You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Gerald Theron Campion''' (23 April 1921 – 9 July 2002) was an English actor. He is best remembered for his role as [[Billy Bunter]] in a 1950s television adaptation (''[[Billy Bunter of Greyfriars School (TV series)|Billy Bunter of Greyfriars School]]'') of books by [[Charles Hamilton (writer)|Frank Richards (Charles Hamilton)]].((sfn|ComicsUK|2002))

==Biography==

His father Cyril Theron Campion (1894–1961) – a playwright and screenwriter – and Blanche Louise Tunstall née Bear (1890–1933) – a first cousin of [[Charlie Chaplin]] – married in 1920 in London.((sfn|Robinson|1985)) Campion was born in [[Bloomsbury]], [[London]], an only child.((sfn|Daily Telegraph|2002))

He won a place at [[RADA]] at age 15, and appeared in numerous films and television programmes – mostly comedies.((sfn|BFI|2018)) In 1937, he appeared in [[Tavs Neiiendam]]'s radio play ''Inspiration to a Poet'' on the [[BBC Home Service]].<ref>[[The Times]], "Broadcasting: A Danish Play", 11 March 1937.</ref>

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).<ref name=guardianobit>((cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/2002/jul/11/guardianobituaries.media|title=Obituary: Gerald Campion|first=Stephen|last=Dixon|date=10 July 2002|website=The Guardian))</ref> Campion later reprised the role (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 Bunter's form master at [[Greyfriars School]], Horace Henry Samuel Quelch, became a secret agent.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00hwvb2|title=Horace Henry Samuel Quelch, Series 1, Whatever Happened to...? – BBC Radio 7|publisher=BBC))</ref>

In 1979, he recorded an appearance in ''[[Shada (Doctor Who)|Shada]]'', a ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story which was not completed in its intended form.<ref>((cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ab2eBAAAQBAJ&q=gerald+campion+doctor+who+shada&pg=PT195|title=Doctor Who: The Complete Guide|first=Mark|last=Campbell|date=24 March 2011|publisher=Little, Brown Book Group|isbn=9781849018869|via=Google Books))</ref>

After dropping out of acting, Campion ran clubs and restaurants in London's [[Soho]], the best known of which is Gerry's, a long running private members' club attracting a mainly theatrical membership.<ref name=guardian>((cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2002/jul/11/broadcasting.g2|title=Michael Simkins recalls an evening with actor Gerald Campion|first=Michael|last=Simkins|date=11 July 2002|website=The Guardian))</ref>((sfn|Campion|2018))

==Personal life==

Campion's first marriage, with Jean M Sherman (Simmonds) (b. 1925) in London in 1947, ended in divorce in 1972. They had three children: Anthea (a singer who married composer [[Thomas Rajna]]); Anthony, born in 1948; and Angelica, born in 1962. His second marriage, with Susan (Suzie) Marks in 1973, ended with his death.

Campion lived in [[Wittersham]], [[Kent]] for many years.  He and his wife Suzie moved to France in 1991.  He died in 2002 aged 81 in [[Agen]], [[Aquitaine]], France.((sfn|BFI|2018))
