Columbo likes the nightlife
As a great fan of Columbo (my attention span is not good enough for who-dunnits) I was very excited to see on Wednesday that there was a made-for-tv Columbo movie, Columbo likes the nightlife. I recorded it on my fancy new Sky+ box and can now give you a short review.It was very strange.
First, it was made in 2003. Columbo is about 250 years old. He also sports a tan which Viz would term a 'Nagasaki tan'.
Second, Columbo was investigating a murder in a 'rave' club -- cue lots of embarassing attempts to make the show trendy.
Other than that it was as usual brililant. Columbo put some ridiculous circumstantial evidence together, made some clever insights and found the murderer. Unlike most episodes his case didn't leave you thinking 'any good lawyer will get the defendant off' as he found the murder carrying the dead body.
Anyway I now see that there's a Columbo on every day the week after next. Expect blogging to be light.
