‘Department S’: The Complete Series Special Edition DVD review
Now this is what you expect retro TV to be like. Colourful, extravagant and gloriously camp in tone… but that’s enough about star Peter Wyngarde as Jason King.

Now this is what you expect retro TV to be like. Colourful, extravagant and gloriously camp in tone… but that’s enough about star Peter Wyngarde as Jason King.
Originally based on stories by Roald Dahl, few would have predicted the early 1980’s success of Tales Of The Unexpected, which ran to a grand total of 112 stories.
This neat little spin-off is the collected form of the 3-4 minute long cartoon episodes that featured in the CBBC show Totally Doctor Who which accompanied the last series of the resurrected sci-fi classic.
In comparison to the likes of The Wire, The Shield and The Sopranos, 24 is beginning to look like a format that has had its time.
