The Persuaders! The Complete Series (DVD) New style

Contrary to some reviews, the episode 'Greensleeves' has been sourced from an inferior original master, which is a pity given the stunning quality of the rest.

Not the end of the world, I guess, just a shame.

This was always a brilliant series (even in 1971)to be honest,i have enjoyed the series more this time round on dvd.Excellent chemistry between Curtis and Moore from the very first episode.It is cheesy,but that makes it more fun to watch!Fantastic entertainment!!! buy it!!!

At last!...The Special Edition of the classic 70's ITC series, "The Persuaders!" which includes all 24 uncut episodes wonderfully remastered (check out those beautiful colours!) in a 9-DVD Box Set. Crime fighting with Curtis & Moore has never been as clear and colourful.

This is truly a great testament to a series that still holds a special unique blend of action and thrills for it's audience even to this day, more so than the few people who class this series as the epitome of everything that reeked Seventies 'Cheese'. Nevertheless, it's a good 'cheese' and in-demand too!

There are also some great extras on this set which includes a documentary featuring some hair-raising stories about Tony Curtis, image galleries from every episode and audio commentaries plus lots more.

If you're a fan, you'll love this and 'Network' have done a fantastic job with this series just like their great work with 'The Sweeney' DVD sets.

You won't be disappointed!

A classic example of cult TV at its best, Tony Curtis and roger moore star as two wealthy playboys who joyfully enter the spirit of fighting crime and seducing the women.

A shame this programme flopped in the U.S (no pleasing some people), the added bonus of filming on location only helps to make this one a winner; the U.K, France, Italy etc. Makes a change from all the studio-bound stuff from before.
Moore and Curtis have a brilliant on-screen chemistry, whether exchanging wisecracks, fighting the villains etc.

However, a word of warning is that there are foreign box sets available; these should be avoided at all costs due to the fact that they are completely different versions. The translator of the programme, Mr Brand, decided that the original one-to-one copy of the series would never succeed in Germany, and formed a new way of translation, where he added dialogues which never took place in the original version. He formed the story as far as possible in an interesting and exciting way and created one of the most loved foreign programmes in Germany's seventies. But this version one has to stand in English, although other countries took the German version as the "original" for their translation (e.g. France).Read full review...
