RIP David McCallum

How very sad. RIP David McCallum. A magnificent Scottish actor. I particularly enjoyed watching him in Sapphire & Steel, but was always delighted to see him pop up in things. Always a strong performer. For example he was an assured Eugene Wrayburn in the 1958 BBC version of Dickens’s Our Mutual Friend.

From season 1 TKO is the nadir for me, by quite a way. Some rewatches we skip the very poorest episodes, but this time are watching everything. The Ivanova/rabbi stuff really hit me hard this time, for obvious reasons. But that’s a rare quality moment in an otherwise very poor episode.

I agree that TKO has one of the weakest A-plotlines. The B-plot with Ivanova nicely follows on from the earlier ongoing minor mystery and is a nice bit of character development for her.
