Always a delight to see such a wonderful character actor!

Peter Falk is pretty good, too.

Wow at the cast list for Troubled Waters. Even my very face-blind partner was all "Hey, I know that actor!"

The lounge band riffing on forever is also very true to my childhood memories of cheap 1970s holiday camp entertainment.

Patrick McGoohan and Leslie Nielsen? Then Ricardo Montalban?

Season 5 is delivering the guest star goods.

Patrick McGoohan directing you say? Well we reached Last Salute of the Commodore last night and only as the title card flashed did I recall it's famed reputation.

Surely my personal bias towards outliers and strange ducks is enough to embrace this episode?

T'isnt.

Woof, what a stinker. McGoohan's love of indulgent character quirks suit the context of Portmeirion's heightened theatrical surreality, but they don't fit not here. And definitely not at this episode and scene length. Then Columbo's personality is so off-kilter that's he's frankly annoying.

Not one to revisit.

Don't go out on a low note when you can go out high in a row boat?
