COLUMBO MARSHALLED
Rodney Marshall (son of ITC script writer Roger Marshall) will be a familiar name to readers, following the publication of his wonderful guides to 'Danger Man' (available HERE).
Rodney now has a new book available (cover left) all about the fascinating topic of Patrick McGoohan's involvement with Peter Falk and the 'Columbo' TV series entitled; "In the Destructive Element Immerse".
Writes Rodney; "(the book) explores the remarkable rapport which instantly and magically sparked, and then developed and deepened, between Peter Falk and Patrick McGoohan on the Columbo television series. Two mavericks who had fought against the ‘system' throughout their working lives, and finally found a secret sharer, a like-minded, rebellious collaborator to work with, and have fun with, on-and-off, for a quarter of a century. Two actors who refused to accept the studio's sausage factory, assembly-line approach to churning out television shows and who took the time to craft genuine TV magic. By exploring all six episodes which they worked on together, and drawing on their own recollections, this book seeks to explain how two ‘rebels with a cause' sought to push the envelope on one of the most popular series in the history of television.
