I'm American and had never heard of this show prior to Grant Morrison's homage in The Invisibles. But man, I need more. There's just something about 60s/70s BBC productions; the music, the style, everything. American TV of the time was arguably grittier and more socially aware, but they couldn't do weirdness or adventure like the UK.

The funny thing was, growing up as a kid in the '80's they never repeated shows like this at teatime. I would have loved to have watched shows like this instead of the rubbish like the munsters or the Addams family after school.
Department S looked really good. Apparently they wanted to do Dept S without the main characters and turned it into a Jason King vehicle, but Wyngarde to his credit vetoed this and insisted that they changed nothing- loved him as Klytus in Flash Gordon.

Nonsense! He happened to have a thick head of hair and it's a nice change to see men with hair after all the unattractive shaved heads and nearly shaved heads one sees nowadays!

Now I know why an X-Men villain was named "Jason Wyngarde"....

@spacemanGoldie It was the 60s. Ridiculous hair was part of the zeitgeist.

You just have to be patient! I have all my clips set to "Moderated Comments", so I have to approve them before they appear. I'm sorry about the delay, but it's the only way to keep porn-site spam comments off my clips.
