    Always had amazing style.... Him and Vaughn Toulouse both had a look.

    Loved Department S the band but not the programme. I always wonder what Wyngarde made of them?

    I have an album he did. Wouldn't be possible to release it now I think as it is definitely non pc.

    Enjoyed him on tv though.

    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 :smiley:

    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.

    He was allegedly permanently pissed during the 10 years that he lived with Alan Bates.
