Columbo in London! And it's not just a novelty item, it's really well done. I think I enjoyed seeing Columbo interact with London more than the detective narrative itself.

A creepy butler, Thespian perps chewing the scenery and Columbo rushing around London photographing it. Good fun episode.

Great cast, great interplay with the MacBeth play within the play and great psychology. Trust Columbo to spot the flaw with the couples alibi was that it was perfect!

This episode spends a lot of time with the villains and not so much with Columbo. Their hijinks kept me engaged throughout. Columbo fumbled about London in awe and interacted with the old world variety of rich bastards, the posh kind. Sadly Columbo relies on fake evidence to solve this case, which although it is a legal method police use, the practice has historically led to false confessions.
