Callan – Volume 1: File on a Deadly Deadshot  

Originally released in July 2018, File on a Deadly Deadshot is adapted by Peter Mitchell and directed by Ken Bentley. Starring Ben Miles as trained assassin David Callan with Frank Skinner as his friend, former cellmate and partner in crime Lonely, this devious drama takes us to the heart of high society with a murderer on the loose.

With Lonely posing as his gentleman’s gentleman, the section’s top operative David Callan is sent to a country estate in Northumberland to infiltrate a rich men’s shooting party. One of his companions is an assassin but which one?  

High living and high stakes on the grouse moors as Callan attempts to work out which of the dead-shots is a man-hunter.
