I haven't read what he died from, but I hadn't heard if he was ill.

The BBC Radio 5 headline said he was best known for "The Equalizer" and "The Wicker Man". 'Sfunny, I always thought he shot to stardom in "Callan".

He had a fine singing voice too.  A very talented man who will be missed.

Callan, that rings a bell.  He was a detective, or something?

Callan was an anti-hero secret agent, like James Bond but much less glamorous, with a smelly side-kick called 'Lonely'.

I don't remember the programme, but I remember the name, for some reason.  Perhaps I wasn't allowed to watch it? :dunno:

I think you'd have been a little too young, Simon.  So was I, but I remember my Mum and Dad talking about it, and my Dad rarely found TV worth discussing.

Callan was essential viewing every Wednesday evening if my memory serves me correct.  ITV used to produce some very watchable programmes in the early 70's.
