I used to love Columbo as a kid, yes I know the story was pretty much the same every episode.. We know the murderer from the start, the disheveled Columbo appears and works it out pretty soon too, we watch the criminal's reaction to the ongoing investigation as the intrusive but always polite presence of Columbo increases. The killer often "helps" Columbo with his investigation, eventually discovering too late that the Lieutenant is not nearly as simple-minded as he appears.
And now here at The Theatre Royal in Winchester we have a play version of the first ever episode of Colombo "Prescription Murder" - my opinion? It was great fun!
Columbo was one of my alltime favorites!
ReplyDeleteNice photos. I bet it was fun to see.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I watched Columbo.
ReplyDeleteThey still show lots of re-runs over here
ReplyDeleteHe was a big favorite with me. I am looking at the first season of The Rockford Files at the moment, another great show.
ReplyDeleteI remember the Rockford Files too - he had an telephone answering machine didn't he? That seemed amazing technology in those days!
