RIP David McCallum
Fond memories of being scared witless at Sapphire and Steel and enjoyed The Man from Uncle and The Invisible Man

Re: RIP David McCallum
I liked him. Glad to see he had a happy life, my thoughts are with his family.

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.

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!!!)

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
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".
