Four new files open for the trained assassin Callan (Ben Miles) and his sidekick Lonely (Frank Skinner) in Callan Volume One – out now.

David Callan works for The Section, a top-secret counter-espionage organisation. He’s a killer, a trained assassin, and the best at what he does. But that doesn’t mean he has to like it.

With the aid of the burglar Lonely; fellow operative Meres; and Section secretary Liz, Callan fulfils the orders of departmental head Hunter and finds himself in very murky waters.

Murder, betrayal and model soldiers. It’s all in a day’s work for Callan.

1.1 File on a Deadly Shot

Callan goes hunting for an assassin.

1.2 File on a Classy Club

The stakes are high for Callan when he takes on a gang using a casino for cover.

1.3 File on a Harassed Hunter

There’s a plot to assassinate Hunter and the man behind it murdered his daughter.

1.4 File on an Awesome Amateur

Callan and Meres are sent to Venice to kidnap a Russian poet.

Peter Mitchell explains how it felt to bring his father’s work back to life: “It was a tremendous privilege to be invited to take part in this project. I grew up with David Callan and he was the first television character created by my father which brought him to prominence. It was a little bit daunting to take on the responsibility of the adaptations but, strangely, the more I got into writing the scripts, the closer I felt to my Dad. It was an incredibly rewarding experience and I know my father would be delighted to know that, even after all this time, David Callan lives on.”

“These are Peter’s first ever scripts for Big Finish,” says producer David Richardson. “That could have meant a difficult production process but it was actually very easy. His adaptations are so rich and atmospheric, capturing the original show perfectly. Peter has lived with Callan for most of his life, and there was no better person to reinvent it for audio.”
