I was pal-ish with Andrew Pixley at that time and since he didn't have Carlton+ (or whatever it was called), he asked me to tape them for him.

And thus my addiction to The Sandbaggers, because it was just so good. In return, I got to see a load of black and white episodes of Callan, so it was a double-treat for me.

I've had the Region 1 DVDs for a year or two now, so I'm glad they're finally coming out on PAL and that everyone else can share my - our - addiction, too!

Writer's an Anglophile American and a lovely bloke. Q&C has several stories out in book form, as well as two novels (and I think there's talk of a film, too).

I was a huge Callan fan. It'd be great to see an updated version --?Ǭ†there hasn't been a decent British TV anti-hero since Fitz in Cracker.

How great to stumble back on your comment here again just after finishing v3! (they're great by the way and I feel inclined to get some of the novels out the library too)
