The spy who came in from the cold... and really wanted to stay there.
S.I.S. agent David Callan is brought out of retirement for one last assignment.
Acting
Woodward's world-weary perfection—gravel voiced and magnificent.
Writing
James Mitchell's sharp dialogue, bitter as cold coffee.
Director
Shaun O'Riordan
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Woodward originated Callan in the 1967 TV series and played him across four decades, making this his farewell performance.
The 'wet job' title refers to assassination slang—Callan's specialty—but also winks at Britain's declining imperial wet work in the early Thatcher era.
