Magnum P.I. ? Sorry that was the 80's, the most likely answer is; Jason King (ITV 1971-2) played by Peter Wyngarde If Columbo was sartorially challenged then Jason King was very much the man about town. Peter Wyngarde's smooth ladies man was a successful author (crime novels about Mark Caine) who solved crimes almost as a hobby, the books paying for his champagne lifestyle. Previously seen in Department S, King was so flamboyant a character he almost demanded his own series. Whilst the series had panache, the leading man was seen as an ageing playboy with a decadent approach which felt out of place in the sober early seventies. Escapist stuff and no more...
