / Producer: Reginald Collin
Spy
drama series. The cases of dour British secret service agent David Callan.
Initially developed by ABC and then taken on by Thames when it secured the ITV
London franchise in 1968, ‘Callan’, with its distinctive ’swinging
lightbulb’ opening sequence, remains one of the great TV dramas.
Influenced more by the down at heel Harry Palmer style of British spying than
the glamorous James Bond version, Callan was an edgy, friendless and reluctant
assassin trapped in a job he loathed.
The character first appeared in A Magnum for Schneider, a pilot episode
screened in February 1967 as part of the Armchair Theatre series of one-off
television plays. Disgraced former top agent David Callan (Edward Woodward) is
given an opportunity to redeem himself with one more liquidation. The catch is
that his superior, Colonel Hunter, frames him for the killing and, in so doing,
traps Callan into working through 44 more hard-bitten episodes during which he
must face all manner of menacing adversaries against every hazardous location
that could be dreamed up, from Canadian atomic power stations to sunken ships.
The great strength of Callan was its humanity. Woodward, who was in his late
thirties when the series began, was an ordinary looking man with extraordinary
skills. Hunter, who was played by a variety of actors during the course of the
four series, knew that Callan's weakness was that he cared about people even
though his profession made it impossible for him to get emotionally involved. In
turn, the urbane Hunter needed Callan's brilliance, even though he accepted that
Callan was the one man he could not completely control.
No account of Callan would be complete without mention of one of the most
enduring supporting characters in British television history. The relationship
between Callan and Russell Hunter's smelly, petty villain, Lonely, was
fascinating. Callan treated Lonely, who supplied him with under-the-counter
firearms and useful information, with complete disdain. At the same time,
however, he also protected his little accomplice, finding him a job as driver of
the communications car, a taxi filled with high-tech listening devices.
