Ah Erin Gray; I never saw the the series you call Silver Spoons so I only remember her as Colonel Deering in Buck Rogers, another Glen Larson production.

In case no one else hasn't already noted this Katherine Cannon played Vela in the original series of Battlestar Galactica(episode "The Lost Warrior") which was produced by Don Bellisario 3-4 years before this episode was screened. As for this episode - while there were some good comedic and characte...

Returning to the original question I watched this during it's original run on ITV in the UK as a teenager.

It's being shown on a satellite channel at the moment(DMAX) although it only seems to be the first 3 seasons on show.

This episode was quite/fairly good in my opinion although it did benefit from Nancy DeCarl's presence in full icey blonde mode, as she played in Buck Rogers. The story wasn't the most intriguing and there was no particularly clever twist either but the character development made up for some deficien...

I liked this episode and I'd a given it a 7.5 if the poll was working. In particular Magnum's empathetic approach to Nick was quite moving.

The plot twist worked well for me too, I had the grumpy cop as the culprit.

Lots of bikined bodies around to add to the visual appeal of the episode.

I thought this was one of the better comedic episodes and the interplay between the main characters was top notch. As Jay-Firestorm has pointed out the shot of “Leeds” is misleading as it is a pretty grim, industrial and run down place on the whole however I assume the establishing shot was trying t...

Better to go obvious in a mainstream TV show. Especially when it's the only time in the whole series it is featured as a theme.
Yeah, I suppose so, I would have liked The Rites of Spring or something a bit more off beat.

Talking of accents, I emailed this site a while back to point out a flub – or at the very least an inconsistency – with John Hillerman’s English accent in this episode. When Higgins is about to leave the estate at the beginning of the episode he opens the window in his cab/limo and tells Magnum that...

It's funny you should say that Donuts ensucrats as I thought most of the outdoor shots looked quite dull and overcast. I assumed there was something wrong with my TV's brightness settings, but now having read what you said I agree about the picture quality. Also, why couldn't they have picked a diff...

Hello all, I have a feeling this episode was written after a network exec said “Hey, how about having a story about a ballerina needing a bodyguard?” Then the poor writers were supposed to come up with something in about 24 hours, and it shows – the quality of the writing is lamentable sadly and tho...
