Partners in Crime is an album by American singer-songwriter and musician Rupert Holmes, includes the hits " Him" and " Escape (The Piña Colada Song)", the latter of which was the Billboard #1 hit of December 1979 and January 1980; it was the only single to hold the #1 position in both years and in different decades.

The Infinity catalog had been absorbed by MCA at the time the latter single was released.

"Partners In Crime" was the Estonian entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 2007, composed by Henrik Sal-Saller and written by Berit Veiber and sung in English by Gerli Padar.

More than for the song, the media attention on the Estonian delegation was for the fact that Gerli's brother, Tanel Padar, had won the Eurovision Song Contest a few years before. In a number of interviews and press conferences, Gerli was asked to comment on the matter.

On the night of the semi-final of the contest the song was performed 23rd (following Hungary's Magdi Rúzsa with " Unsubstantial Blues" and preceding Belgium's The KMG's with " Love Power"). At the close of the voting it had received 33 points, placing 22nd of 28 countries competing, failing to pass to the final.

Gerli Padar was supported on stage by two backing singers Johanna Münter and Mirjam Mesak, and three male dancers with whom Gerli danced throughout the song.

The song was succeeded as Estonian representative at the 2008 contest by Kreisiraadio with " Leto svet".

The Agatha Christie short story collection Partners in Crime was adapted as a 13-part radio serial broadcast on the BBC's London, Midland and Scottish Home Service and transmitted from Monday, April 13 to Monday, July 13, 1953. The half-hour episodes starred Richard Attenborough as Tommy and Sheila Sim as Tuppence, taking advantage of the actor's then-current starring roles in The Mousetrap.

"Partners in Crime" is the first episode of the fourth series of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It was broadcast on BBC One on 5 April 2008. The episode reintroduced comedian Catherine Tate as Donna Noble, who had previously appeared in " The Runaway Bride". Donna and the Doctor ( David Tennant) meet while separately investigating Adipose Industries, a company that has created a revolutionary diet pill. Together, they attempt to stop the death of thousands of people in London after the head of the company, the alien Miss Foster ( Sarah Lancashire), creates the Adipose, short white aliens made from human body fat.

The episode's alien creatures, the Adipose, were created using the software MASSIVE, commonly used for crowd sequences in fantasy and science fiction films. The episode is stylistically different from other Doctor Who episodes; "Partners in Crime" has no clear antagonist, and the creatures are in a different style to Doctor Whos regular "big [and] scary" monsters.

"Partners in Crime" features the return of three supporting characters: Jacqueline King reprises her role as Sylvia Noble from " The Runaway Bride"; Bernard Cribbins reprises his role as Wilfred Mott from " Voyage of the Damned", to replace the character of Geoff Noble after actor Howard Attfield died; and Billie Piper briefly reprises her role as Rose Tyler for the first time since the second series' finale " Doomsday", in a scene that was not included in preview showings.

The episode received many positive reviews. Most critics liked the special effects used to create the Adipose. Critics also praised Tate's subdued acting in comparison to "The Runaway Bride"; Donna was changed from a "shouting fishwife" to a more emotional person when she became a full-time companion. Critics' opinions were split over the episode's plot: opinion on executive producer Russell T Davies' writing ranged from "pure pleasure" to "the back of a fag packet".
