Definitely one of my earliest TV loves. "Pipe down, Piper!"
Really surprised we've never seen a gritty, dark reboot from the generation that was 5 when they first saw this.

Other than Doctor Who, Marine boy has to be one of my earliest memories of watching TV (largely because of the theme music).

@lizbethmyles.bsky.social @paulcornell.bsky.social I found the original "Machine Stops" as a free listen on Audible. Only 1 hr 35 min. Read by Carey Mulligan, no less. My memory of it was correct: it does stay on the woman, and the son's adventures outside are told to her when they meet up later.

Some prop maker put "Frank" on an ID card that was readable on screen, without the producers' or Falk's knowledge. Falk always maintained that Columbo's first name is "Lieutenant."

I'd like to think that Lt. Columbo would prevail but I think that his constant references to his wife would create the suspicion that she was also in there with him, leading to wrongful banishment.
