This show has got to be the one action series that stood out from the rest,of its time.One of the most expensive to make,not just because of its two main stars,but also its exotic locations.The project of the series,was the brainchild of TV/movie MOGUL,SIR LEW GRADE,who saw big money in the idea,but after just 24 episodes,the show was axed,the show ran from 1971 to 1972,was memorable for its haunting catchy theme tune,composed and performed by the late great TV/film composer JOHN BARRY.The performance of its two stars,SIR ROGER MOORE and TONY CURTIS,was pure magic,and reminded me very much of those BING CROSBY and BOB HOPE road films,the plots were simple but often bizarre,fight scenes were always fun to watch,no one ever had a mark left,and SIR ROGER MOORE's hair was never out of place.The show was sold all over the world,since its axe,it has been repeated on TV many times,such as bravo channel,it is available on DVD box set,and corgi even produced a replica of LORD BRET SINCLAIR's car,the famous yellow mustard Aston Martin,but corgi never got round to producing DANNY WILDE's car, TONY CURTIS's Red Ferrari.There was talk at one time of making a big screen version of the show,and many names had been put forward,such as,comic STEVE COOGAN,even GEORGE CLOONEY in the part of DANNY WILDE,but as yet nothing has surfaced,but for now we can only watch the original series,and marvel at its brilliance,its magic of its performers,SIR ROGER MOORE now 85 years old,yet still showing us he's a classy saint,and of course remember with great fondness,the late great TONY CURTIS,to me and to others,THE PERSUADERS will live on in our hearts

Never before have I seen on-screen chemistry like that between Roger Moore and Tony Curtis in The Persuaders. Both actors fill their roles perfectly and more besides, whoever teamed up these guys needs credit also.Whether they're winning improbable fight scenes, surviving hair-raising car chases, or making sense of unusual situations (e.g Sinclair finding out how he has suddenly acquired a wife, Wilde being accidentally immersed into a Soviet spy ring, or Sinclair again finding that he has been cloned!) Moore and Curtis always appear to be having a riot of a time, perhaps in some measure a result of the large quantities of champagne the cast got through on the set.Roger Moore deploys his usual charm and dry wit, whilst the manic Curtis excels with his deadpan humour and perfect timing. The contrast between the two main characters matches that between the two actors, but its more a case of salt and vinegar than cheese and chalk, Moore and Curtis are perfect together, and together they are perfect for the show. Slightly camp 1970s comedy/action - perfect for Roger to make his indelible mark on the James Bond series, and a welcome change for Tony from his less light-hearted roles.Brilliant series, shame it only lasted a couple of years!

I have to admit that Roger Moore is one of my favourite actors. He was brilliant in The Saint and I cannot forget his contribution to the James Bond series. In this show, he excelled again along with Tony Curtis.Anyone who lived during the era this was made knows what to expect. Fights, women, action, crime etc. Moore as Lord Brett Sinclair and Tony Curtis as Danny Wilde looked like they were having a great time as they had fun with beautiful women and battled the usual stereotypical villains.Fans of The Saint, The Avengers and similar shows will enjoy this. It's just a shame that this only ran for about 23 episodes.

The thing I always remember from the Persuaders is the theme song by John Barry. Back then as a little boy it really gave me the creeps..Now over 30 years later, I still can understand why. The mystical zither melody line, the threatening violins and last but not least the moaning moog bass line, made you prepare for the worst to come.And that while the series itself where rather upbeat and frivol. Of course Tony Curtis and Roger Moore teamed up perfectly.If you get the chance you should really listen to the theme song.
