I recall loving the theme tune of this series and not loving the thing itself.
I was 11/12 when this was on tv and so I bought the dvd the other day as part of my mission to watch ITC productions I watched when much younger.
I have watched The Baron and Department S and Man In A Suitcase. I know The Saint,The Champions and Randall and Hopkirk well.
I expected to like The Protectors but I am not enjoying it much. The plots are usually poor and the lead characters are unimpressive.
As many critics say the 30 minute format is a fatal flaw,even the best stories need time to develop,there is no time in 30 minutes.
The positive things about this series is the locations and the look of the show,I want to live in the flats they live in.
The locations seem to mostly be Spain,the South Of France and Malta. Malta looks fantastic in this series.
I am going to stick with this series in the hope it gets better,looking forward to guests stars such as Hannah Gordon but so far I am not liking it as much as The Saint or The Champions.
