If you thought having the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew meet up with some of TV's best known sleuths of the period in season 2 was novel, it was topped in season 3 when Frank & Joe (Parker Stevenson & Shaun Cassidy) travel to London when their father (Edmund Gilbert, no relation to ye scribe) disappears while on a case yet again.
While Patrick Macnee's character wasn't readily identified, there is a certain bowler hat and a umbrella/cane that also has a sword hidden inside, if you recall The Avengers back in the 60's. Known simply as Sir John, he lends the brothers a hand, along with Pernell Roberts (ex-Bonanza, a year away from Trapper John, MD). Radio & film star Dana Andrews (ex-I Was a Communist For The FBI) also appears in "Assault on The Tower":

"An episode or two ..."?
By 1978, Patrick Macnee had permanently emigrated to the USA, ultimately becoming a naturalized citizen.
On Galactica, Macnee provided the weekly narration at the opening credits, as well as character voices throughout the series.
I know Patrick Macnee had guested on Galactica. A 2-parter, IIRC. I think it was actually Lorne Greene (Adama) who did the narration at the end of the episode, encapsulating the fleet's journey to Earth.
