Amazon.co.uk Review

Between heroic spells as the Saint and James Bond, Roger Moore was teamed with Tony Curtis in this derivative but fun series about a couple of millionaire dilettante adventurers who swan around the world competing for the attention of beautiful women and getting involved in perplexing mysteries. Moore is Lord Brett Sinclair, an uppercrust Brit of impeccable breeding, while Curtis is Danny Wilde, an up-from-the-streets self-made man whose trademark is a pair of brown gloves. The allegedly tasteful Brett and the crasser Danny both model a succession of garish early 70s fashions while their pursuits of duplicitous crumpet usually wind up with the women getting away and the heroes stuck with each other. Given that, this may well be the most blatantly homoerotic of all the buddy television pairings (see the eponymous stars of Starsky and Hutch, Regan and Carter in The Sweeney, Bodie and DoyleThe Professionals) that ran over the screen in the 70s, sublimating their feelings for each other by pulling out their guns and popping off at baddies.

Volume One includes: "Overture" which features a gangster who has faked his own death and a brunette with a birthmark, with guest star Imogen (When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth) Hassall; and "Angie... Angie", which concerns a murder at the Cannes Film Festival, with Larry (F Troop) Storch. --Kim Newman

5.0 out of 5 stars I hope it's just the beginning, 25 Nov 2000
By A Customer
I remember watching this series dubbed in Italian when I was a child, and now that I can own it on a dvd it's great! In the first episode we see how the two met and it's terrific, in a classic 70s style. I am now collecting all of the British series I can find on dvd and I hope this one is just the beginning, because I'm still waiting for Gerry Anderson's UFO! Whether you have already seen it or not, this dvd it's worth its cost. Tony Curtis and Roger Moore are great and fun is sure!

4.0 out of 5 stars Totally Brilliant!, 6 Sep 2000
By A Customer
The Persuaders! is one of the great ITC classic series. This DVD has excellent quality sound and picture reproduction. I like the menu screens which show the episode playing in small tv's but must admit I hate the swirly effect on the logo. I would suggest that it be left alone for the next volume. I would have also preferred three episodes per disc but beggars can't be choosers. I liked the extras but I would like to see some more material on the next volume. Generally an excellent DVD and great value for money. With the logo left alone and some more extras I'll give the next release 5 out of 5 if the prints and sound are as good as volume one.
