Good question. Also, how did he get the spear onboard the plane from London?
Good episode however. I enjoy this one each time I watch it.
Flub Spot: Notice how when Magnum looks out of his bedroom window to talk to Clutterbuck and Rick that he is looking across the broadside of the property. Compare this to the Distant Relative episode when TM looks out of the same window and sees Higgins near the seawall on the backside of the main house.

Pretty sure this is my favorite episode......Picked up this little jewell on ebay for $10 last Thursday...Had it in my hand on Monday...works!!
Not sure if the wife will let me keep it on the nightstand, though....But it sure looks good!
Opened the package and my 7 year old yelled "Magnum's game! Yea!"

This episode felt... weird. THe Mau-Mau stuff anyway, I loved all the scenes where Magnum was sharing his guest house with Higgins 
The ending felt a bit abrupt though. Thankfully, the episode ended on a good note with TC hiring Magnum for a full 5 seconds to find his woman and Higgins playing the gameMagnum got from Rick. Good stuff!

I love this episode...and it's one of my all-time favorites! The plot is superb, and the action and suspense is captivating! You truly believe there's a Mau Mau after Higgins and Ian McShane's character.
I love the spear coming through the door at Ian McShane at the beginning...it makes me jump everytime, even though I know it's coming! LOL!
I also love the humor between Magnum and Higgins in this one...the gorilla mask, the whoopie cushion Higgins sits on, Magnum purposely making a mess of his house to irritate Higgins, and the Pac Man game--that brings back memories!
But, I also love the care, respect, and even love Magnum, T.C., and Rick truly have for Higgins by going to all that trouble to try and help save his life! I love the plot twist at the end--when who the real Mau Mau is, is finally revealed!
The title is somewhat oddly named, however. I suppose it could refer to race (the black or African Mau Mau coming after the white Brits for what they did to the African Village back in '53), or perhaps it refers more to "good" and "bad" (black--meaning the horror and massacure the Brits did to that African village, and white--the innocent villagers that were brutally butchered or raped by the out of control Brits)? Whatever the case, "Black On White" is one of the best and most suspenseful of the series! Love it everytime!
