The Persuaders!

Danny Wilde and Lord Brett Sinclair provide a striking contrast. Danny is American. A rough diamond, self-polished. He has dragged himself up from the New York slums. Making money is second nature to him. He has made fortunes and lost them. And he can always make another one. Brett is English, of course. His title is hereditary, and he has the polished perfection of his class. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he has spent his life licking the caviar off it. Tricked into a new life of danger and intrigue, Brett and Danny are friendly antagonists, reluctant heroes and far from infallible. But beneath their banter they have courage, determination and integrity. They are The Persuaders! The ultimate pairing of Hollywood’s Tony Curtis and Britain’s Roger Moore made The Persuaders! appointment-making television in the 1970s. With international guest stars, glittering settings on the Cote d’Azur and in other famous pleasure spots, glamorous girls by the hundred, and tingling adventure combined with exhilarating comedy, it’s no wonder the series still has all the sparkle of vintage champagne.
