Doctor Who Vs. Campion, Series 2

The third television adaptations of the classic 
crime stories of Margery Louise Allingham 
were originally transmitted on BBC1 in 1989
and 1990, and starred Peter Davison (as 
the titular sleuth), Brian Glover, and Andrew

Burt.

Allingham (1904-1966) penned eighteen

Campion novels and twenty short stories

between 1929 and 1965, whilst her final

work (Cargo of Eagles) was written by her

 husband, Philip Youngman Carter and 
published posthumously in 1968.
Following Carter's death, an unfinished
Allingham manuscript was completed by

Mike Ripley and released in 2014 as Mr.

Campion's Farewell.

A repeat run of the second, eight-part
