Peter Wyngarde is Bad

[RobinSandza]

Yeah great vid! Windgarde is a super bad ass true and he can be super classy and charming too! Like lots of people, I discovered this actor through different british series but we musn't forget that he was also one of the ghosts of Jack Clayton's THE INNOCENTS (1961)!!!

[lyverbird]

Camptastic fun!!! Thanks so much for this compilation!!!

[omegaman59]

He is somewhat in the Peter O'Toole mold and in many ways even better!

[Mujangga]

Awesome. I'm a fan of the prisoner but had no idea that Peter Wyngarde played a number 2. I guess it's the clean shaven face...

Diana Riggs S&M, made my day.

[Lytton333]

Actually, as Jason King he's rather on the side of good.. and not bad at it either.

[AustralianGuyyy]

Along with Christopher Walken, Peter Wyngarde is such an under-rated actor. He is pure genius and deserved so much more. A real man.

that clip is from the avengers, diana rigg in the leather, she is mrs emma peel

thankyouthankyouthankyou --I have just been initiated into the wonderful world of Wyngarde. Am thoroughly enjoying each discovery (Dept S, Jason King, "Burn, Witch, Burn" [in the states], & etc) and even Wyngarde's musical output (in...teresting...) Will next be trying to locate the movie in your clip where he's wielding a whip and tormenting that poor leather clad lass. That man knows how to rock a mustache.  Thanks, again!

@3devv4 Glad you're enjoying it that much - and I wish you much more fun with Wyngarde's Weird World of Wonders. ;)

[LerafoLuap]

@3devv4 The girl in the kinky leather gear is the gorgeous Diana Rigg, and I'm almost certain the scene is from an episode of 'The Avengers'.

Excellent tribute to a superb and classy villain!

Smart idea!

[ballygeale1]

any idea wer he is now

[stephenm6100]

peter wyngarde great actooor.....

[Thespilian]

@cutandpaste1 : That's from A TOUCH OF BRIMSTONE.

[nervchemnitz]

Peter Wyngarde is a classic! Suave, campy, sinister, smooth around the ladies yet doesn't like them, versitile, and English... all rolled into one package. They don't make actors like this anymore :(

Kudos for including the clip of chasing Diana Rigg in a corset but lose kudos for leaving out Klytus.

[Thespilian]

I simply didn't have FLAS GORDON on DVD at the time. ^^;

But honestly, greatest loss - as far as I'm concerned - is his Baron Gruner in THE ILLUSTRIOUS CLIENT, which isn't available on DVD at all.

[Rolandzebub]

Nice video, but how can you leave out Klytus?! I shall be forced to bring the bore worms if this is not satisfactorily resolved.

[Crumphorn]

A strange and wonderful video. It was about time Peter Wyngarde was rediscovered.

[iwasknownasthewild1]

KING OF CAMP! Great vid,well done!

[jeperstone]

I think the UK needs a Peter Wyngarde back! From an age when Brtain took herself less seriously. Department S box set for Christmas methinks! Thanks for this!

[whatisitfawlty]

Just looking at these images makes you realise that UK TV today is absolute shite visually.

[genesis90125]

excellent, just bought department s and jason king boxsets cant wait to watch them.

[Thespilian]

Thanks a lot.

And have fun with the shows. I prefer "Department S" to "Jason King", though. The latter has a bit too much of a good thing. ;)

[CDeanWatcher]

I love Peter Wyngarde! Thanks for sharing!

[TurnOffTard]

great stuff especially The Prisoner, The Avengers, and Sherlock Holmes. Could you post all the fights between him and Mrs. peel? They are great! Thanks a lot for the tribute!
