{{Campion}} was a British series, adapted from the books by Margery Allingham, which ran between 1989 and 1990, and featured PeterDavison as Albert Campion; outwardly a {{Rich Idiot With No Day Job}} but in reality a {{Gentleman Adventurer}} who is willing to sell his skills to anyone in trouble. Aside from his enquiring mind and deductive abilities, his main attribute is his incredible range and depth of contacts, ranging from low class criminals up to the Chief Constables of a number of police forces. He was assisted on most of his adventurers by Magersfontein Lugg - a burglar turned valet.
