I'm an American, but i cut my teeth on this period's productions. I esp. Loved Callan as one of the first, and most authentic anti-heroes, a man who does what he's forced to do, but still clutches his own moral/ethical system to his breast. Now 75, i recognize this series as the antecedent to The Equalizer. I miss Edward Woodward so much. Many thank yous for posting this.
@@kussemeinkontMoney, he was an ex soldier with the skills to kill in a professional manner. When he left the army he used his skills as a locksmith to Burgle a shop, he was arrested and blackmailed into working for the section
If you read the books more is explained about the callans life how he met lonely.. The Dr the groper gay looked after callan when he got into fights. In the scrubs
Mr Edward Woodward. A true legend and sorely missed. Grew up watching the equalizer and loved it, my father said if you like that youll probably love callan...he was right. Fantastic program. Thanks for uploading.
Absolutely wonderful ending to the series - Callan gave Hunter the exact same loyalty he'd been given. It was only Lonely's presence that stopped Callan being dead, but maybe Hunter would have considered that a fair price for Richmond's capture.
Edward Woodward a brilliant English actor in a period when movies and tv relied on dialogue and content not CGI or ridiculous plot line. He will always be remembered as Howie in The Wicker Man but he was so much more than that. Bless his soul to eternal peace.
Classic show. My mum absolutely loved Callan. Not least because Russell Hunter played Lonely. You'd never believe he's from Glasgow. That's top acting!
I loved this British series and so many more in the 1960's and 1970's . I was amazed when I first heard an interview with Russel Hunter speaking with his Scottish Accent similar to mine. Edward Woodward was a fine actor.
I was a fan of Robert McCall. I am American and not old enough to have seen Çallen. Edward Woodward had a wonderful speaking voice. Yes, this old woman still has a crush on Mr Woodward.
These three episodes represent the finest episodes in the Callan series. Always very high quality, but these were the top of the class. The movies they made were pretty crap but the weekly series were superb. Thank God the idiots who destroyed so many episodes (to save money ha ha) didn't get these. The intro credits retain their place as the best intro credits ever, the swinging lightbulb extinguished by a bullet were shocking no matter how many times you saw them.
Edward was totally underrated, this show was underrated, the 60's were underrated, TV back then was underrated, this comment is underrated, your reply is underrated, being underrated is underrated..overrated is totally underrated..
We envied the West back then for them having dozens of tv channels. They all turned out to be rubbish, fodder for the masses. This stupid Callan is just one example.
Blah blah blah all these people ever do is talk. Do they ever DO anything? With all the mumbling and incomprehensible accents I can make out every third word but that's better than the closed captioning's able to decipher.I guess it's American, too!
Not American. They never did anything this good. This is called dialogue and it’s spoken by real actors. Listen. No explosions, cgi, monsters. No visual candy. No chases. Also it’s about 60 years old. So imagine that. Audio was not so developed. So listen. It’s English spoken by Britains using their native language. So listen. In those days we were not dumbed down by supercilious and vacuous television programs with talentless, sterile cloned actors and audiences with the attention span of a gnat.

couldn't of put it better myself
who forced him to do things he supposedly hates?

Its kind of like with Don Johnson 'Miami Vice' and 'Nash Bridges' characters being very similar, Callan is not McCall but he could/should have been.

Watched this in a far away land 45 years ago. Wow.
Know how you feel.

Absolutely outstanding. I became a Wargamer and a toy soldier collector because of this programme. Happy memories of my childhood
Yes it was a great series.
same hear
The war gaming shop keeper was played by a 1st cousin of mine, Peter Beton. He’s still with us, now in his mid 90s.
Just awesome...the absolutely brilliant Mr Edward Woodward. Still as great now as they were back then. TV now just isn't if this type of quality 👌
Great programme - thanks for making it available.
Superb programming excellent acting, today's garbage, people don't know what they are missing.
Excellent drama. Thanks for the upload.
Like the pilot, another winner. Now I look forward to watching as many of the episodes I can find on RUclips.
You can find them in much better resolution than this, this looks awful
The whole lot's out there somewhere, in better condition.
I don't know where these days, though. Think I had DVDs ages ago.
Thanks for uploading. That was absolutely gripping.
This is brilliant. 37 mins in, great writing. I've seen the film and the odd episode but this is superb, so far.
Fantastic Brit TV drama at its best. thank you so much for uploading.
I'm definitely enjoying
Classic show.
My mum absolutely loved Callan. Not least because Russell Hunter played Lonely. You'd never believe he's from Glasgow. That's top acting!
Great
Can't see a light bulb dangling without thinking of Callan
Same here.

Woodward - an exceptional actor.
Absolutely superb. 👏👏👏
was expecting naff. pleasantly surprised. a lovely sunday evening watch! 🥰💖
Thanks for posting these. Our local county library had a few on DVD but they became pretty worn.

60/70, Today Gaza.
This would make for a good radio series.
used to sneak up to watch callan. awesome show. poms rule.
Outstanding
Backed up by some great supporting actors
Movie (1974)?
ThnX 4-Upldng.
I'm guessing 1972 cos in a dialogue Callan says 'will she recognise you in 1986' to the woman spy who's facing 14 years in jail.
1:40:08 Kessler !!!! Not too surprised they hired the likes of him.
Callan comes into the warehouse makes a noise turns on the flashlight, my money is on Richmond

Edward was totally underrated, this show was underrated, the 60's were underrated, TV back then was underrated, this comment is underrated, your reply is underrated, being underrated is underrated..overrated is totally underrated..
Guest star tp mackenna
Always a class actor professional..
How did Callan get Harris's name when he didn't give it at the magazine shop?
I love Edward Wood Ward I liked him in that drama were he played a bin man I can't remember what it was called though
Common as Muck
@@JackieWatts-w5x, there's money in muck lol.
i don't eat seafood it's in my dossier ,i didn't read it ?
4% west and he is watching columbo.
LONDON'S 12 MILLION PEOPLE.😅😂😮😢🆘⚖️ THEM WERE THE DAYS OF CALLANS GOLDEN YEARS 🥇🇬🇧🆘🥇💪🧐
It certainly seems like a soap opera.
I think your head is buried somewhere dark and nasty.
Loved the Callan series in which he was really menacing but the Equalizer series was a poor show and Woodward frankly not enough
Geez Phil Collins is ard in this role
So.ard you could skate on him.
why take the drugged guy back to the flat? to get Richmond makes no sense ?
👍👍👍👍👍
Cumberbatch's dad. 😄
I was thinking the same thing...
We envied the West back then for them having dozens of tv channels. They all turned out to be rubbish, fodder for the masses. This stupid Callan is just one example.
Then you understand nothing.
Well done comrade, you can have an extra beetroot ration this month .
Dosvidania then knobby.
Enjoy your potato. 🤣
you do know you are free not to watch,
How's Mr Putin these days😂
