About

You can stream Callan (1967) on Apple TV+ with a subscription.

Callan is the title of a British television series set in the murky world of espionage. Originally produced by ABC Weekend Television and later Thames Television, it was aired on the ITV network over four seasons spread out between 1967 and 1972. The series starred Edward Woodward as David Callan, a reluctant professional killer for a shadowy branch of the British Government's intelligence services known as 'the Section'.

Shadowy back alleys and cold, bureaucratic corridors define this unglamorous portrait of espionage. Instead of polished gadgets, you get a reluctant killer navigating a world where morality is as gray as the London fog.
