Two worlds collide when the titled Englishman, Lord Brett Sinclair, and the Bronx-raised, self-made American Danny Wilde, reluctantly join forces to right wrongs, and to protect the innocent.
Mix two relatively harmless compounds like nitro and glycerine, and you've got yourself a very potent combination, just like in the case of the titled Englishman, Lord Brett Sinclair, and the Bronx-raised, self-made American Danny Wilde. Joined into an improbable team by a not-so-unexpected bar brawl and the ingeniousness of the retired Judge Fulton, the two men of immense quality and potential are off to search for loopholes overlooked and to redress one of the anomalies of the law, that is in protecting the innocent, the guilty often go free too. Sometimes rivals, sometimes allies, nevertheless, always companions, Lord Brett, the noble, first-class athlete and artistic polyglot, and Danny, the irrepressible, optimistic and courageous oil tycoon, together they are bound to get the job done. Who could stand in the way of such an unlikely but powerful alliance?
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..<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>And that while the series itself where rather upbeat and frivol. Of course Tony Curtis and Roger Moore teamed up perfectly.<br/><br/>If you get the chance you should really listen to the theme song.
This is easily one of the best shows that I have ever watched. I&#39;ve always loved Tony Curtis and Roger Moore, and to see them both together would be the last thing you would expect, but it was the best thing the show&#39;s creators ever did. Tony and Roger&#39;s characters of Danny Wilde and Brett Sinclair are complete opposites, (except for the fact that they are both rich playboys) and they are truly hilarious to watch. You can see how much fun they had playing their roles, (especially Tony, who was always smiling, doing goofy things, and saying the funniest lines...I&#39;m convinced that he ad-libbed half of what he said). The show was visually beautiful, being filmed in England, France, Scotland, etc. It completely boggles my mind that the show didn&#39;t catch on in America! It&#39;s such an awful, awful shame, as I could watch this show every day. (I have both sets, and have been doing just that, lol.) If you can get your hands on the DVDs (which are VERY expensive now...I&#39;m sure glad I bought mine 12 years ago) don&#39;t hesitate. You&#39;ll treasure this show for the rest of your life. OH, I can&#39;t end this review without mentioning the AWESOME theme music! One of the best TV themes I&#39;ve ever heard!
