| Campion | comment |
Campion was a British series, adapted from the Albert Campion books by Margery Allingham, which ran between 1989 and 1990, and featured Peter Davison as Albert Campion; outwardly Idle Rich, 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. | |

Technical Pacifist | |
| Campion / int_777c0033 | comment |
Technical Pacifist: Campion has a 'rule' not to kill — partly because of his arrangement with the police and partly because it just wouldn't be gentlemanly — but he's quite ready to punch people into the wall. And the table. And the bookshelf... Part of the conflict in "Mystery Mile" comes from the 'kill or be killed' situation he ends up in. | |
