The Persuaders!
Season 1
Comedy, thrills and suspense as two wealthy, international playboys, played by major Hollywood stars, are reluctantly drawn into a life of danger and intrigue. Danny Wilde (Tony Curtis) is a street-smart, self-made millionaire from the Bronx, Lord Brett Sinclair (Roger Moore) is an uppercrust member of the British establishment. In fast-paced, funny adventures set against a backdrop of the glittering capitals of Europe, the typical English Lord and the brash American thrillseeker get down to the serious business of ridding the world of villainy. With theme music set by John Barry (James Bond) this series is instantly recognisable and totally unforgettable.
