Information
from the back cover of the videos:
With Jason King anything can happen - and usually does.
The flamboyant novelist who
engages in crime investigation is always in search of
ideas for his next best-seller, leading him directly into
the thick of mystery and espionage. Putting his life on
the line and indulging in many pleasures along the way,
Jason King is the danger diplomat with nerves of steel.
General review of series (from amazon.co.uk)
Although crime-writer-turned-detective Jason King, as
played by the deep-voiced Peter Wyngarde, was the star
supporting character of the 1969-70 series Department
S, he seemed rather diminished when given a show of his
own, thus robbing him of the straight characters necessary
to show off his flamboyance.
Jason King also ditched the impossible mysteries of the
parent series in favour of more ordinary puzzles that
the Saint or any other two-fisted hero could have solved
without having to spend so much on fabulous fashion gear.
That said, Wyngarde is well-matched by his foils, the
value-for-money hams Dennis Price and Ronald Lacey, as
the government agents who forced Jason to catch villains
for them by threatening to turn him in for failing to
pay his back taxes on the earnings of his bestsellers.
Jason King was also the only hero on television who would
take any brutal beating from the bad guys and shrug it
off, only to become quite agitated when they threatened
to slice his suits to bits.
