Long ago, an obscure spy show from Britain would air in syndication in Canada, tucked away on Saturday afternoons.
Wikipedia says: Jason King was a UK television series produced from 1971 to 1972. Each episode was one-hour in duration, and the series had a run of one series of 26 episodes. It was broadcast in the UK and was also screened in Australia.
They leave out Canada...
My friends and I watched this show for a brief period, and in the intervening years, it has been largely forgotten.
But with the coming of sites like YouTube, this lost relic can be *enjoyed* again.
He is Austin Powers, just more gay, with a touch of Noel Coward (though these clips seems to feature British actor Dennis Price, and are tilted in his direction).
And dig that crazy computer.
Such fun. I never saw this show, much less heard of it. Thanks for this.
