“I can’t be Columbo – I have to play golf”

BBC Radio Ulster - Sean Coyle, “I can’t be Columbo – I have to play golf”

Rumour has it Bing Crosby turned down Columbo.

“What about ye Chum” – but where does ‘chum’ come from? And did Bing Crosby really turn down Columbo?

A listener known as ‘Citizen’ is often greeted by his friends the refrain “What about ye chum”. He’s heard it three times this week alone, but where does it come from? There are also rumours that Bing Crosby was offered the role of Columbo – but turned it down because it might interfere with his golf.

Plus music from Pat Boone, Cher, Martha and Vandellas and Train.
