Wow. Great video. I had never heard of the show before. I certainly had no idea Austin Powers was based on this. I think I’m going to check out an episode or two. Thanks. 😎👍
Thanks for the comment. It's definitely a tongue in cheek enjoyable spy series. If you can please subscribe, I'm not the fastest of creator's but will regularly upload new stuff. Cheers
Its a great, silly and well written James Bond type TV series. Some of Jason Kings suits were pretty stylish as well. Great and convincing fight scenes!
My dad worked on both Department S and Jason King. Everyone know what he liked and had two onset nicknames. Peter Petunia and Petula Winegums. Very Tom of Finland. hahaha
@@warblobb2895the Petunia Winegum story come from The Avengers when Peter was filming Epic, his biography is very good read and clears up lots of myths about Peter.
Nice video but BTW "Woke" originally referred to being aware of black history slavery etc and came out of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States but now has broadened it definition to include awareness of the struggles of all people who are disadvantaged by the majority, disabled people etc. So better being woke than ignorant of these things.
67 year old American here. I was around back then, but being an American, I never got to see his work. Now I'm really sorry about that. Would have been fun.
@@warblobb2895 his performance was dynamic. I felt he may have been schooled in Shakespeare like so many were, Diana Rigg as well who I saw perform McBeth in London in ‘72.
@@melodyebuskin5490 interesting you say that. Not a lot is known about wyngardes early years and schooling. Theres a lot of speculation he grew up in a POW camp dating WW2. Where did he learn Shakespeare do u think?
The trouble with Jason King is that he just looks ridiculous, and actually is ridiculous, just as all of his adventures are ridiculous. Not that there isn't fun along the way. And yes, I constantly have adoring women coming round to feed me strawberries and champagne.

Great video. I recall watching this series at ages 14 -15 and loved it.
Thank you, yes it was fun to watch.
Very well structured, informative and entertaining.
5:53 The guy on the right is an imitation of me when a friend offers me a Montecristo #2 cigar and a glass of Macallan 18
Let's never forget Harry Enfield as Jason Queen ❤
That comment about current Doctor Who is dead on, and worth a subscription :)
Thanks Dave, appreciate that.
@@warblobb2895 no problem, thank YOU :)
The Doc will always be Tom Baker for me BUT David Tennant is a close - very close - second.

freeze frame at 6:46...when Jason gets a cushion flung in his face his wig starts to fly off!! Not the first time either.😂

That's really cool, I bet you know some interesting stories. Petula Winegums indeed.

He did say, He Was a Bit of A Cult

You should give the series a watch, its enjoyable fun.
John Holmes must of been a fan
The Bore worms... I remember that well.
The mention always creeped me out.
My first introduction to him was in The Avengers - A Touch of Brimstone.
He was fantastic in that episode.

@@warblobb2895 I don’t know that he did. Just speculating bc of the way he acted.
@@melodyebuskin5490 I'd agree with that. He had a great deal of stage presence about him.
And the inspiration of Jason Wyngarde.
A lovely man!
He was superbly over the top in this series.
Peter Wingard fantastic!
Peter Wyngard fantastic!
Doubt very much if this went to the USA...not a lot did.

Ahhh.... Peter Wyngard....he shared the stage with a young Todd Rivers long before Garth Merenghie drove him to drink and obscurity 😝😁
Outstanding comparison, love garth and Todd.

Peter wasn’t gay..
