Callan - 1973 Viewers first met secret
agent CALLAN in a one-off Armchair Theatre play
'A Magnum For Schneider', in which the disgraced
former top secret service agent is moved to a
government section devoted to the elimination of
undesirables - by whatever means necessary.
Callan's world was a violent, bleak world you
kill first or be killed. He was a cold-blooded
killer, an outsider, often in direct conflict
with his superior, Hunter, a codename given to
all Heads of Section. So successful was the
hitman with viewers that author James Mitchell
was asked to write a series that went on to
become one of the most successful series in
British TV history and ran from 1967 through to
1972. Made in 1973, this Feature Film is an
expanded rewrite of the first TV episode in which
the disgraced former secret service agent David
Callan is given an opportunity to redeem himself
with one more liquidation. His assignment is to
kill a businessman responsible for a number of
bombings and gun running, but not everything goes
according to plan.
