Jason King reaction !! The glorious inspiration for Austin Powers..

Enter a very 70s world of intrigue, convincing hand to hand combat and amazing hairstyles. The unapologetically camp world of Author and part time detective Jason King!

[@chrisj1477]

I remember Jason King well.........😂 Loved your commentary!!!

[@warblobb2895]

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!

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. 😎👍

[@warblobb2895]

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

Great video. I recall watching this series at ages 14 -15 and loved it.

[@warblobb2895]

Thank you, yes it was fun to watch.

Very well structured, informative and entertaining.

The Doc will always be Tom Baker for me BUT David Tennant is a close - very close - second.

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

[@warblobb2895]

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

[@johnchurch4705]

@@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.

He was superbly over the top in this series.

My first introduction to him was in The Avengers - A Touch of Brimstone.

He was fantastic in that episode.

@@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?

@@warblobb2895 I don’t know that he did. Just speculating bc of the way he acted.

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.

You should give the series a watch, its enjoyable fun.

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.
