Featuring an electrifying performance from Edward Woodward, CaIIan explored the dingy twiIight worId of the professional spy and presented what was, until that point, teIevision s most reaIistic portrayaI of government espionage - becoming a national phenomenon in the 1960s and making Woodward one of the highest profiIe actors on television. This single pIay, originalIy aired in 1981 and scripted by series creator/writer James Mitchell, saw the reIuctant kiIIer pressed into service one Iast time. Reuniting CaIIan and his malodorous sidekick, LoneIy (Russell Hunter), the play also stars George SeweII, Hugh Walters (as Hunter), Anthony Smee and Helen Bourne. Ten years on, David Callan hasn t changed much. Retirement has brought a new identity, a new mistress, and a new business in the form of a militaria shop; but he finds that once a secret-service operative, aIways a secret-service operative when a calI summons him to headquarters and a meeting with the fourth Hunter of his career - a past CaIlan thought dead and buried. Reactiviating it is no pIeasure - but it has to be done. |
