Just a little FYI. Roy Dotrice, who played Harcourt, had a daughter named Michele who was married to the great Edward Woodward of Breaker Morant (among many other things). https://i.imgur.com/qa5qQ0p.gif As a boy who grew up in '70s England Michele Dotrice was best known to me as the wife of haples...

On the season 1 DVD of Knight Rider there's a commentary track for the pilot episode with Glen Larson and Hasselhoff. Larson says "It was either you or Don. We went with you because you were cheaper" . :lol: Larson did a lot of ribbing at the Hoff who took it all in stride and with good humor. It's...

Interestingly Don Johnson was the original choice for the Michael Knight role in Knight Rider.

He was also the studios choice for the Dirk Benedict role (Starbuck) in another Glen Larson production, the original Battlestar Galactica.

I agree about Higgins. In many respects, despite his classism, he is among the most noble characters on the show. This is not the first time we have seen him involved in charitable work. Yes indeed, I thought the same thing about Fall vs. Autumn and think you're right about the Britishness of it. A...

For want of not knowing where to post a couple of relevant(I hope) pictures, one is of the entrance to Marylebone Station, London as seen in Deja Vu (episode 6.1) and the other is of me next to a statue of Captain Cook, who is the explorer of the Cook and Sandwich Islands referred to by Higgins, in ...

But.....it also marks the place where we just have to go back and put in PDETSIH and start all over!

I would like to be fully able to comment on this episode but the channel showing it here in the UK, ITV4, decided to finish it’s run of Magnum PI with Resolutions Part 1 – if proof were ever need of the idiocy of TV channel programmers. So annoying, so I had to come here to moan about it ! So 8 yea...

I agree generally, although it took a while for Manetti to get the Rick character, I think. Manetti even commented that after the “Bogey Rick” character from the pilot was dropped, along with the night club, he wasn’t given much if any direction on the character. Yeah you're right there - of the ma...

charybdis, Thank you - or should I say 'ta' - for your most enlightening post! I'm so glad an excellent actor like John Hillerman put in the hard work getting the accent right. By the way I think Hillerman would have been a hoot as yet another of Higgin's half brothers, an ocker from beyond the bla...

The Great Hawaiian Adventure Company (8.9) exceeded all expectations! From exhilarating hikes to breathtaking sunsets, every moment was filled with wonder. The guides were knowledgeable and ensured our safety while immersing us in Hawaiian culture. story saver The accommodations were top-notch, and...

charybdis, May I ask your opinion of John Hillerman's accent, does it work for you as an Englishman? Or do you sometimes hear his Texas accent come through? I always thought John did a terrific job, but hey I'm from Jersey and have enough problems speaking the mother tongue myself. Not the Isle of ...

My first viewing of this episode and it was ok; I quite like Luther Gillis and his smart repartee yet I found the plot a bit clumsy and disjointed. I noticed further up this thread some one mentioned a Malcolm McDonald as “Super Mac”. Now I immediately thought of the Arsenal (an English football, so...

Ugh - I thought after The love that lies it couldn’t get any worse but this one stunk to high heaven. Perhaps I’m getting increasingly curmudgeonly in my old age as I didn’t enjoy any of this one. Maybe a twenty something me would have liked this when it originally aired, but today ? Just, no, no, no!

Unfinished Business (8.8)is a captivating exploration of human connection and redemption. The intricate storyline keeps you on the edge, while the stellar performances elevate the emotional depth. Each character's journey feels authentic, story saver weaving together themes of forgiveness and secon...

My first watch of this some 36 years after it aired and I agree this must be a top 10 episode. The tone starts off relatively light, with TM pulling a shopping trip out of Higgins by a bit of bait and switch and then things going quickly south at the trial and then the jolt of the video. Selleck sh...
