    A star of stage and screen but best remembered for Department S. I think UK Drama need to repeat some of those because I don't remember anything about the programme, other than the Jason King moustache!

    The Persuaders has recently enjoyed a re-run, so let's have some Jason King :)

    Apparently wasn't allowed into town to open Woolies because police couldn't guarantee his safety from hordes of screaming women

    SYP never change

    I've been watching the odd episode of persuaders. I loved the theme music when I was a kid.

    Watched an original startrek yesterday.

    Acting has come on a lot since those days lol

    I haven't see them for a long time but going from memory he gave a couple of good performances as Peter the Painter in the 'Siege of Sidney St,' and a corrupt politician in the Ray Winstone film 'Tank Malling'

    My memory of Peter Wyngarde was seeing him in The Merchant of Venice as Shylock , it was a school trip . Unfortunately he’d just been done for a lewd act in a toilet and it was all over the news When it got to the line where Shylock is demanding his pound of flesh , hundreds of spotty teenaged started jeering . To be fair to him he stopped for a few seconds , laughed then carried on . RIP

    Could never get into the later star trek series. I just love the 60s and 70s stuff.
