Ah, so many great performances in so many great series.

That wonderful rich voice!

He was someone I always hoped to randomly bump into and talk to as I'm sure he had some great stories.

RIP Peter.

Very sad news. Peter was a wonderful charismatic actor of immense power, style and panache.
He was arguably the best guest-star actor ever to appear in The Avengers: A Touch of Brimstone and Epic.
His Honourable John Cleverly Cartney opposite Diana Rigg's Queen of Sin was unforgettable.
RIP Peter Wyngarde

I was sad to hear this today. He brought a touch of class to his 2 Avengers episodes. I'm really hoping ITV4 repeat Dept S and Jason King again soon. RIP.

Such a fabulous talent. I plan on watching his two Avengers appearances and I think I'll give "Night of The Eagle" (US title Burn Witch Burn) a watch as well.

The Estate of Peter Wyngarde at auction.

Post by Ian Wegg »

Peter Wyngarde's personal possessions are coming up for sale next Thursday (26th March) at East Bristol Auctions The Estate of Peter Wyngarde

A total of 257 lots, nothing much identified as Avengers related but Lot 42 from an "unidentified production" might bear closer examination.
