Peter Davison's eighties detective series Campion is coming out on DVD for the first time.
Based on a series of novels by Margery Allingham, Campion starred Peter Davison as posh Twenties detective Albert Campion, with Brian Glover as his ex-convict manservant Magersfontein Lugg. The series was screened on the BBC in 1989 and 90, and featured much monocle-wearing on Davison's part.
The DVD contains the first two Campion stories plus filmographies and a Margary Allingham biography and bibliography. In Look to the Lady, Campion must protect an heirloom of the Gryth family from international thieves, while in Police at the Funeral, a murderer is on the loose in a sinister house in Cambridge.
