Notes ∞
-
I recognize Robert Vaughn from.. I don’t know where. Certainly not any recent work. Maybe I saw some old movie(s) of his.
- I’m somewhat gay for him. That man has a chin strong enough for presidency.
-
I recognize David McCallum, strangely enough, from an episode of Babylon 5 – (1994 show) and later from NCIS.

The Pilot ∞
I have not seen the pilot.
- It was shot in colour.
- It was cut down, modified and broadcast in black and white as first episode of this series.
-
It was expanded to make the To Trap a Spy – (1964 movie).
s01e01 – 1964-09-22 – The Vulcan Affair ∞
This is the cut-down and modified version of the pilot episode. The pilot episode was expanded to make To Trap a Spy – (1964 movie). You are far better off watching that movie than this episode because it is expanded and is in colour.
