Customer Reviews of The Persuaders!, Set 1
Great Fun!!! The Persuaders is a terrific blend of action and humor. Curtis and Moore have great chemistry together. If you like The Avengers and The Saint series then you'll love The Persuaders. The brilliant theme is by John Barry, composer of the James Bond film scores.
Nitro and Glycerine
"Take two relatively harmless compounds, say 'nitro' and glycerine' mix them both together and you have a very potent combination, handle it carelessly and it could blow your head off"
That analogy sums up Curtis and Moore's characters perfectly in this stylish 70's series about a couple of bored Playboys looking for the next challenge.
Old tv shows from the 70's can look either very corny or very stylish these days, The Persuaders falls into the latter, a lot of money was spent making this show, with two big names in the lead roles, expensive and luxurious locations throughout Europe, no expense was spared making this show drip with wealth to make these Playboys lives appear exciting and believable, even the cars they drove, Curtis drove a Ferrari Dino 246GT and Moore a rebadged Aston Martin DBS.
Originally Broadcast in 1971 the series was originally planned to run for five seasons of 26 episodes but after it was placed against Mission Impossible in an American ratings war the second season was cancelled. In 1971 The Persuaders had been sold for Broadcast to every country in the world apart from Albania, China and the USSR.
I recall watching the series as a kid in the 70's and still enjoy seeing it today.
Incidentally the UK release has all 24 episodes of the First and only season; if anyone doesn't want to hang around for box set two; or you can buy episodes seperately; usually 2 or 3 per disk, then look on Amazon.co.uk for them.
Another botched A&E audio transfer
This series is very entertaining but is marred by an out of sync audio transfer. Once again A&E has released a DVD title without doing any kind of quality control check before going to market. Too bad. I quite enjoyed the show, but the out of sync audio will relegate this title to the rental only queue.
