Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Taking the well-travelled outlaw hero format of The Saint and reinventing the hero as a Mickey Spillane-like Yank, this tough-edged but trivial detective series stars the brick-like Richard Bradford as McGill as a former CIA man who owns only a gun and a change of clothes (hence the title) and wanders about foreign locales, using two-fisted methods to protect beautiful women or foil dastardly plots. Ron Grainer's title theme is among the best 60s TV tunes, and the intense, serious Bradford makes a refreshing change after so many breezy, unflappable, eyebrow-cocking heroes, but the mix of postcard backdrops, character villains and drama-school tottie is much the same as in The Saint, Danger Man, The Persuaders, and their ilk.
Volume Four includes: "Sweet Sue" wherein McGill tracks a millionaire's wild child-daughter, with guest stars Judy Geeson and George A. Cooper; and "Essay in Evil" which has McGill getting mixed up in a business feud, with Peter (Citizen Smith) Vaughan. --Kim Newman

One of the very best productions to emerge from the ITC stables. A hypnotic performance by the vastly underrated Richard Bradford in the title role. He doesn't act McGill, he IS McGill! The catchy Ron Grainer theme tune compliments the opening credits and really captures the essence of the adventurous story lines, which are fast paced and action packed. Not to be missed!
