I loved watching this series on A&E back when they aired quality programs! Peter Davison is terrific in this role, and the late Brian Glover as his manservant “Magersfontein Lugg” is so great too. Thank You for posting this series! 😀

Thank you. I've seen this one twice before on UA-cam and I don't get tired of watching Campion; and I absolutely adore his man servant Magersfontein Lugg!
The more I see him the more I appreciate how good an actor Peter Davison is. He's convincing in every part I've seen him in. And they cover a fair range too.
Evan Hadkins You're welcome. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I think it improves as it goes on. I know I was really sad when I got to the last couple of episodes.
Evan Hadkins , he is one of those understated actors that say more saying nothing than the most over the top movie star can. I think British actors are so much better than American movie stars. I also like Rufus Suell very much!
Watching this in my retirement years makes me grateful for British television. No disrespect to my homeland but I believe the BBC to be the Better Broadcasting Company
How right you are, sir. The constant quality (some errors notwithstanding) of British televison is amazing, and it shows a trust in the audience that is remarkable.
@@henrydigskills4535 the BBC hasn't been left-wing for a good 15 years, do keep up. Their current election coverage could have been directed by Central Office. Funnily enough, when they really were left-wing, in the 70s and 80s, they were at their artistic peak. I suppose that's what happens when they're properly funded.
The thing is...Granada television, which is a commercial television network, also produced some great series in the eighties (Brideshead revisited, Jeeves and Wooster with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie and the Poirot series with David Suchet had its beginnings as well in the late eighties early nineties) mostly period pieces...done extremely well and some of the best television ever, and of course the BBC had its fair share too...but I think by and large it was the times and not a particular networks doing...especially when it comes to period pieces like this. It has to be remembered that , at the time these were done, they were being done by people who their period, because it wasn't really that far away from them...after all, in the eighties it would have only been most people who made the series grandparents generation at most they were representing; they understood and had a feel for that time...now its too far away and gets mired in 'contemporary' concerns which mars the verisimilitude of the story and how the actors perform within it. I feel this is why Downton Abbey is popular, because Julian Fellowes (and a lot of the cast) are older and have more familiarity with that time than average and audiences respond to that...they know when they are having something incongruous forced down their throats, even if they can't explain it.
Costume dramas were so much better done in those days. There was more authenticity of locations and of casting. Now they seem to be breaking their necks to shove modern motivations and values onto period characters which just jars. The latest set of Marples seems beset with homosexual love intrigue which was never in the original books - same with Father Brown - a catholic priest would not have been that way in the 1950s. If I watch period drama I do want to see that someone has made the effort to keep all the stories period authentic. What next - Sherlock Holmes using an I phone instead of his Bradshaw?
22:00 -- "Anthony Datchett" (Miles Anderson) also played the cocaine addict "Roger O'Neill" in the series "House of Cards" (1990). 38:26 -- The shopkeeper "Mr. Kettle" (Roger Hammond) was the pawn broker "Jabez Wilson" in Sherlock Holmes' "The Red Headed League" (1985) and the solicitor "Mr. Broadribb" in Miss Marple's "Nemesis" (1987).
The best think about these older TV series from books is that at least they tried to follow the plot as much as possible even though some characters were left out because of cost restraints. These days they might as well be listed as (based on an idea by .....) they make such a mess of them.
Now after a taste of Campion, I'm thoroughly hooked. Unfortunately, I can't find any other full episodes of Campion on utube. Sad. LOVE old British mysteries. Have watched many of the good ones: Sherlock, Poirot, Agatha C, Endeavour, so on and so forth. Can't get enough. Nothing compares, imho, to Brit mysteries, including the charm of the settings/scenes and all that go with.
I highly recommend the Campion books. Allingham was one of the best of the women who wrote mysteries in the Golden Age of British Mystery in the time between the wars. Dorothy Sayers was another--of Lord Peter fame. Allingham followed Albert Campion's detective doings through his marriage to a woman well worth being his companion. I've read the Campion mysteries for more than 60 years, and I still have pleasure and delight in rereading them. This is a fine rendition of MYSTERY MILE, but the written adventures have an elegance and wit you will enjoy even more. They have been reissued.
Thanks all. I finally found the way. Upper right logo on my iPad.. Spent time finding the way. Would not have minded but the words were distracting and downright weird and funny, as the sound of words wasn't interpreted correctly at all.
Detective Dangerous, i forgot he was Campion too. Both well played. Wish there were more Majory Allington videos. And to the guy in the opening scene who hates female, why?
Campion meets an American judge, while on a transatlantic cruise, whose life is being threatened by an enigmatic crime kingpin known as "Mr. Sinister." - imdb
Well I think killing the mouse would be too traumatising, actually. Some people might hate that nowadays, though back then it was perfectly fine to sacrifice a mouse to save a human. As for changing the conjurer's nationality yeah, that's a mistery
Perhaps the millennials could take notes. Before apps, cell phones, gates, tramp, spam, uninvited obnoxious commercials. I raised my kids on pbs. The best ever t.v. Kittens on utube are the only thing I would show my grandkids.
Is audio script the same as Closed Caption? there is a setting at the lower right of the movie called "cc", click on that and turn off. Hope this helps
Beautiful home and furnishings getting all dirtied and stunk up with tobacco smoke. Before too long, everything will reek and be covered with a greasy yellow film. Yuk.
No they didn't ! Smoking did not do half the damage they tell you. The greasy film easily wiped off the paint work and curtains were washed or dry cleaned.
Really, really dreadful. An absurdly poor story and a worse script, not worthy of Peter Davison's ability. Just awful. PG Wodehouse meets Midsomer Murders on a bad day.

Heyyyyy!😀✌
This is a game I play with myself as well! Recognizing these beloved brit actors across my favorites series!
Adorable & clever Peter Davison. Still, a far cry from either Tristan of All Creatures... & Dr Who.
I haven't seen Campion in ages. Thank you for posting.

Thanks for this excellent series. ❤
Delightful. Thank you very much for another goodie.
Old stuff is So Much Better!!!
Loved The Last Detective, even tho they replaced the Saint Bernard with a Landseer.
More Campion please.

Weird, but the start of it got my Vertigo going.
Very enjoyable episode
Thank you so much for a full sized upload. The others should all be removed.

oh after viewing some science fiction stuff ready for some sanity to watch and relax
Well said, well dressed in public and no foul language
So why don't you all (who are enjoying this series) read the novels by Margery Allingham? She wrote 30 Albert Campion books.

Thank you so much!! I really enjoy a lot!!!
Two Doctors! They managed to hide that they knew each other quite well.
And what a wonderful Bertram Wooster Peter Davison would have been. A shame...
Did anyone else notice the Judge's beautiful hands and nails?
What a dank, desolate and eerie place. Why would anyone want to live there?
Character my friend. Character.
The fellow who plays Sir Giles really looks the part.

I want to know what Dame Diana Rigg wore when she introduced the series.
Thank God I don't pay the bbc marxist fee.
Datchett?? He looks like the 13th Baron Kite to me 😁
Detective Dangerous, i forgot he was Campion too. Both well played. Wish there were more Majory Allington videos. And to the guy in the opening scene who hates female, why?
Hates Female Pianists! I don't like this one. either.
Anyone else noticed how similar Campion is in the books to Matt Smith's Doctor?
Thank you so much
this Campion fellow is energetic but a bit wet behind the ears . this is a job for Poirot
A comedy drama! Campion pretends to 'wet behind the ears ' to deceive the villains in the books.
@@mavisemberson8737oh yes, and they are deceived ... until it is too late

'Campion: Mystery Mile' (1989)?
What is with the black screen?? Sound is fine but NO PICTURE ☹️
I wonder why they removed Campion's pet mouse from the first scene, and why they changed the conjuror from Japanese to Indian.
Well I think killing the mouse would be too traumatising, actually. Some people might hate that nowadays, though back then it was perfectly fine to sacrifice a mouse to save a human. As for changing the conjurer's nationality yeah, that's a mistery
How many seasons & episodes were in this series or was it short lived??
2 seasons. 16 episodes.
