Ivor Thirst 120 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Jason King (with that long hair and droopy moustache - really looks dated now - but the footballers still wear the ridiculous large knotted ties) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barclaycon 569 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Ha. Jason King. Legendary ! Started off as a character in Department S. The image was supposed to be that of a mature ladies man with remarkable style and an incredible sense of fashion. Hysterical really. Peter Wyngarde (or Cyril Goldbert to use his real name) was wearing a full length wig (rather like a hat) and his rather contrived Carnaby Street 'lady-killer' dress sense was at odds with the fact that he was a rampant homosexual. In the business he was known as Petunia Winegum and had already had a 10 year affair with Alan Bates when he was dubbed 'the man most girls would like to lose their virginity to'. Unfortunately, two incidents of gross indecency in Gents toilets - which led to him being arrested and convicted, kind of killed his career. Most storylines in Jason King had him being knocked out at least once in every episode. In real life he would have brain damage by about episode 4 ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
