Lieutenant Frank Columbo may be a Los Angeles mainstay, but we've managed to find a trilogy of Columbo episodes with strong South London links. Short Fuse (1972) features Herne Hill's Roddy McDowall, Dagger of the Mind (1972) sees Columbo take a trip to London, and Swan Song (1974) has Johnny Cash killing South Londoner Ida Lupino.
