    Delicate subject matter but another decent episode

    It's always a delicate topic for escapist television, so I was surprised that "Magnum P.I." had an IRA-themed in an early Season 1 episode. ("Miami Vice" kicked off the third season with an equally controversial episode.)

    The British SAS are represented by an unlikeable bunch of characters to bring some balance to the proceedings.

    The beautiful Robin Dearden plays the delightful flight attendant, Mandy, who takes a shine to Magnum.

    Good but not great.

    7 out of 10.
