The son of a screen writer, Cyril Campion, Gerald Campion appeared in numerous films and television programmes — mostly comedies. In 1937 he appeared in Tavs Neiiendam's radio play Inspiration to a Poet on the BBC Home Service.
His only major success was as Bunter, a juvenile role he played successfully despite being much older than his character (he was 40 when the series ended). In 1979 he recorded an appearance in Shada, a Doctor Who story which was recorded in part but never broadcast.
After dropping out of acting, he ran clubs and restaurants in London's Soho, the most famous - and enduring - of which is Gerry's, a private member's club attracting a mainly theatrical membership.
Campion later reprised the role of Bunter (now Lord Bunter of Hove, who had succeeded in betting shops and property) in the BBC Radio 7 series Whatever Happened to...? in the episode that speculated on whether his form master at Greyfriars School, Horace Henry Samuel Quelch, became a secret agent.
The series starred Gerald Campion, (who was 29 at the time!), and was based on the books written by Frank Richards. At one time it was so popular that it was transmitted at 5.40pm for children and again at 8pm for the parents!
Bunter's teacher was Mr. Quelch (played first by Kynaston Reeves and later by Jack Melford). Harry Wharton, Bob Cherry, Johnny Bull, Hurree Jamset Ram Singh, Frank Nugent, Lord Mauleverer, and the bully Coker were his schoolchums at Greyfriars School.

The Sandwich Man
The Sandwich Man is a 1966 British comedy film directed by Robert Hartford-Davis, produced by Peter Newbrook, and written by Hartford-Davis and Michael Bentine.
The film is a series of 'events' that take place on the streets of London, and offers a valuable glimpse of London in the mid-sixties.
Some of the episodes work better than others, but the premise of Michael Bentine as the 'Sandwich Man' walking the streets and observing the endless everyday human doings, finding the amusing and the absurd in everything, is appealing.
Observe but never take part is the watchword.
The film boasts and impressive cast:
Michael Bentine as Horace Quilby, the Sandwich Man; also as Gungadin, the owner of a jazz club
Dora Bryan as Mrs. DeVere
Harry H. Corbett as Stage-Door Keeper
Bernard Cribbins as ...

Classic TV Theme: Campion
Albert Campion didn't exist...even in the fictional world of his exploits. The name was a pseudonym the character (a man born into British aristocracy) adopts when adventuring. His exploits were documented in dozens of novels and short stories by Margery Allingham. The BBC's 'Campion' was Peter Davison; his 1989 series covered eight stories over sixteen episodes. The 1920s-style theme is by Nigel Hess.
00:00 Opening titles. From 'Flowers for the Judge'.
