Inside Scotland Yard
Two-part documentary in which Trevor McDonald gains unprecedented access into the Metropolitan Police's headquarters, exploring landmark investigations as Scotland Yard moves to a new home.

Callan
David Callan, only good at one thing, well maybe two, killing people and collecting toy soldiers. He worked for a secret government agency called the Section under Hunter, head of the Section.

Callan was a solitary figure whose only, and sometimes reluctant, ally was a smelly snivelling small-time crook called Lonely. He defied his superiors on more than one occasion and became a liability to them because he cared too much. The Section itself had often tried to rid themselves of Callan, permanently, but ended up relying on his expertise or being out-maneuvered by it.
