"The Persuaders" was the last of the truly great shows from "ITC." By 1971, Lew Grade had spent several years at the top of his game and had produced some solid entertainment. Now it was all about to draw to a close and would do by the mid 70s.
The above show is carried along marvellously by Tony Curtis and Roger Moore. (R.I.P) Their on screen chemistry is so natural and also funny. They both maintain the shows lighthearted tone and still enjoy themselves into the bargain.
24 episodes resulted and I would rate half of them from being excellent to good.
The pace never lets up, as our two wealthy heroes travel the globe and taking on all the villains that cross their path.
Some great actors to be found here. Derren Nesbitt, Nigel Green, Ian Hendry, Patrick Troughton, are just a few of them.
It makes for a refreshing change to see actual foreign locations being used for the series and this works well.
Great fun all the way.
