During the merry-go-round scene the background song is "Marble Halls." I first heard it on the album "Shepherd Moons" by Enya. Lovely tune.

That was fun. I hope Scooter has some more tips that take us back down to Venice.

[@Cat-rc5bp]

Yay. Ben gets the last word in.

Interesting that during this era, a vendor of cigarettes was non derisively called a dealer. About a decade later that moniker got attached to anyone selling illegal drugs.

[@-oiiio-3993]

The term 'dealer' was, indeed, used derisively to describe peddlers of 'narcotics' and the evil _marijuana_ in several of these episodes as they also refer to "your dealer" of Fatima Cigarettes during ad breaks with no apparent sense of irony. After all, "It's _wise_ to smoke Fatima _long_ cigarettes."

Ah oh .. Chesterfields sneaking into the picture 😳

[@-oiiio-3993]

So fickle... poor Fatima.

Something off with this episode. Who is Bray? Where did he come from? All of a sudden they are looking for Bray. Also, after Al Daley is taken in for questioning and the briefcase and gun are found, that same evening Bray holds up another market iwith a briefcase.

11:50 that sounds like Jack Warden playing Al Daly.

I think you’re right….

What happened to Fatimas?

[@TerrickTerran]

they lost popularity and eventually stopped being made in the early 80s. The show got me curious at their history.

Liggett and Myers was so famous for having awful quality tobacco products. Wonder how many smokers they duped with this sponsorship.

[@heyoldman2003]

Start enjoying Fatima tomorrow? Really ? I would think they would want to start today 🚬

[@MitchEveleigh]

The show was on at night and most only had a radio at home not in their car. It would never occur to them that people would get them now, they’d get them the next day.

[@heyoldman2003]

That makes sense . And don’t buy a pack .. by a Carton 🚬

[@tacoheadmakenzie9311]

Well, I think that a pack only lasted Joe 2 or 3 hours.

Don't think it is Jack Warden
