  • The Persuaders - Made in 1971 action/adventure series, produced by ITC Entertainment for initial broadcast on ITV and ABC.
    The Persuaders titles and synthesiser theme, music by John Barry, establish the background and current identities of the protagonists via split-screen narrative technique: two folders, one red, one blue, labelled Danny Wilde and Brett Sinclair simultaneously narrate their lives. As the biographies approach their current ages, the screen splits diagonally, connoting their excitingly peripatetic lifestyles. The conclusion shows them together enjoying a life of sport, drink, women, and gambling. The titles were specifically designed so that neither actor would appear to have top billing, something both Moore and Curtis stipulated when they agreed to co-star.
    CAST:
    Tony Curtis as Danny Wilde
    Roger Moore as Lord Brett Sinclair

    I think 46 years on, this is still one of the bet intros to a series EVER. I never tired of watching it. The duality of their lives. Nature versus Nurture and yet they came together. Well fellas, I hope you're both steaming down to Cap Ferrat in the Ferrari tonight. Happy trails xx

    The greatest TV theme ever recorded.
    Those who have put a “thumbs down” to this are mentally unstable and devoid of any taste or musical acumen.

    The Persuaders is an 🇺🇸 american-🇬🇧 english classic series from the 60es.Roger Moore and Tony Curtis work as Detectives in a elegant and rich area of London.Both actors play excellent and the witty screenplay is sheer joy to hear.The soundtrack captures the mood of swinging sixties area well.The colors and lightning of this series are smooth and relax the viewer.The "Persuaders" is a refreshing experience and a tv classic.Even if the stories in the episodes are rather unlikely.Good.

    Persuaders was one of the first TV series that really fascinated me. I loved the opening theme and the debauched interpretations of Roger and Toni.
    Big nostalgia of that time. Of innocence, of everything.

    Roger
    Moore: He comes in my childhood memory as I used to seat with my late
    father watching his favourite TV serial “The Saint” as “Simon Templar”
    and “The Persuaders” in a wooden, black & white, valve, Philips TV
    with wooden doors. That TV used to turns on 2 minute later after turning
    on the TV switch. This is about Roger Moors and my childhood memory.
    Both of the persons have gone. My father passed away on the 15th April
    2017 and Roger Moors passed away yesterday on the 24th May 2017.

      It's brilliant because it makes you understand who they are, how were their lives before they met. Even a person who has not seen the show immediately gets what it is all about and why those characters are so interesting together. Judge Fulton had basically the same idea than the showrunners lol. I think it's my favourite show opening.

    The funny thing is that the show didn't make up in the U.S. but was a blockbuster in Germany («Die Zwei», The Two), Spain («Los persuasores»), Italy («Attenti a quei due», Beware of those two), France («Amicalement vôtre», Amicably yours), Sweden («Snobbar som jobbar», Snobs at work) and even in the USSR («Syščiki - Ljubiteli ekstra-klassa», Extra-class amateur detectives) :-)

      The failure of The Persuaders in the USA convinced its producer, Lord Grade, to stop trying to crack network prime time and tackle feature films. That ended unhappily with Raise the Titanic, of which he said 'It would have been cheaper to lower the Atlantic'.

      Most of the show, indeed, was grounded on the cultural clash between two stereotypes, the English aristocrat and the American self-made man.
