      The Cork Echo is still on sale to this day. an actually still has paper boys (men) that sell the newspapers by shouting Echo every so often it's a tradition..... oh take it easy on 90s Columbo unless you were there, it was an absolute pleasure to see him back on the screen again..... and my favourite episode of Columbo comes from the 89.....murder smoke and mirrors..... so stick that in your pipe and smoke it..... or light a cigar....🤣

      I lived in London from '94 - 11. Didn't know New Scotland Yard moved? Can't get over how empty the streets were back then. Liked Columbo throwing away wrapper in the bin then complimenting on the fish and chips without seeing them. The house is very LA. Do visit Blighty, not just London. It's an awesome place. I was hoping you could tell us about the pub, whether or not it was real.

    I did not know that some people considered this one ‘the worst episode’. I though The Last Salute of The Commodore and No Time To Die were tied for that particular title. I for one thoroughly enjoy this one. Since Columbo takes a lot of inspiration from ‘British Drawing Room Mysteries’ I love that he actually goes to the UK and works with Scotland Yard at some point. I think of it more as the series paying homage to one of it’s roots rather than a gimmick episode. But then again, there isn’t a Columbo episode that I actually dislike and if there was an episode were he went to Japan I’m sure I would love it too even if it made no sens for him to go there! In any case, thank you for another great video and sound life advice; ‘never blackmail a murderer’ I will most definitely try to remember that moving forward!

      No Time To Die is the undisputed worst. The people who hate Commodore just seem to hate the whodunnit aspect and I'm not sure why. But both most hated episodes make the crucial mistake of changing the formula, the undercover episode gets a lot of bad reviews too for the same reason.

    I'm only half through your deep dive. I had to stop to comment. Your attention to detail is simply incredible. When I saw the two Jaguars with different whitewall tires, I commented to my son.... About a minute later you mentioned it. As a car guy, I've always greatly appreciated your naming specific vehicles and models from the pertinent eras. It only adds to your credibility. Your research and explanation of the Macbeth plot and dialogue in relation to the story made me appreciate this episode that much more... Keep up the good work! Can't wait to watch the rest. It's almost better (dare I say it!?) than watching the episode itself.

    "it hasn't changed since father's day" means " the club is stuffy because it has not changed since the day (time) that my father was a member", or "it hasn't changed since [my] father's [time of membership]" indicating that the club has been there a very long time and is steeped in unchanging English tradition.

      @@WatchitforDays When Lilly Stanhope threw the cold cream jar across at 7:09, this was partially why I had a dream that I was on top of a museum structure, trying to reach balloons on the ceiling on the other side of a running Envirofan 56" industrial ceiling fan running at 240-300 rpm, and this was 1/3 of a nightmare because one of my moms attempted to throw whatever it was at me to get my attention, but I crouched under it right when I saw the shadow of it moving on the wall, and therefore my mom accidentally threw it at the drywall and got in trouble for damaging the drywall, even though this unknown object didn't break or break anything else downstairs when it fell down, and even though my mom apologized to the staff for attempting to throw whatever this was at me and unintentionally breaking the drywall and paid the staff for the drywall damage, they still kicked her out of the museum (since when you do terrible stuff like this, and even after you pay for the damage, even if you're an adult, they won't let you come in again, just as with what happens in person since they'll worry that you'll (try to) do terrible stuff like that (on purpose) again).
      Although I rarely have 2% strange dreams with 98% of everything else being in-person, this may sound a little bit strange because after the 1/3rd of this nightmare about my mom, 2/3rds of the rest of this dream looked fun to remember because in order to get off the structure and reach the balloons at the same time, in these 2/3rds of this dream, I jumped off the structure and used a hover hat to fly under the ceiling fan and over to the other side. The balloons were in-person, so they didn't let me descend, and therefore rather than shutting the hover hat propeller off, I slowed the hover hat propeller down a little bit, and then shut the hover hat propeller off when I landed. I was happy to have the balloons, and on the final 3rd part of this dream, the staff were impressed when I got the balloons and landed with the hover hat in this dream, and they also supervised me due to my mom being kicked out due to the drywall damage being her responsibility, but I was still happy in this dream. With this 2% strange stuff I rarely dreamed about, like the hover hat, even though 98% of everything else was in-person in these same dreams, I started to think these 2/3rds of this dream were (partially) due to what I remember having when I was little, although they rarely become why I dream about stuff like this, but I still get the idea of what happens in person outside these dreams.
      Even though 2% of this dream detail was strange, there were still no automated sounds or illusion designs of stuff not being what happens in person. For example, in this dream, 1 - there wasn't any automated flinging sound for whatever one of my moms accidentally threw at the drywall or motion illusion tail (that almost looks identical to a rocket flame) that would have followed whatever this object was, 2 - there weren't any collision stars or automated cymbal sounds (for where this unknown object hit the drywall), in the 2/3rds of the fun details of this dream, 3 - there was no automated dropping sound (for when I jumped off the structure), 4 - there were also no automated rushing sounds for when I used the hover hat to fly under the Envirofan, 5 - motion illusion tails (that almost look identical to rocket flames) that would have followed my fast motion, or 6 - wind gust swirls (that almost look like icons that some modern fan or air conditioner controls would have) under the running ceiling fan because of 98% of everything else being regular. All of my other dreams I had with 2% strange stuff still had 98% regular details and 100% natural sounds and voices.

    I just discovered your channel and LOVE it! Immediately became a patron.
    Something that may have gone unnoticed is at around 1:06:00 Columbo notes that that Big Ben is a minute slow to which Inspector Dirk replies "We must put another penny on the governor."
    Big Ben has a mechanical clock and chime movement and uses a pendulum as a mechanical governor. I found this on a Big Ben website:
    "Famously, the adjustments to compensate for variations in the clock's rate are made by placing pennies on a convenient ledge on the pendulum behind the clock, thus altering the position of its centre of gravity."
    (I haven't made it through all the comments so I'm not sure if this has been noted before.)

    I'm having such fun with your episodes, because I had so much fun rewatching the series a few years ago. My Facebook memories are replete with wry observations like the ones you make, and you make me laugh, which I really appreciate. A pronunciation note for you: at 14:32 you read out the headline on the cover of True Detective, and pronounce "coed" as "cooed". But it's a two-syllable word: co-ed, as in co-educational; back in the 70s, the media (especially the sensational media) commonly referred to female college students as "coeds". I rejoice that you've never encountered this usage before; it met its deserved demise before the 1970s were over, I think.
    Gentlemen's clubs: When Dirk says the club "hasn't changed since Father's day", he means it hasn't changed since his own father was a member. Given that Dirk is probably in his fifties, his father was probably a member at least that long ago, and is probably the reason Dirk is now a member. Dirk was probably introduced to the place as a teenager, and put up for membership when he came of age. He and his father were probably both members at the same time, until his father died or became unable to go to his club.

    This has evolved to become one of my favourite episodes over the years. Notwithstanding the Dick Van Dyke school of English character acting, ropey murders and the discrepancies in US for England filming but everyone must have had a great time hamming it up and that does not detract from the entertainment.
    Its charm for me largely comes from the archaic portrayal of Britain policing which in 72 seems 40 years out of date. Hard to fathom that the Sweeney was only two years away.

      Lots of the show could been 1930s or 1950s. But some things from this 70s era are still quite true: the police commissioner will be appointed by the King on advice from the government. And the King will have knighted them as befits a spectacularly powerful and high office with onerous levels of responsibility: the London police commissioner is not above the fray. As in the 1970s, counter-terrorism is still a big deal, everyday, but that battle is still fought mostly without guns, without force, by using intelligence-gathering and 'by consent' (the police don't use guns mostly so the villains don't use guns, mostly). It is kinda quaint but it keeps the death toll quaintly down. They no longer have those 1970s sideburns and moustaches, at least...
