	The Beachcombers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		By which time the program had been syndicated around the world and was particularly popular in the United Kingdom and on PBS in the United States.
		East German television ran the series because it had so little controversy, as in one episode the whole episode was based on people arguing over who owned a wayward log.

		Beachcombers were among the first westerners to transmit the European worldview to Pacific islanders.
		Beachcombing was not what it was cracked up to be, at least not on Nauru in 1837.
		The beachcombers were sensitive to the local norms of behavior and behaved accordingly, and the natives welcomed beachcombers who were integrated as economic and political assets.

	BeachCombers PRODUCTION NOTES
		The New Beachcombers retains all the charm of a world removed from big city life, while addressing the inevitable changes that have occurred over time; changes like the demise of the beachcombing industry, the invasion of upmarket “weekenders,” eagerly snapping up waterfront cottages, and the encroachment of condo developments and retirement complexes.
		New Beachcombers star Deanna Milligan found that acting with an “audience” added an unexpected element of excitement to her role and Jackson Davies could barely make it from one end of the street to the other without being stopped by well-wishers and autograph hunters.
		The Beachcombers was remembered as an idyllic summer working camp by so many of the cast and crew that, once the word of the new show spread, it became an easy matter to entice alumni back to shoot the new show.

		Fourthly, these beachcombers were usually on the verge of doing something constructive, only to be distracted from their endeavours by the exotic diversions of the islands.
		Friendly, helpful and tolerant, the beachcombers in the final analysis, could be described as a talented bunch of likeable no hopers, trapped into perpetual indolence by the listless nirvana of the islands.
		The beachcombers had continued to watch from the verandah of the house, drinking their beers in silence.

	History of Beachcomber Surf and gun Club of Staten Island
		The Beachcomber Surf and Gun Club of Staten Island was formed in 1947 by a group of sportsmen with a common interest in hunting and fishing.
		By the late nineteen-fifties and sixties, with a membership of 115 sportsmen, the Beachcombers were one of the strongest voices for conservation and environmental concerns on Staten Island and the East Coast.
		As a club the Beachcombers strongly supported the establishing of the 200-mile fishing limit for foreign commercial fishing vessels.

	Gerussi, Bruno
		Although largely consistent with the family-adventure genre, Beachcombers ("The" was dropped from the title in 1988) stretched the limitations of the form sufficiently to allow the various characters to evolve and the series to stay fresh during its long history.
		Beachcombers was one of the few Canadian productions of its time to be widely exported, selling to as many as 34 countries at once, including Greece, Australia, Italy and Britain.
		This was true both in terms of its economic development--a relatively low budget product of the publicly subsidized CBC, as well as culturally, in the sense that it presented a relatively innocent, unglamourous group of characters and story lines, which distinguished the series from much of the U.S. prime-time programming distributed on Canadian airwaves.

		Beachcombers are still gathering the little plastic pieces, even some with sea-themes -- rafts, flippers and octopuses.
		What first got Williams interested in beachcombing 10 years ago were the dozens of varieties of drift seeds, also called sea beans, that he found while living in Florida.

	NIGHTSHIFT - Live Reviews - February 2002
		Whilst the local metal scene does still seem to be dominated by nu-metal and emo-core, none of tonight’s three strikingly different bands fall into either category.
		Maybe it is due to poor sound but the Beachcombers are a bit disappointing tonight.
		They seem to competing too much with the other bands’ heaviness, to the point of burying their off-the-wall lyrics and Mr Bungle-esque arrangements in a mess of noisy-punk thrash which, like the cow who plays guitar (we kid you not), only holds your attention for so long.

	The History of The Beachcombers MCC
		Unfortunately some members didn’t like the way things were run, and after a few fall outs, they headed off into the sunset to form their own club in September 1988, always to be known as the Beachcombers.
		The first thing they did was form some basic rules for running a club which were felt to be important guidelines.
		Although the clubs original meeting place in 1988 was a pub called the Beachcombers, this was not the reason for the clubs name, but more to do with everyone behaving irresponsibly on bikes across a west coast beach!

		CBC-TV As soon as you say it –The Beachcombers – the sound of a flute courses through your brain and before you know it that familiar pre-pajama theme song has you mentally winging across the surf looking for the perfect log.
		Still, there are those who think there is enough spirit of The Beachcombers left in the Canadian psyche to test the waters for bringing it to life again.
		With the passing of three of the main characters from the original series, The New Beachcombers could hardly be the same, which Davies obviously realizes.

		The BeachCOMBERS are gathering data that can be averaged over several years, and will serve to provide "normal," or background, rates of mortality.

		As a young teen, he joined a band called the Beachcombers and became part of Bob Druce's club circuit, which was the same circuit that the Who, then called the Detours, were on.
		It was apparent that Keith enjoyed surf music groups like the Beach Boys, as well as Jan and Dean, and continued to enjoy this style until the end of his life.
		He wanted his position to be settled so he strung them along for a bit and for a few weeks played in both the Beachcombers and the Who (by this time the group named changed to what we reconize).

	Pat Wayne and The Beachcombers
		Along with Keith Powell's Valets and Mike Sheridan's Nightriders, Pat Wayne and The Beachcombers were amongst the city's top live acts at that time.
		After the release of a final single with the Beachcombers, Pat Wayne decided to go solo and went on to record a further three singles in 1965 and 1966.
		The songs were well produced and some were exceptional, but by this time the record charts were dominated by "pop groups" and apart from isolated successes by those such as Tom Jones and Englebert Humperdink, the age of the solo performer seemed to have passed.

		This series was a successful addition to CBC television for nearly twenty years in it's Sunday night time slot, but unfortunately, the last season on the air saw the series lose that timeslot, and, consequently, most of it's viewers.
		Over the years, "The Beachcombers" featured a number of talented up-and-comings, the most notable of which was Canadian actor Cameron Bancroft, but it was the "lesser knowns" like Rae Brown (Molly Carmody), Jackson Davies (John Constable), Pat John (Jesse Jim), and Robert Clothier (Relic) that have stayed with us to this day.
		Unfortunately, the hopes that "The Beachcombers" fans may have had of a TV reunion were forever dashed with the tragic 1995 passing of 67-year-old Bruno Gerussi.
