Sad news today: Peter Wyngarde has died. He was ninety years old and had a career that reached great heights and deep lows. He starred as Jason King, the playboy crime solver who uttered classic lines like "A bit too early for coffee; I'll have a Scotch." 

 

He did plenty of other film and TV, but was largely blacklisted from lead roles due to homophobia after a police charge. He also recorded the most morally dubious record in existence, which is quite a career.

 

Time to open your shirt and roll your cuffs back.
