Just caught the news that Jason King and Dept S star Peter Wyngarde has passed away aged 90.

I've fond memories of his super-cool flamboyant TV persona. He certainly was a larger than life character.

Loved his Bentley Continental S2.

RIP
 
Dept S .... think that’s where my love of Jensen Interceptors came from.
 
A colourful character indeed. I remember a school friend telling me (circa 1969) that they were filming a scene for Department S where his mother worked, and how disappointed she was that he wasn't in that scene. The crew pointed out to her that she would have been the last one on his radar - quite a discovery back then, as it wasn't widely known, and he was such a heart throb for the ladies. i always felt he should have had a much higher profile career. RIP.
