@Equalizer408 translation: "He even played in the conspiracy of clover. I cassette" ?

Nowadays we have too many special effects, horrible dialogue and equally wretched acting. Callan's production budget may have been low, but the acting and writing were superb. Plus, the claustrophobic atmosphere works well. We need to get away from the imbecile cop shows with the 80lb blond who karate kung fus a 6'3" gangbanger to death while holding a 357 magnum the size of her waist. God Bless Edward Woodward.

@screenwriter44 - I agree 100%. Glossy effects and smart-ass editing, and crass dialog, they all get trounced by stuff of this quality. Brilliant stuff, loved it as a kid.

[DeafFret]

@ingravegreen agreed. He's so straight laced and authoritarian, despite the beautiful bohemian hair.

Hunter's smile is like a snake crawling on his face. It's incredibly unsettling. One of the best TV shows ever made.

[omega749]

William Squire (Hunter) and Patrick Mower (Cross) did great in the supporting roles, that icy smile of Squire's is really something.

"Not talking to you, sonny. You, I can force any time I want" == wonderful, casually patronizing remark.

just watched this episode last night on DVD...amazing acting by all, especially Mr. Woodward. Cannot wait to see the rest of this series.

[velocet1976]

@briancalibergbmd Yea, same here! Got into Callan by a mate of mine and watching a clip of the 1st episode, not the pilot, which got me SO HOOKED.....! Re. production quality, that's how it was in the late 60s/early 70s...they worked with what they were given, and did a fine job....British TV at it's best....!!!

[shadocross]

At least Callan killed with one bullet, not like todays killers that need a hail of bullets to kill one person, much more intense..Edward is the best.RIP.

[groeslon]

At least Edward Woodward never ended up "Emmerdale" .

[JoannaSlinky]

Good stuff from Edward (RIP)

[inkswithbrush]

Fantastic scene.

[robertnobody]

Awesome, Edward Woodward before he was the Equalizer! Very under-rated actor.

Check out his performance as Ebenezer Scrooge as well.

[kevinherbert]
