It didn't matter if it had been 13 or 14 years since they had seen each other because the bond was still there. It was obvious that Robert and David still loved each other. I wonder if they talked on the phone back then, I'm sure they did. The interview was too short, I wanted them to talk forever. I will always love both of them. They were the best and very handsome. The M.F.U. was my favorite show and always will be. Robert is resting in Heaven and David is still with us. Both of them were/are still well loved by many. Thanks for sharing the interview.
I was a faithful man from Uncle fan. in addition to the TV show they also put out quite a few novels based on Man from Uncle themes .I remember having about a half a dozen of them. I just came across this thanks for putting it up.
And now "NCIS". Wish Robert could've had a guest role there. I think I would've liked "West Wing" or "L&O" better if he'd been a regular chr. on either!
If they'd had a producer who really got what made that series so special, there might've been more U.N.C.L.E. reunion movies. Oh, well. Nice we got the one at least. *R.I.P, Dr. Vaughn.*
Vaughn and McCaullum did come from different political view points, but it never got in the way of them working together. I think Luden was too nosy, irritating rude with her questions, trying to provoke some drama or reveal dirt.
I had a man from UNCLE mauser lonestar cap gun in a briefcase with a silencer, telescopic site, shoulder extension and a triangular badge. As a kid it was the best toy ever. Then Robbie up the road got a Johnny seven gun and my life has been a disappointment ever since.
That was one of my favorite television shows--I hated when it was canceled. The Man from UNCLE and The Twilight Zone were my favorite television shows--nothing could touch them until The X Files, Weeds, and Power hit the airwaves.
@@ralphcrisp2112 Funny, I never noticed. He was starting to look a bit like Bob Barker when he got older. I'm older now than David was when I met him in '76 and '78 and now I'm just beginning to get grey. Am I depressed? No way!
My dad was in Army Intelligence-liason w/British Intelligence during WW2-and my great niece is going into Naval Intelligence. Maybe, that's why I liked Lt. Malcolm Reed on "Enterprise"- as my dad had a friend from Worcester-who reminded me of Reed. He also lived in Leceister-where Dominic Keating (Reed) was born. Fellows was also a tactical officer like Reed.
David looks like he did in Sapphire and Steel. Presumably that and Colditz were the UK shows he'd been doing. He also did The Invisible Man in the US in the late 70s. And Robert Vaughn was The Man from UCLA... interesting!
They played together in the episode 'Say UNCLE Affair' on the "A-Team". It didn't really have anything to do with "MFU", only that they were in that series together. David played a Russian-hence, the stereotype. Robert was a regular though.
They filmed part of that reunion movie in Hempstead, Long Island, for some reason. I remember seeing the sign on the motel (!) where they were staying as I drove by.

David McCallum so embraced his coroner's role (Duckie) on NCI that he has been asked to give talks at pathology conferences-several pathologists have said that his breath of knowledge even amazes them
David Hartman on GMA was known to be an incredible egomaniac to the previous women who worked with him (including Nancy Dussault) -Joan Lunden was hired in 1980 as she was new to TV and could put up with Hartman
@@bufnyfan1 that's interesting. For a while he had a role on the Virginian and played an extremely humble man. That's acting, you have no idea what they're really like off camera.
@@alcoholic2412 Time magazine did an expose in September 1980 on network morning shows--GMA was noted to have the best ratings-but it was an incredibly unflattering about Hartman--apparently, no one was allowed to stand in his "limelight"--ABC put up with him because the ratings were great and the networks were beginning to realize the incredible advertising revenue morning shows could bring in
What gets me is that the interviewer can't understand why David should want to go home to Britain to see his Mother and family what on Earth is odd about that 🤔🇬🇧
It always should've been called 'The Men From Uncle.' No disrespect meant to the great Robert Vaughn who was, rightly, the lead. But, the producer who went with the singular definitely missed a trick, 'til it, ultimately, made little sense.
This must have been filmed about 1982. David McCallum is still alive and is over 90 now (2021). Robert Vaughn died about 5 years ago. FWIW, I thought the movie with Henry Cavill and Arnie Hammer was absolutely brilliant. They did a superb job of recreating the ambience of the 60s.
@@shirleyjeannite5724 David will only be 89 on his next birthday-9/19! He's not old! I stole that phrase from the Vulcan First/Science Officer, Cdr. T'Pol in 'Zero Hour' on "Enterprise" (2004) when she told Cdr. Trip she wasn't "old", only to be 66 on her next birthday.
thats not Robert Vaughn.. or Napoleon Solo. its ROSS 'THE BOSS' WEBSTER! 'i asked you to kill superman.. and you're telling me you couldnt do that one. simple. thing' *drops phone*

bre-joyce west I have not loved a show more than U.N.C.L.E.
I feel the same way.
Real COOL. Loved the series & the soundtracks.
Joy, that was sweet ❤️❤️
I was a faithful man from Uncle fan. in addition to the TV show they also put out quite a few novels based on Man from Uncle themes .I remember having about a half a dozen of them. I just came across this thanks for putting it up.
I always adored David McCallum ❤. He was a great actor and had terrific talent.
McCallum's dad, a symphony musician, suggested to Jimmy Page that he try a violin bow on his guitar. The rest is history.
Born in 1954.....me and my little brother played Man from UNCLE against other kids in the neighborhood.
Both David and Robert always had great hair.
I very much enjoyed watching David in the series "Sapphire & Steel" and "The Invisible Man" as well.
😀👍 Yeah!
And now "NCIS". Wish Robert could've had a guest role there. I think I would've liked "West Wing" or "L&O" better if he'd been a regular chr. on either!
Been in love with Joan from the first time she was on TV!!!! ❤
RIP Robert Vaughn (1932-2016) and David McCallum (1933-2023)😢
I guess the film was the TV movie - The Fifteen years later Affair - released in 1983
It was good fun from what I recall
If they'd had a producer who really got what made that series so special, there might've been more U.N.C.L.E. reunion movies. Oh, well. Nice we got the one at least. *R.I.P, Dr. Vaughn.*
I worked at Radio City Music Hall in the early 80s and saw Robert Vaughn at the concession stand, he likes Milk Duds.
Loved David in whatever else he did. Got to meet him too in Atlanta! Very kind as well.
My favorite TV show
Same here. Favourite adventure series ever.
My brother in law used to see David McCallum on the London underground most mornings back in the eighties when he was working there.
Busking or selling tickets?
Ihad forgotten how incredibly Beautiful Joan Lunden was. I have been watching NCIS for years which David McCallum is in.
Vaughn and McCaullum did come from different political view points, but it never got in the way of them working together. I think Luden was too nosy, irritating rude with her questions, trying to provoke some drama or reveal dirt.
Joan Lunden was a fox....wow !
I had a man from UNCLE mauser lonestar cap gun in a briefcase with a silencer, telescopic site, shoulder extension and a triangular badge. As a kid it was the best toy ever. Then Robbie up the road got a Johnny seven gun and my life has been a disappointment ever since.
You just aged me. I had the U.N.C.L.E gear too, and my brother got the Johnny Seven.......
Always a fun show to watch. Their chemistry made it work.
Like Jim West and Artemis Gordon.
Vaughan was an absolute genius. Watch him and Buckley debate Vietnam...
Yes, Vaughn had quite an intellect. Pity he didn't accept his party's invitation to run for Governor of California.
@@gallery7596….A New Deal Democrat who doesn’t apologize for it.
I presume they were talking about the making of The Return of the Man From Uncle (1983).
"There were rumors that we knew each other VERY well". "Also untrue". Ah, they have heard the about the fandom XD
😂😂😂
Lol
That was one of my favorite television shows--I hated when it was canceled. The Man from UNCLE and The Twilight Zone were my favorite television shows--nothing could touch them until The X Files, Weeds, and Power hit the airwaves.
They haven’t changed in 15 years, wow!!
Except Vaughn parted his hair...on the opposite side during U.N.C.L.E

Shame the 1983 UNCLE series never made it past the pilot.
They would do the reunion movie and do the A-Team later.
The Uncle Affair
I still have my membership card that I sent for....so disappointed to be allocated the ‘Intelligence’ Dept rather than out in the field😂

@@virginiaconnor8350 that’s really impressive! My problem was, I wasn’t intelligent🤷🏻
David looks like he did in Sapphire and Steel. Presumably that and Colditz were the UK shows he'd been doing. He also did The Invisible Man in the US in the late 70s. And Robert Vaughn was The Man from UCLA... interesting!
And Vaughn did "The Protectors" in the UK, too.
Don't forget the Kidnapped series in 1978!
They played together in the episode 'Say UNCLE Affair' on the "A-Team". It didn't really have anything to do with "MFU", only that they were in that series together. David played a Russian-hence, the stereotype. Robert was a regular though.
A pity they didn't speak about Leo G. Carroll.
Not enough segment time to cover it all.
They filmed part of that reunion movie in Hempstead, Long Island, for some reason. I remember seeing the sign on the motel (!) where they were staying as I drove by.
Now he’s remembered as Ducky on NCIS.
2 of the greats
It's U.N.C.L.E. - United Network Command for Law and Enforcement
The actual United Nations (UN) was very quick to distance themselves from anything to do with this series
The Original Title For The Man From
U . N . C . L . E . Was Ian Fleming's Solo . And The Original Title For The Girl From
U . N . C . L . E . Was The Girl From
A . U . N . T . I . E . The Acronym For Associated Unified Nations Taskforce for International Enforcement .
Yes U . N . C . L . E . is The Acronym For United Network Command for Law and Enforcement .
Thanks , I saw an old clip from the show a few weeks ago and was scrambling the acronym in my head since. Now it's settled!
Bit of trivia: when MFU went off the air it was replaced by Laugh-In.
Hard to believe that Napoleon and Ilya were replace by Tyrone F. Horneigh and Gladys Ormphby. Lol!!!!!!!
I remember Napoleon Solo's opening line, 'Open channel 'D'?
Joan was smokin' hot back then!
Because I met Vaughan at McCallum`s wedding late Sixties, Oyster Bay.
Hello 👋 Sandra...
Vaughn was so smart. PhD from UCLA.
Nope. USC. GO TROJANS!!!
USC
David McCallum so embraced his coroner's role (Duckie) on NCI that he has been asked to give talks at pathology conferences-several pathologists have said that his breath of knowledge even amazes them
David's got brain, Robert have had too.
Too bad " The Girl from U.N.C.L.E " with Stephanie Powers didn't l ast as long as that did, forever apart of my 60s childhood viewing..
Joan Lunden was so extra super hotsie totsie back then

@@bufnyfan1 Yea I can believe it. I was a teenager then and my mother always watched GMA
I SAW DAVID MCCALLUM 2005 IN LOS ANGELES.
Geeze was this broadcast during the late 70s
1982

GREAT INTERVIEW ! TUESDAY 5/28/24 MAY 28, 2024

Very very attractive.. Gorgious..

Time Flies ....
Tempus fugit!
Anyone else notice Vaughn sounds like Johnny Carson?
Joan Lunden was a Super Model, HOT!
He’s known as Ducky now.
Who was this female I forgot her name? I always though she was cute.
@G-man Thx Yes

1982
Oh I was close in my guess. Lol
Damn, why don't people post when something was recorded?
The internet, as we now know it, wasn't around then.
