Sad news.

Columbo, Banacek and The Streets of San Franciso helped pass the time between breakfast (Neighbours) and Brunch (Countdown/Fifteen to One) that I should have spent in lectures.

RIP Peter. Never been a fan of Columbo, but I'll remember him for the Princess Bride.

And of course his somewhat del boy character in California Dolls (Or am I the only one who liked that film)

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

And I'll remember him for some superb films he made with John Cassavettes back in the 70's.

Sad news, I thought Colombo was excellent with some very good actors as guest stars.

btw, I saw an episode of the Mentallist recently that used the plot of the original Colombo pilot.
