Trivia
Because Sir Roger Moore deemed that no good photos exist of him as a child, the black-and-white boyhood picture of Brett Sinclair in the opening credits is that of his son Geoffrey Moore.

Quotes
[Danny kneels in front of a hotel room door, trying to pick its lock]
Danny Wilde: Spencer Tracy once took a pipe cleaner - an ordinary pipe cleaner - and by inserting it into the lock, and moving it around in intricate positions - you know, I could be a gentleman cracksman with this -
[Brett, who went out a window, onto a ledge and into the room through its window, opens the door from the inside]
Lord Brett Sinclair: There's no need to kneel, I'm a very democratic sort of lord.

Crazy credits
The opening titles credit Tony Curtis and Roger Moore by their surnames only, as the alphabetical CURTiS + MOORE.

Alternate versions
The episodes The Gold Napoleon (1971) and Powerswitch (1971) were edited together to create the film release Mission: Monte Carlo (1974).

Connections
Edited into Derrick contre Superman (1992)

One of the best detective series ever.

Maybe it's out of nostalgia, maybe it's because I've grown up with the series, but whichever way I choose to look at it, I come to the conclusion that The Persuaders was and still is one of the best detective/adventure/action/what-have-you-series ever created. Because even now, as I recently bought the complete series on DVD, and has been able to watch all episodes again, including many which I missed when they were aired on TV, I can't help but being endlessly charmed and entertained by it. Even though a lot of shows that gain cult-status tend to be more out of sheer novelty value, in the case of The Persuaders, I feel it is more than well deserved. Everything, from the utterly brilliant theme music by John Barry, the kitschy but superbly entertaining fight-scenes to the great chemistry between Moore and Curtis and the general high quality of the story lines, is just top-notch. Sure, it's silly and kitschy and very 70's, but then on the other hand, that's what's so great about it.

This is pure, shameless entertainment when it's at its best.
