    Did stay in bed and read some computer book.

    Sad really, fresh air would have been better.

    WHAT A BUNCH OF CRETINS, WHY NOT PUT THE PILOT EPISODES ON DISC ONE WHERE THEY LOGICALLY BELONG, THEN WE ARE MORE LIKELY TO WATCH THEM IN THEIR PROPER ORDER?
    Issues?

    I just checked () and the bottom of the box (it's the cigar box with the writing on the bottom, hence my absurd expectation of some cigars in it ) doesn't mention anything other than the audio tracks and subtitles for each season.

    Oh, and the overall feature running time of 86 hours 51 minutes. Going to take a while (nearly 87 hours to be exact ) to watch that lot.

    I have a feeling they'd still get me the usual tat even if I stopped buying stuff all year round.

    Anyway, when it comes to TV box sets I always buy them even if it's for others to wrap up for me, so I get the right ones and not some poor or incomplete version.

    Just opened my Columbo box set and I'm a little disappointed it doesn't have any Colombian or Cuban cigars in it. I was convinced they were using these box sets to smuggle them out of south America.
