RIP David, a great actor.

Re: RIP David McCallum
 

Such a long career.

Re: RIP David McCallum
 

I liked him. Glad to see he had a happy life, my thoughts are with his family.

Re: RIP David McCallum
 

The Man from UNCLE was TV to do your homework to in the 80s. :D. It was either that, or Mission Impossible, or Star Trek. I discovered Sapphire and Steel when I was a little older, when the local Dr Who society used to occasionally play an episode during its meetings.

Most if not all of Sapphire and Steel is presently floating around on your favourite web based video streaming service, though it’s been uploaded unofficially and I’m surprised it’s managed to stay up for 6 years so far …

RIP indeed, and thanks for the memories.

yes very good shows they were RIP David

Re: RIP David McCallum
 

The Submarine episode of S&S particularly sticks in my memory

Re: RIP David McCallum
 

I loved him in everything he did.RIP.

I’ve been slowly working my way through them on *tube but haven’t got to that one yet. My favourite is the one in the railway station, partly because it was an episode from that story I saw first - Steel trying to attract the ghost by singing Pack Up Your Troubles is still haunting even now (What? You’re trying to actually get a ghost to show up? Stop it!!!)

Re: RIP David McCallum
 

That is the one. The station is a recreation of the submarine iirc Unless there is more than 1 station episode which is possible haha

Re: RIP David McCallum
 

He was great in The Man from Uncle

Re: RIP David McCallum
 

A brilliant actor who will be sadly missed.:(

Re: RIP David McCallum
 

S&S was killed off way before its time, I loved it.

RIP David.

In the NCIS season 2, episode 13 "The Meat Puzzle", Kate Todd asks Special Agent Gibbs "What did Ducky look like when he was younger?" The answer given was "Illya Kuryakin".
