> Man, I was SOOOO in love with David McCallum!

You're not the only one. Of course, so was I. And Terry Gross interviewed
David McCallum on Fresh Air (I think it was last year), and *she*
confessed that she also had been in love with him as Ilya Kuryakin. Now,
that's normally a hard-headed woman!

> It was the accent -- I'm a pushover for a Scottish accent.

It was the keeping his emotional reactions under control and his feelings
private -- which are, I realized when McCallum was suggested, very Lupin.
