Going Solo Again

Good news for The Man from U.N.C.L.E. fans: According to Bob Sassone at TV Squad, the frustrating legal fight over sending that popular 1960s TV series to DVD “might finally be over.” Sassone notes that, in a story in the Akron Beacon Journal, U.N.C.L.E. star Robert Vaughn says

that he is getting together with NCIS star David McCallum (he played Ilya Kuryakin on the 60s spy show, the partner to Vaughn’s Napoleon Solo) to record commentaries and extras for the set, which should be out by the end of this year.

Oddly, Vaughn had already recorded four hours of extras for the show, but then the legal fight delayed the release of those DVDs, so it looks like those extras will be lost forever.
