    Yes, great news.

    I was interviewed by David regarding the unproduced episodes A BRAVE HEART and IF YOU CAN KEEP YOUR HEAD. Expect chapters on them.

    Glad to hear it. I'll be looking forward to those two in particular. :)

    So my birthday is tomorrow and my fiancee just gave me an autographed picture of Peter Falk as Columbo for my birthday. :)

    Happy belated to you @ToTheRight that is a wonderful present.

    It might inspire me to pop in a DVD tonight and see Mr. Falk in action.

    What is everyone's go-to episode that they can re-watch as a favourite. I was thinking of popping in Negative Reaction. Two of my favourite actors and Mr. Van Dyke in the uncommon role as a villain.

    Thanks, @thedove. Negative Reaction is definitely one of my favorites. I also love Swan Song, and Murder Under Glass. So many great episodes in this series.

    I am shocked that Walter thought William wouldn't remember him outside of the context of Star Trek movies. I can't remember was Walter in the first Shatner appearance or the second?

    Yes, it does sound a bit strange but maybe Shatner was just being coy? Walter Koenig played a character called Sergeant Johnson in the first Shatner episode, Fade In To Murder (1976).

    I'm a bit late here, but here's a video from Overly Sarcastic Productions about Tricksters Heroes. Columbo is mentioned. I never thought of him as a trickster, but it makes sense.

    Sad to hear of the death of Dabney Coleman (aged 92) who played lawyer Hugh Creighton in Columbo and the Murder of a Rock Star (1991). He had earlier appeared as Sergeant Murray in Double Shock (1973). I thought he gave a great performance as Hugh Creighton.

    Saw Dabney Coleman in an episode of NCIS just a couple of days ago. I don't think I've ever seen Murder of a Rock Star, but I remember him from Double Shock.

    The role I remember him most for, is probably Commodore Louis Kaestner in Boardwalk Empire.

    RIP Dabney Coleman. I won't write anything detailed because I feel it wouldn't do him justice. Loved the guy.
