The Beachcombers are Back!

Since we moved to Powell River, Wayne and I've heard about a regional sitcom shot in Gibsons called The Beachcombers. It was a huge hit across the country and was Canada's longest running TV series. We tried to purchase a DVD of the shows, but they weren't available. All we could find were a few clips on YouTube.



Then lo and behold, there it was on Vision TV. It's currently running from Monday through Friday at 1:30 in the afternoon (4:30 ET). It may not be the best time, but maybe you can record it for later viewing.

The show ran for 19 years and was about a log salvager (a beachcomber) who lived and worked around Gibsons BC. Prominent in the show was Molly's Reach, a restaurant on the Gibsons waterfront. You can still go there for a meal and see their boat the Persephone out front. You can even join their Facebook group.

Hope you get a chance to see this little bit of Coastal BC history (again)! -- Margy
