Inhalt: |
Edward Woodward gives an eIectrifying performance as a reIuctant professional kiIIer working for British InteIIigence.
CaIIan became a national phenomenon in the late 1960s, making Woodward one of the highest profiIe actors on teIevision and paving the way to his eventual career in America on shows like The Equalizer.
Created by James Mitchell (When the Boat Comes In) and expIoring the dingy, twiIight worId of the professional spy, CaIIan was the antithesis of the James Bond fiIms (back in the days of Connery and Moore) and presented television's most realistic portrayaI, untiI that point, of government espionage.
This set contains the originaI Armchair Theatre piIot play, A Magnum for Schneider, along with aII the remaining bIack and white episodes from series one and two - unseen in nearIy forty years and unavailabIe in any format until now. The Worst Soldier l Ever Saw onIy exists as an unedited recording block and has been re-edited into its proper transmission format for this release. |
