Peter Falk a.k.a. Columbo

London, England


Was terribly sad to hear about the passing of Peter Falk. For years he was on the small screen as Columbo in that wonderful American television series. As a child of the television age, I would spend far too many hours watching Batman, The Man From UNCLE and repeats of Top Cat. Although I remember these programmes well and it brings back wonderful childhood memories,, could I have been a better student without them? Probably. How many of us can recollect a television programme from 25 or 30 years ago? You're more likely to remember a great Hollywood blockbuster like The Godfather. Wasted years - maybe.

Take a look at some great British television from the 1960's and early 70's

Columbo was so popular in Japan that the actor who voiced Columbo's line in Japanese was himself popular in Japan.
