''Campion'' was a British series, adapted from the Literature/AlbertCampion books by Margery Allingham, which ran between 1989 and 1990, and featured Creator/PeterDavison as Albert Campion; outwardly a RichIdiotWithNoDayJob but in reality a GentlemanAdventurer [[WeHelpTheHelpless 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.
