Forget spandex-clad superheroes. The most ambitious crossover event in fictional history already happened, airing in two parts on November 19 and November 23 in 1986.
That's right — we're talking about the two crossover episodes of Magnum, P.I. and Murder, She Wrote.
Thomas Magnum, as played by Tom Selleck, is an affable private investigator living a luxurious lifestyle in Hawaii. Angela Lansbury's amateur sleuth Jessica Fletcher is a mystery writer with a knack for getting involved in non-fiction crimes. Both of these gumshoes called CBS home, and the rest is mystery history.
Listen to Áine and Kevin join forces to talk about 1980s cheese, bathrobe-clad chats, and the challenges of combining two different styles of televised detecting.
