To be honest it was a mediocre show in terms of writing, but they managed to get Woodward and a host of other fine actors that made the show worth watching.

It sounds oddly similar having Woodward playing a former spy in in a second series after "Callum", to Patrick McGoohan being in "Secret Agent" and then "The Prisoner".

I've got an old VHS copy of Zeppelin (1971) w/ Michael York where he is kilted in the beginning scenes. Kind of an interesting film. O'Neille

Ah yes Highlander...
I just loved Sir Sean's delivery of the line:
"My name is Ramirez, I am a Spaniard."

There was a movie on telly last night called Heartless, it was set in Scotland and featured a LOT of kilted men, even one guy who rides a motorbike kilted!

Ha! Found the Rob Roy film I was talking about! Turns out it was an old Disney film (and by people's reviews, before the big D got cheesy). Had to do a lot of searching, and all I could find was VHS... but hey, I still have a VCR, and some of my favourite movies are still on that format. I may have to do video capture and format to turn it into a DVD... preserve the source material. It seems a shame that this film (along with The Sword and the Rose) seem to be falling into obscurity when they are apparently loved in classic film circles.

Note the lead actor's name: Richard Todd... now, for those of us in the know... Todd is a sept of what? Sorry, had to toss that out there.

Not necessarily a kilted movie, but has the same lead actor:

These two were mentioned together in a amazon.com review.
