Handprint in Cement
Peter Wyngarde's handprint - Immortalised in cement!
Peter Wyngarde left his handprint in cement in the walk of fame at the Bunnings (then McEwans) hardware emporium (in Melbourne, Australia) on the 16th of June 1972. The Walk of Fame features many other international celebrities of the day including John Inman, Derek Nimmo, Sid James as well as Australian celebrities such as Colleen Hewitt and Bert Newton.

A few years ago all the hand and footprints were relocated to an interior wall of the store as many had eroded due to the years of constant foot traffic. If visiting, the store location is Bourke St Melbourne (Victoria, Australia), right in the heart of the city. The prints are located just inside the Bourke St entrance (on your right), Peter's handprints are in the centre of the bottom row.
Peter in Australia
Below are details of Peter Wyngarde's visit to Australia in the early 1970's.

Following the success of Department S on Channel 7 in 1970 Peter was invited to Australia to tour the major cities to help promote the Network's self-styled "TV revolution". On his arrival at Sydney Airport on 1 March 1970 Peter was greeted by 35,000 fans - Yes, thirty-five thousand! Unfortunately because of the hysteria Peter was crushed and suffered concussion and spent three days in the local hospital.

The next stop was Melbourne where Peter appeared on the Mike Walsh Show which was broadcast on 5 March 1970. After taking part in an interview Peter then sang two songs from his recently released LP. During his week long stay in the city Peter also made a guest appearance in the crime thriller "Homicide" which was shown on Channel 7 two months later.

Then on to Brisbane, whilst there Peter was asked to record several links for Channel 7 using the slogan "Channel 7 is beautiful, long live the Revolution", a statement which soon became the catch phrase for teenagers throughout Australia. During the same month a TV listings magazine described Peter as "The King Peacock of Television". Meanwhile at his hideout in the city more than fifty young women took up residence outside his hotel. It was reported that three of them managed to scale the wall of the hotel to Peter's balcony and spent the night there, Problem is he was staying on the twelfth floor (now that's dedication)! Peter wasn't even safe whilst asleep as two maids crept in his room and cut hairs from his chest and moustache.

Peter arrived back in London on 15 April to start work on his new series Jason King which made a spectacular debut on Channel 7 the following year.

In May 1972 Peter returned to Australia to take the lead role in Simon Grey's play Butley and was once again mobbed by a fanatical public. To say that women found him irresistible would be an understatement as a survey in an Australian magazine confirmed. When asked who they would most like to lose their virginity to, 40,000 women said Peter Wyngarde.

Weird fact: Following the Department S episode 'The Trojan Tanker' in which a huge gold bullion robbery is executed using a petrol tanker, a copycat snatch took place a few days later at the Melbourne Airport.
