There will be a candle lit in S.E London tonight. One of my Dads mates was nicknamed Jason King, he was the spit, moustache, coat over the shoulders a true 60/70's icon. He even dyed his hair moustache n all black until well into his seventies, a real character. I believe, or like to think so, that he never ever cottoned on that he was called JK by everyone.
No wonder he put THAT incident down to imbibing a large quantity of wine.
& slipped on a bar of soap ................... deary deary me not sure what would be more embarrassing, JK drunkenly slipping on a bar of soap & ending up where he shouldn't have been or doing the house work naked & falling backwards onto a cucumber that just happened to be lying propped up where fell & sat on it, ending up in casualty. Not me I hasten to add or JK (as far as I know) but a popular urban myth years back
I wonder if he was the inspiration for the TV show Toast of London ?
I'm convinced he was the inspiration for a character called Jason Wyngarde in the X-Men comics around issue 130 - the name's a conflation of Jason King and Peter Wyngarde and the look was the same.
