Peter Wyngarde stars as novelist and dilettante private dick Jason King, whose humungous sideburns swept him away from the ensemble Department S into a solo jetset world, realised on the cheap (16mm film). Each week, King bashed out a book, downed a horn of Moët, shagged a few groupies and dabbled in intrigue. The first episode guest starred David Bauer and Anna Palk, with Nicholas Courtney as an ace plastic surgeon (tx. 15/09/1971) It's a shame we see so little of Peter Wyngarde on TV these days, his acting is magnificent.
