We take a break from McGoohan's most iconic work to examine the television that he'd be most known for in his later career: playing murderous villains in the murder mystery series COLUMBO, opposite Peter Falk as the scruffy, awkward, eponymous detective. Nic Tringali ( @nictringali.bsky.social ) joins us to talk about what makes the show work, how McGoohan's touch can be felt, and the price of cheese.

Episodes watched: Identity Crisis, Agenda for Murder, and Ashes to Ashes Next time: IT'S YOUR FUNERAL
