The series told 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. This excellent three disc set is available
