For some reason, I remember getting the impression that this particular episode was filmed towards the earlier part of the season, even though it was broadcast towards the end. And I also enjoyed once again seeing the Anderson Estate show up once again, where the original Magnum, P.I. was filmed.

Before I put together my mini-review/review of "Cloth of Gold", I went back to a post you made earlier in this thread - it's stuck in my mind as it's like a checklist. One of the other episodes in the list is among the last four episodes I've got left to re-watch in the fourth season, the season finale "R&R&R", and remembered that you said it was among your favourite Hawaii Five-O episodes.

You've been very helpful with mentioning the name of the estate where the exteriors of Robin's Nest were filmed in the original Magnum, P.I.. Did they only film the exteriors of the Anderson Estate, and not the interiors? Hawaii Five-O definitely filmed inside the house there, whereas the interiors on Magnum, P.I. were done (I think) on studio sets. I could be wrong, but I'm sure I read it somewhere. The very last episode of Hawaii Five-O, "Woe to Wo Fat" filmed in some of the interiors of the Anderson Estate. This filming location has been used several times so far in what I've re-watched of Hawaii Five-O.

Regarding the original Magnum, P.I., from the discussion I've read on here for both the North American Blu-ray release by Mill Creek and the UK Blu-ray release by Fabulous Films, after weighing up the positives and negatives, I'm likely going to eventually get the UK release. Then when I've finished re-watching the twelfth and final season of Hawaii Five-O, I'll start re-watching Magnum, P.I.
