The Persuaders

This highly entertaining action/adventure romp was probably the most ambitious and expensive of ITC's filmed series. The Persuaders! were rough-diamond American millionaire Danny Wilde (Tony Curtis) and suave British aristocrat Lord Brett Sinclair (Roger Moore). Equally-matched and from different backgrounds, they were teamed, reluctantly, by Judge Fulton (Laurence Naismith) to solve cases the courts could not. Curtis and Moore are said to have clashed while filming it, but it wasn't serious, they loved each other really! Despite being a big hit in the UK and Europe, it was not successful in the USA and was cancelled after just one series of 24 episodes.
