As far as I remember Callan was actually a series on British
TV in the late 60s - a bit before my time and not often
repeated. I remember it being fairly seedy and there was a
marvellous character who I think was Callan's snitch called
Lonely. Edward Woodward was indeed the title character and
the only reason I know any of this is that about 20 years ago
I had a babysitter who was an old actress with a smelly dog
who claimed to have played Callan's landlady in the series.
The IMDB also lists a film from 1974 based on Mitchell's book
but it is unclear whether this was cobbled together from old
episodes or something new.
