Series 6 starts with a double-length episode filmed in England, with Magnum and Higgins arriving to prepare a castle for a reception thrown by Robin Masters. Whiles in the country, Magnum plans to see his old war buddy, but is shocked to discover he has died. But was it an accident?
This is a Hollywood view of England, with castles, posh folk, and ghosts, but the casting is spot on, with Francesca Annis, Julian Glover, and Peter Davison all featuring in key parts. There's the usual yanks in the UK jokes (driving on the wrong side of the road etc), but the charm of Magnum is the interactions of its characters; and while TC is largely sidelined in Morocco, there's still plenty of interplay between Higgins and Magnum, particularly in relation to Higgins refusal to see his family.
A good opening episode, and nice to see real overseas locations being used.
