Seems Dirk Benedict can't stay away from the UK lately! Not that that's a complaint. Following his successful tour in "Columbo" earlier this year, he's back in the raincoat again in 2011.
I don't know the full details of the tour, but I saw this poster today advertising the play arriving at Cheltenham in January next year.
The accompanying pamphlet reads:
"Just one more thing..."
Middle Ground Theatre Company presents PRESCRIPTION: MURDER, featuring the legendary Lieutenant Columbo in his first ever case.
Psychiatrist Roy Fleming and his wife are celebrating their anniversary, when he is called to deal with a female patient. On returning he has to soothe his angry wife with the promise of a vacation. When Fleming's wife is found dead, Columbo is brought in to investigate, and seeds of doubt are planted in his mind...
In this, Columbo's first-ever outing, we see the genius of the character made famous by Peter Falk as he pits his wits against a master criminal.
International star Dirk Benedict is known by millions for his roles as Templeton "Faceman" Peck in The A-Team and Lieutenant Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica.

One question springs to mind, though. Another lieutenant? When's Dirk finally going to get that promotion?!
