deana_lisi This is easily one of the best shows that I have ever watched. I'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's creators ever did. Tony and Roger'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'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't catch on in America! It'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'm sure glad I bought mine 12 years ago) don't hesitate. You'll treasure this show for the rest of your life. OH, I can't end this review without mentioning the AWESOME theme music! One of the best TV themes I've ever heard!

aja007 This is probably the best British TV series of the 70s.Moore, at his elegant best, and Curtis play off each other brilliantly.At the time, Roger Moore was reportedly the highest paid actor on British TV for his role of Lord Brett Sinclair. The reputed figure was £1million! Also Moore apparently agreed to do this series to get out of his contract with Lew Grade thus allowing him to become the new 007 (at the third time of asking).Tony Curtis'career on the other hand was waning and he accepted the part of Danny Wilde for a salary much lower than Moore's.There have been several rumoured remakes over the years, mentioning names such as Pierce Brosnan, Jamie Lee Curtis (!) and, more recently, Steve Coogan.

crawfrordboon Never before have I seen on-screen chemistry like that between Roger Moore and Tony Curtis in The Persuaders. Both actors fill their roles perfectly and more besides, whoever teamed up these guys needs credit also.Whether they're winning improbable fight scenes, surviving hair-raising car chases, or making sense of unusual situations (e.g Sinclair finding out how he has suddenly acquired a wife, Wilde being accidentally immersed into a Soviet spy ring, or Sinclair again finding that he has been cloned!) Moore and Curtis always appear to be having a riot of a time, perhaps in some measure a result of the large quantities of champagne the cast got through on the set.Roger Moore deploys his usual charm and dry wit, whilst the manic Curtis excels with his deadpan humour and perfect timing. The contrast between the two main characters matches that between the two actors, but its more a case of salt and vinegar than cheese and chalk, Moore and Curtis are perfect together, and together they are perfect for the show. Slightly camp 1970s comedy/action - perfect for Roger to make his indelible mark on the James Bond series, and a welcome change for Tony from his less light-hearted roles.Brilliant series, shame it only lasted a couple of years!

gcannavi only few shows so perfect: * roger moore and tony curtis charm * spectacular locations * fast cars * beautiful babes * roger moore's wardrobe * great soundtrack * I've always watched the spanish translated shows, which were funny and perfectly translated * rush and buy those videos in ebay/amazon and enjoy yourself * too bad this show wasn't very popular in this countrybeing that I was only 3/4 years old when these series were aired, I wish I had been 25 years old, affluent and lived in those awesome places.
