The Beachcombers
The Beachcombers was a popular Canadian television program broadcast in the 1970s and the 1980s on CBC. Set in Gibsons, British Columbia, the show 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 movie The New Beachcombers, produced in 2002. The café featured in the show, "Molly's Reach", still survives today and is a local attraction in Gibsons.
