The BeachcombersThe Beachcombers was a popular Canadian television program broadcast on CBC. The series ran from 1972 to 1989 and is the longest-running dramatic series ever made for Canadian television. Set in Gibsons, British Columbia, the comedy-drama starred Bruno Gerussi as a log salvager, and Robert Clothier as his clumsy rival. The show was an active window into Canada's multicultural heritage. Gerussi's character, Nick Adonidas, was a Greek, and Clothier's character, "Relic", had a Welsh ancestry. Other characters included Gerussi's native partner, played by Pat Johns, and an RCMP constable, played by Jackson Davies. Davies was the only original cast member who starred in the show's follow-up TV movie The New Beachcombers, produced in 2002, which was an unsuccessful pilot for a revived series although there was a follow up sequel, A Beachcomber's Christmas. The caf featured in the show, "Molly's Reach", still survives today and is a local attraction in Gibsons. External link Beachcombers, The
