He was my favourite ever TV detective!

Mind you...he was no spring chicken.

Awwww

I loved Columbo 

I never tired of watching Columbo, no matter how many times I'd seen it, I was always up for a repeat showing

I always loved the way he said "just one more thing" and then solved the case

Great show - looking forward to loads of repeats now.

RIP Peter Falk

I'm sorry that he's passed over but I hated Columbo (the character not Peter Falk) with a passion 

i think he was the only tec programme that always showed the killer at the beginning-or am i wrong?

i take it you havent got the 'alibi' channel lol

lol thats what i didn't like about his films , i missed the suspense , R.IP  peter falk 

Awwww, I liked him   And I LOVE LOVE LOVE Columbo!    One of my fave programmes... we have 10 box sets of the films...  There's nothing better for me and hubby, than a cosy Sunday afternoon in when it's raining, with a box of choccies and a load of cappucino and a rollicking good Columbo film!  Also love MONK... similar to Columbo, but more modern.  What a sad loss. 

I've got millions of channels pirate, and I only ever watch the first 4

Columbo is actually on BBC1. BBC2, Universal, ITV1, ITV2, Channel 5, as well as alibi... so there's plenty of opportunity to see it. 

i remember when them shows started

we got an influx of american cop shows

and i cant remember all the names

madigan

kojak

columbo

macmillian and wife (that used to make me laugh)

shaft - i think?

anyone remember the names of the rest?

I just saw this on the news... very sad  Columbo was really a groundbreaker programme with the less than chic detective and as pirate said, for letting the audience see who the killer was at the start.....  R.I.P. Peter Falk

Petrochelli (sp), the one who lived in the caravan

Aww ,he was good age though,he came across very well on chat shows etc.  My late mum used to love Columbo,a different type of cop show compared to the slick,forensic stuff now on.

*Angryman

Cannon

yeah-i remember him-bit of a big beak?

lol-he was rotund?

And what about Police Woman (Angie Dickinson) and Ironside and Baretta 

Aww , he must have had dementia etc.

You're on a roll woman

baretta! he had a parrot or summat

didnt he go bonkers?

pepper anderson well..lol

hubby is just reading loads of stuff off the internet to me katty - it would seem so

McCloud  I used to babysit my nephew on a Saturday night and watched them all 

Oh now wait..didn't the actor that played "Baretta" end up getting done for murder in real life..I'll have to google.....scuttles off.

Yes Katty.. wasn't it his wife or ex or summat?!

Cockatoo 

Ahhh, Dennis Weaver - what was that film where he was driving and the lorry was chasing him? Brilliant film that?

Pepper Anderson was sex on legs... 

a REAL sexy lady

Duel 

DUEL!!!  REALLY good.  One of Steven Speilbergs early films I think....

Robert Blake (b. September 18, 1933) is an American actor who starred in the film In Cold Blood and the U.S. television series Baretta. In 2005, he was tried and acquitted for the 2001 murder of his wife, but on November 18, 2005, Blake was found liable in a California civil court for her wrongful death.

Correction he didn't "get done" he was aquitted...ahem!

Duel ... of course *slaps forehead*

Well done katty - another good sleuth moment

Who needs TV detectives when us lot are around

The whole storyline idea of DUEL, sounds boring, but the actual film was really tense and creepy...  American roads (out of the city,) are just long long long with few turn offs, and it's hard to lose somebody if they're hassling you.  That's why hijacks/carjacks are more common there than here. 

Actually it was Sprout and me that said DUEL, but we're not offended  

yes i heard that you like a cockatoo

*runs*
