Peter Wyngarde – or Petunia Winegum as he was also known when he wasn't otherwise known as Cyril Louis Goldbert – is worth more than that.

I'll always be grateful to him for an occasion when I returned to my hotel room in Geneva following a particularly bloody day at work, which had left me feeling vaguely suicidal. I lay on the bed for a while, groaning as I remember every horrible detail of the past 14 hours, and finally, in desperation, switched on the TV, only to find that an old episode of Department S was playing. All it needed was for Jason King to remove the foot-long, impossibly thin pipe he kept lodged down the side of one of his knee-length leather boots (because his budgie-smuggler trousers were too tight for pockets) and I was suddenly rolling around, laughing hysterically, the cares of the day momentarily banished. I've forgotten where he kept his tobacco and lighter - probably best not to ask.
