Richard Burton episode

didn't get a chance to see most of these, but in reruns I saw the episode with Richard Burton (as himself) who was travelling on a train--with Colt (who knew Burton from film work) and his prisoner in the next compartment; I was drop-jawed the whole hour.
It reminded me of the MST3K line: 'he must have been working for scotch at this point...'

'We all dream of being a child again - even the worst of us. Perhaps the worst most of all...'

It was a pretty funny episode though. The poor guy just wanted to read his script in peace and quiet but got stuck next to Colt and his quarry. lol

Lee asked Richard to do a cameo for The Fall Guy and Richard said why not a whole episode which of course they did. I read that Richard enjoyed the experience so much theat he came to the set when not needed. It was a great episode
