One of my favourite television shows during my teens and twenties was Magnum P.I. It was broadcast at 7pm on Saturday night and the whole family would watch it together. The relationship between Thomas Magnum (Tom Selleck) and Jonathan Quayle Higgins III (John Hillerman) was my favourite part of the show. And of course Zeus and Apollo!
I was sad to hear of the death of John Hillerman the day before yesterday. He was 84. I guess all the stars of those wonderful detective series from the 1970s and early 1980s will be passing away in greater numbers from now on. I may be biased but I think that was the best era for detective shows. They don’t make them like that anymore!
