@@kools67 Where'd you get that fact from? 😂 I read it was a producer or director that fought for Edward Woodward to play the lead role as he saw him in calan TV show and knew he was perfect,the studios wanted a big TV name
That was a great tv show. He wasn't a martial arts master as in the new movies of the same name, but he had brains, skill, bravery, and a sense of justice. It was plausible.
I liked Denzel Washington in that role. Outside of the action scenes, He's acting similar to Edward Woodward. Unfortunately they made him almost like a superhero in the action scenes which makes it a little bit silly.
You can have as brawn, muscle, and two bit MFC fighter skill as they come But the scariest man is the one that gives a polite smile as they walk away They usually have a few skeletons in their closet, or a couple of corpses in their deep freeze
I met Steve McHattie years ago at a Starbucks here in Toronto Canada. We had a coffee together and chatted about this episode amongst other roles he had. Extremely nice man.
This was my CAN'T MISS show in the 1980's! Edward Woodward played "Ex CIA" Robert McCall to T. It was so good I was glued while the credits played pondering McCall and his crew's work. I remember a name cos it appeared 15+ years later, JOEL SURNOW of "24" If and when it's streamed I highly recommend it. PS McCall's interactions with CONTROL are very entertaining, "Bloody Pakistan" :)
There was a long episode, terrorists hijacking a wedding, several interesting scenes but one series of scenes that sticks in my head is that thru the entire show a friend of McCall's was carefully making his way through the building, ceilings, air vents, empty rooms, through a large building and at the end made, at the exact right moment, ONE shot. All that effort. One shot. It was the only shot needed.
I remember one scene, where McCall says to some thug: "Are you calling me a liar? Now I'm going to tear you apart, piece, by nasty little piece!". Awesome.
I think the Jack Gammon character gets taken out later in the episode. Man, he was a great actor. Loved him in "Major League" which came out not long after this episode.
I loved this show in High School. Here was this unassuming little fat British Guy. He wouldn't hurt a fly. And yet in reality he was this deadly spook trying to make amends for all the hits he made in the CIA. The Intelligence community is full of guys like this. They look harmless, but if you turn your back, watch out !!
I enjoyed this series. It was cool and at the same time different. The 'hero' and his associates did not look like body builders or Karate experts. Just regular looking folks that knew how to kick azz and take names when necessary.
Brad Dourif! ALL over film and TV since the 1970s - one of the ultimate "hey, it's *that guy*" actors. Had a very interesting turn on STAR TREK: VOYAGER - a bit of stunt casting if you know anything about Brad Dourif.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
The first is always the best. The equalizer with denzal made me laugh with his cornball 'tough guy' image. Also had a litany of great up and coming stars.
Because the first is the one that had to stand on its own without attaching itself to an earlier successful series. Lots of TV shows try and fail. For many, we don't even remember that there was a pilot episode. But we have memories of watching the ones that succeed, alone or with family and friends. Which is why I popped in here for some nostalgia, and can go back to four classic seasons of gritty television if I want more. The TV networks should develop new concepts and not just try to rehash what came before.
@@iansneddon2956 On the money Ian. More often than not, many to most 'our' shows are copied/stolen from shows across the pond , a lot even from Japan. 'Our writers' here are caught in a quagmire between PC and little to no imagination. Anyone who has spent five or more decades of television watching will see or hear lines from shows back to the 40's. Pretty pathetic. But of course, just like political promises and / or speeches, younger people will think these are all new ideas. A great but short lived pilot series was 'Hardball'. Excellent pilot episode where Richard Tyson, as a nonconformist detective, meets and hooks up with actor John Ashton, the detective who is more old school. I hard great hopes for that before they yanked it. Not even a full season worth. Haven't looked for it here but will.
Who ever puts these videos up ! Brilliant I wish they could find the one that featured Ashford & Simpson… the one when he’s looking after a blind music critic
I love this series and watched it regularly in the 80's, it's only fault was Edward Woodward. He was great in the role, but my mom had the hots for him, and teen me cringed when she inevitably mentioned it during an episode. lol
The 80's is a fascinating time to look back on. A quite stark mix of the decades before and those that follow after. On the one hand entering the bright colours and machismo, that comes to be the hallmark of the 80's and onwards. Consumerism gone mad in the MTV mold. (Alongside "Greed is Good"). Yet, on the other hand, the dreary biscuit brownness of the world, before everything was made from mass production colourful plastics. (e.g. wood everywhere) By the time this series was made, Mr. Woodward was arelady becoming an overhang from a far more stoic, victorian, serious manner that once represented the qualities of being a grown up, educated and manly. Such a contrast to what followed and became the normalised role model. It is like compariing Henry Fonda or Rober Mitchum to Bruce Willis or Sly Stalone. Very different times, with very different ideals and messages. One grounded in reality, the other a form of fantasy, rooted in denail, that continues to this day. Since the 2010's of course, we have moved on to different ideals again, rejecting the machismo of the 80's, but not returning to those of the post war years either. Whilst the new film with Mr. Washington, is a product of these times, it was I think notable for the way it tried to bring the qualities of the original to the audience today. I think in that sense it was a good thing that is was made, and more so that someone like Mr Washington was involved, who in person, clearly espouses for a more mature, adult, moral form of assertiveness in people.
Does anyone know where i could stream the original series from the 80s? I loved the show, hate the reboots. I checked the usual services and can't find it.
Glad to have the entire series on DVD ,before DVD and The Denzel Washington movies even though he is great in them ,Back in the 1980s this was great TV on UK TV late Night to Early Mornings followed by The New Twilight Zone and Tour of Duty to Midnight Caller From 1985 to 1988 time when I was a young lad going on to the start of my Teenage years born in July of 1973 ,Edward Woodward was great as Robert McCall with so many Stars of Hollywood Guest starring in this in their early years or Legendary Stars like Robert Mitchum or Telly Savalas who guest starred also .Forget the 21st Century reboot series that is on Sky ,Have never watched it ,This is the series I enjoyed .TV at its best with Miami Vice ,Magnum ,Airwolf , Street Hawk and Blue Thunder to name a few TV shows back then .
I equally love the original and the Denzel Washington remakes. One of my favorite aspects of the original (which is also true of the remakes) is that there is often a moral dilemma which McCall must confront; or, as in the case of my favorite episode from the original "The Cup", a dilemma which someone close to McCall must face. In "The Cup", McCall's best friend's brother is a priest who hears in confession that a diplomat is to be murdered. Dilemma: does he allow his brother to "handle" the situation and thereby break the sanctity of the confessional, or does he allow a man to die?
I love how you are all programmed to say BS like "i equally love them both" when you actually don't. And why should you? Woodward was THE McCall. Anything else is a low effort knock off.
@@janreznak881 Actually Jan, I’m not programmed in the slightest. The Denzel Washington remake is far from a “ low effort knock off”, but is rather an innovative variation on the marvelous Woodward original which offers new socio-cultural insights into the McCall character and the times in which he lives. Updates of an excellent film or television series do not diminish the original, they refresh it. For example, the noted Scottish actor, David Tennant, appears in a delightful new version of “Around the World in 80 Days”, but the new version ( which also has multi-racial casting ) doesn’t take away from the wonderful 1950s David Niven version: it offers new insights and fresh facets which actually add to the stature of the original as does the new version of “The Equalizer”.
@@zatarawood3588 The character's name is the same and his background is coarsely similar, but even as good and as watchable as Denzel is, in my opinion they missed the core of the character. TE was never about "how many ways can we kill/injure the bad guys;" it was more like engaging the bad guys in a kind of mental jiu-jitsu. I've seen the first few eps of the new series with Queen Latifah and while she's great and the character's MO is more on the mark, there was an overreliance on computer/internet whiz-bang that magically solves any problem
Very distinguished British actor Edward Woodward.............long career on stage and screen. For TV look at Callan(episodes on YT), for film look at Breaker Morant.
@@lyncat There was a disagreement between CBS and Universal. They wanted to keep Murder, She Wrote going and apparently they couldn’t afford to keep both so they cancelled The Equalizer. Shame cause a final season that closed everything up would’ve been great.
I'm enjoying Queen L's version. I enjoyed Denzel's movies but I got cheated on the Original. Too busy working when it was on Network. One of the Streamers needs to pick it up.
I remember he used to do adverts for a manufactured wood board called "craftwood" in the '80's. There's at least one uploaded here on UA-cam Edward Woodward... advertising wood (shakes head). "Craftwood would, where wood, wouldn't...or my name isn't Edward Woodward" absolute '80's cringe, but it worked.
God yes, he had an aura of menace that just said do not f**k with me the consequences will be very serious, absolutely loved this programme. Such a great time for unmissable shows
You know, it would've been great if they'd've made it that Queen L's an adopted daughter of EW's McCall or something like that. carrying on the "family" tradition. Could maybe even use some of these ep as flashback type things.
I would rather they didn't poison the memory of the old show by mixing it up in a remake that was neither needed nor wanted (at least not by anyone I know). I have an idea for TV Networks, how about inventing your own concepts for television shows and produce something original.
I've seen Edward Woodward in interviews. he was actually a very funny man.
Loved this series.What made it diffrent was Edward Woodward as The Eqilizer. He was a fantastic actor.
remember watching this in the 80s...great then. Going to revisit it
Only Edward Woodward could have played this role,his english gentleman,wit,style and class made the series stand out
Edward Woodward lived in Cornwall and would often do his Saturday shoping nearby in Tavistock Pannier Market. Unfortunately he died before he had a chance to purchase any wares from Ali Duftys Fine Yarn Accessories.
Would have been a great Bond
U should see Denzel Washington
Woody Allen was first choice for the role of McCall...Sammy Davis Jr told him to pull out...warned him that the show would turn into a stinker...Allen pulled out!
Sammy Davis Jr called Woodward and told him the role was his!
amazing fact!!
@@kools67 Where'd you get that fact from? 😂 I read it was a producer or director that fought for Edward Woodward to play the lead role as he saw him in calan TV show and knew he was perfect,the studios wanted a big TV name
I miss Edward Woodward.
Used to be one of my favorite shows to watch every week.
The greatest crime drama series from the great 1980s!!!!!
Now, the remake is a fat black chick beating up the bag guys?
That was a great tv show. He wasn't a martial arts master as in the new movies of the same name, but he had brains, skill, bravery, and a sense of justice. It was plausible.
He knew martial arts but used his brain most of the time
I liked Denzel Washington in that role. Outside of the action scenes, He's acting similar to Edward Woodward. Unfortunately they made him almost like a superhero in the action scenes which makes it a little bit silly.
He was proficient in unarmed, hand to hand.
You can have as brawn, muscle, and two bit MFC fighter skill as they come
But the scariest man is the one that gives a polite smile as they walk away
They usually have a few skeletons in their closet, or a couple of corpses in their deep freeze
@@doktorkraesch3014 A bit of a murdering psychotic too
Brilliant show better than the one they got today
💯💯. i used to watch this show when i was 9 (i am now 22) and the original is far much better…
Edward Woodward the best to play equaliser
He had that ice cold look that made it clear that he could kill the one he was looking at without any effort or regret!
Mchattie and Dourif. What more could you want? Legends. Woodward's sly little grin was magic, too.
@peppercar Hell, yes!
@@donaldpriola1807 I couldn't agree more
I miss this show.
An absolute excellent series. Intelligent, understated, and ofter brilliantly devious.
So well-put. Spot on!
I bought the entire series. Was one of my favorite shows way back when.
Soundtrack by Stewart Copeland. I remember my parents watching this show as a kid-great show.
So loved this show.
My older sister and I used to love watching this show together! I wish they would air the old episodes on one of the streaming sites or even TV
I met Steve McHattie years ago at a Starbucks here in Toronto Canada.
We had a coffee together and chatted about this episode amongst other roles he had.
Extremely nice man.
Still the best equalizer.
For me, the only equalizer.
Denzel is the best, the TV show was boring
The original Equalizer!
The real equalizer.
The REAL deal, but Denzel came close especially in his first Equalizer film! ♐
I used to see Jim each day at a place o worked , super nice guy , had some great stories about the " good old days " of Hollywood
This was my CAN'T MISS show in the 1980's! Edward Woodward played "Ex CIA" Robert McCall to T. It was so good I was glued while the credits played pondering McCall and his crew's work. I remember a name cos it appeared 15+ years later, JOEL SURNOW of "24" If and when it's streamed I highly recommend it. PS McCall's interactions with CONTROL are very entertaining, "Bloody Pakistan" :)
Ex MI-6. He worked for the British before he emigrated to the US.
I got to know Joel Surnow a little when I lived in LA. He has amazing credits.
I liked the Jag that he drove.
He always gets the prickly heat in Pakistan.
There was a long episode, terrorists hijacking a wedding, several interesting scenes but one series of scenes that sticks in my head is that thru the entire show a friend of McCall's was carefully making his way through the building, ceilings, air vents, empty rooms, through a large building and at the end made, at the exact right moment, ONE shot.
All that effort. One shot.
It was the only shot needed.
Loved that episode. Monk was the head terrorist. He wouldn’t have gotten shot if he wasn’t lining up the wedding presents in alphabetical order.
One shot always takes a lot of work.
Patricia Clarke was the bride, wife of Elliot ness in the untouchables
Episode was called Breakpoint....and its one of my favorites because that friend was Mickey Kostmayer, really gave his character a chance to shine.
@@redsabreanakin I too was a big fan of Mickey. Utterly fearless.
Interesting how Edward Woodward incorporated some elements of his Callan role into this series. Excellent quality throughout both series.
This is Callan but mature, worldly, more cultured, urbane, sophisticated, opulent but just as lethal as his younger working class version!
I loved this show and Denzel did very well also. Both Cool, smooth and deadly. Great job
True indeed💯💯💯💯
Equalizer TV show had an interesting premise...theme music and soundtrack was pretty cool too.
Music was as 80s as you get.
Absolutely he was the only one, THE EQUALIZER
To me this is the REAL Equalizer!
I don't bother watching the latest version
Agreed
I loved this show.
What a great scene! Edward Woodward, James Gammon, Sylvia Miles, Brad Dourif and Stephen McHattie: you couldn’t ask for a better cast.
Mc Call equalises everything…. Always so cool…. The real Iceman!
We need it back. Sadly Edward Woodward is no longer with us but I'm sure there could be an alternative.
Jason Statham? Liam Neeson? Ralph Fiennes? Brain Cox? Ian McShane?
Russel Crowe
Sean Pertwee, who played Alfred in the TV show Gotham.
James Spader. If you ever watched blacklist. It is probably the closest show to this.
Billy Zabka could continue as Scott McCall
McCall is looking at the parole officer in the bar and probably thinking, "We could've used him in The Company."
I remember one scene, where McCall says to some thug: "Are you calling me a liar? Now I'm going to tear you apart, piece, by nasty little piece!". Awesome.
Edward Woodward, Brad Dourf and Stephen McHattie! Great actors all
And Stephen McHattie gets out of prison some years later and makes the mistake of going into Viggo's diner...
Eye contact with McCall at the end - you know there's gonna be trouble.
I think the Jack Gammon character gets taken out later in the episode. Man, he was a great actor. Loved him in "Major League" which came out not long after this episode.
Wish they would stream it online.
"Cowboy" almost steals the scene here.
This show was great-the Adam Ant episode freaked me out!
@peppercar He was better in Sledge Hammer.
3-57: THAT stare! LOL
Arnold Schwarzenegger once told Edward Woodward he got his death stare from him in this show
I loved this show in High School. Here was this unassuming little fat British Guy. He wouldn't hurt a fly. And yet in reality he was this deadly spook trying to make amends for all the hits he made in the CIA. The Intelligence community is full of guys like this. They look harmless, but if you turn your back, watch out !!
This show was brilliant. The best thing about it, was that the villian was dead by the end. Most of the time.
Brilliant show this was
I enjoyed this series. It was cool and at the same time different. The 'hero' and his associates did not look like body builders or Karate experts. Just regular looking folks that knew how to kick azz and take names when necessary.

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
Man a few words that didn't have to say anything is stare did it all
sorry queen latifah but your updated version just doesn't compare to what edward woodward could do
Both hers and the Denzel Washington Equalizers are simply exercises in White erasure.
Forget about the curveball Ricky, give em the heater.
