British screen legend Peter Davison sits down to give us an invaluable insight into the iconic 1989-1990 mystery drama series Campion, the BBC’s second adaptation of Margery Allingham’s highly celebrated set of detective novels.\n\nIn a string of mysteries that call for a Lagonda-fuelled romp through 1930s England, Campion captivated audiences with its imaginative storytelling and string of inspired characters. \n\nDavison reveals how he embodied Campion’s gleaming eccentricities, what the preparation was like for his third leading role in a major BBC series, following on from his successes in Doctor Who and A Very Peculiar Practice, and what it was like to be immersed in the world of one of Britain’s most-loved authors from the golden age of detective fiction.
