| 413297 | 2006-01-12 22:56:00 | :) Odd, no one has yet pointed out that the character "Lonely" was from the series Callan, not Danger Man. :) What I liked about Danger Man were the somewhat futuristic gadgets he had, like the remotely controlled glass cutter attached to a rubber sucker fired from a cross bow, then a tug on the cord and out came a neat circle of glass from the window in the opposite appartment. Another shot from the bow, and a line would be fired across, firmly embedded in the window sill, whereupon the intrepid hero would slide across on the wire over a busy thoroughfare and effect entry to the enemy agents room. |

| 413299 | 2006-01-14 22:51:00 | That's right, Callan was played by Edward Woodward, a pretty tough character, ex-army, had served in Malaya, but suffering from a bit of inferiority complex because he was only from the working classes, whereas his colleague and arch rival 'Mears' played by Anthony Valentine was an 'upper class' agent. Their controller was always called 'Hunter'. Lonely was the rather smelly and unwashed wimpering character that Callan used to procure guns and ammo from the underworld, and carry out other procedures like breaking and entering. |
