_This weekend is the 50th anniversary of the Beachcombers.
Voted the most popular CBC series ever, alive for 19 seasons.
Relic, Nick and Jesse above.
In nearly constant replay since 1972.
Bruno Gerussi, Robert Clothier and Pat John are gone, but the spirit of Canada's west coast lives on.
There are celebrations planned in Gibson's BC tomorrow by some cast, crew and friends of the series. Congrats to all.
Beachcombers episodes can be seen on the APTN cable channel starting Monday. (They're out of sequence and avoid the early years, when tech image and sound were fuzzy.)
Did the CBC even buy an anniversary card?
An episode below ....
