At last!...The Special Edition of the classic 70's ITC series, "The Persuaders!" which includes all 24 uncut episodes wonderfully remastered (check out those beautiful colours!) in a 9-DVD Box Set. Crime fighting with Curtis & Moore has never been as clear and colourful.
This is truly a great testament to a series that still holds a special unique blend of action and thrills for it's audience even to this day, more so than the few people who class this series as the epitome of everything that reeked Seventies 'Cheese'. Nevetheless, it's a good 'cheese' and in-demand too!
There are also some great extras on this set which includes a documentary featuring some hair-raising stories about Tony Curtis, image galleries from every episode and audio commentaries plus lots more.
If you're a fan, you'll love this and 'Network' have done a fantastic job with this series just like their great work with 'The Sweeney' DVD sets.
You won't be disappointed!

this series has been on dvd before, but is due for a reissue by september hopefully.
a classic example of cult tv at its best, tony curtis and roger moore star as two wealthy playboys who joyfully enter the spirit of fighting crime and seducing the women.
a shame this programme flopped in the U.S (no pleasing some people), the added bonus of filming on location only helps to make this one a winner; the U.K, France, Italy etc. makes a change from all the studio-bound stuff from before.
moore and curtis have a brilliant on-screen chemistry, whether exchanging wisecracks, fighting the villains etc.
you will find a whole gallery of familiar faces in the programme; terry thomas , andrew keir, nigel green, ian hendry, the creepy derren nesbitt, patrick troughton, bernard lee and even coronation street's mike baldwin, johnny briggs.
don't miss out.

I purchased this set for myself. A real blast from the past and I am enjoying seeing them again after thirty or so years. The DVD's are generally in good condition, just one or two with usage scratches. The DVD cases are in good condition but the case for the set was in poor condition. This was, however, intimated at in the sellers brief. The set arrived before the given date and the service was brilliant. I thank you very much for enlivening my past memories.

As a nine year old in 1971 I could hardly wait for Friday evenings and my weekly fix of the Persuaders to come around. Now watching it on crystal clear DVD its as funny and charming as I remember it being. My favourites are the pilot episode with the iconic car race between Rogers Aston Martin and Tony Curtis's Ferrari. This scene featured the then new split screen technique accompanied by some fab hippy music.
Each episode usually featured some very familiar faces, Joan Collins as a hip seventies photographer. Patrick Troughton as a mad Nazi and lets not forget the late great Terry Thomas. In one episode Moore plays the entire St Clair clan as they are bumped off one by one. For anyone with a penchant for seventies TV gold this is a must have collection. You can also witness the hilarious sight of Roger Moore disco dancing. That alone is worth the price of this set. A huge thumbs up.

Contrary to some reviews, the episode 'Greensleeves' has been sourced from an inferior original master, which is a pity given the stunning quality of the rest.
Not the end of the world, I guess, just a shame.

Although this series is originally filmed in English one can hardly stand the story, dialogues and costumes. However, the Persuaders, known as "Die Zwei" (The Two) in German are cult in Germany. The translator of the programme, Mr Brand, decided that the original one-to-one copy of the series would never succeed in Germany, and formed a new way of translation, where he added dialogues which never took place in the original version. He formed the story as far as possible in an interesting and exciting way and created one of the most loved foreign programmes in Germany's seventies. But this version one has to stand in English, although other countries took the German version as the "original" for their translation (e.g. France). Therefore, one has to learn German to get the best out of this brilliant, funny and exciting programme. It's a real pity only 24 parts were filmed, in Germany we still wait for another dozen to come...
