He is the son of the Popsicle ManWho is Helmut? I feel like I missed an update at some point.
He is the son of the Popsicle Man
With the situation in Britain, "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" will probably not be made and if "Zulu" exists, it will almost certainly be much inferior. That's more chilling than the fate of any would have been Nazi.
I don't follow. I'm genuinely confused.
it was from the first thread when after Kat came back from her SKA mission in the Ukraine, Joseph Goebbels ITTL an editor of a Right Wing newspaper ITTL started to write very salacious and libelous stories about Kat and her father Otto arraigned for Goebbels to be trapped in passenger rail car by himself on an isolated rail siding on the coldest night of the year to freeze to death hence "Popsicle Man".I don't follow. I'm genuinely confused.
I can see Zulu being an even bigger production and success than OTL. Given the current state of affairs in the Empire. Be a huge progaganda/PR coup. You know all stiff upper lip and beating the ghastly barbarians sort of thing.
I either said at the time, or just thought it:--snip--
Sorry, but I cannot see any mention here that Bing played Columbo. Certainly they may have wanted him. But in OTL the stage play had Thomas Mitchell as Columbo. Why do you suggest Bing took the part in TTL movie?An early appearance by Det. Columbia is quite interesting, the telemovie in this post was IOTL a play but ITTL it becomes a movie.
When Columbo became part of the NBC rotating Mysteries, the producers wanted Bing Crosby to play Colombo then went to Peter Falk after Crosby turned themm down.
So a butterfly in this case is not only does Bing Crosby plays Columbo his production company produces the series of movies, Der Bingle always knew how to make money, his company IOTL brought magnetic audio tape to the United States from Germany after WW II and later they developed the first video magnetic tape.

Probably a worse film overall, but better recieved in parts of the US and Great Britain.One of the things that makes Zulu work as a film is the degree of sympathy and empathy that the Zulus get and the sense of mutual respect and honorable enemy. Without that, it'd be a much worse film and lose a lot of the depth. Imagine if they cut out the singing scene, made Pvt. Hook (correctly) upright and pious, and did not show the cost of the battle and infused the whole thing with a trumphant Ra-ra ethos. It may get a decent box-office, but it'd be a forgettable piece of extruded celluloid product.
Sorry, I read it as a butterfly had actually happened with Bing playing the role ITTL, rather than could happen.It doesn’t say anything about Bing Crosby playing Columbo, what my point was that if ITTL Crosby played Columbo maybe his production company would have made it, IOTL Peter Falk was cast in the 1968 pilot movie, so an earlier telemovie could has casted Crosby.
This is just one of the many butterflies that this timeline has.
