Mat, do you happen to know why the BBC don't show Columbo, maybe something about broadcasting rights??? I am sure they used to years ago, unless I am remembering wrongly.

Must be due to broadcasting rights. Maybe since five show them on terrestrial then the beeb cant. However shows are jumping all over the channels. I remember when Quincy was showing on bbc1 now its on ITV, doesnt make it watchable tho.

Yeah Columbo was on BBC 1 back in the early 90's if i remember correctly. I am convinced that they showed troubled waters and Columbo goes to the guillotine as they are the first episodes i remember watching as a kid and loving them. Must have been from between 14:10 - 16:00 as the kids programmes started at about ten past 4 and neighbours was in the same place as it is now quarter to 2. Those were the days. When the flinstones was shown at 5:35pm and the A-team was on at 5:45 on saturday. Rushed home from the football to watch it.

God bless,

Matthew

I remember it was on bbc two in the afternoons until quite recently, maybe two or three years ago. And Mat, you are right about the **** on ITV.
