i see that this has been released on dvd;i recall the series on ch4 after the avengers finished its long run.

Callan is a peach of a series, I bought Series 1 on dvd last year, I love most things Edward Woodward stars in, funny thing about Callan is he played a spy, then later in the Equalizer he played a retired spy, Agent. Nice linkage.

I loved the Wicker Man, Christopher Lee was wonderfull, but alas the end of the film, I wanted to jump in the screen and save Edward, alas twas a sad ending.

Ye I have that wonderfull film, I thought Edward in the Equalizer was his finest moment, he was mature and looked dam fine in his suites and combat outfits, a great show, and how many unknowns got thier start in the Equalizer, Melissa Joan Hart, Macaulay Culkin, as well as starring seasoned professionals like Robert Mitchum and others.

Edward Woodward first started out as a sanitation engineer. then at 15 he went on to enroled at the Royal Academy of the Arts, he stared in plays By Noel Coward in 1967 he stared in Callan, which was originaly called "A Magnum for Schneider"

The Rest is History.
