The Persuaders! Collection

And here they are together, The Persuaders!  Lord Brett Sinclair works better as one of a pair than he did on his own. I'd start with The Persuaders.

What I find fascinating about The Persuaders! is that when the series was sold to German TV, rather than translate the script into German and overdub it, the Germans played the Eric Carle Magic Roundabout trick and rewrote it, racking up the cheese and comedy levels. I've seen an  few of the original episodes now and can see how much they'd benefit from this.  Wouldn’t it be great if someone could get hold of those German scripts, translate them into English and overdub the original episodes with this alternative script?  Maybe with a couple of impresssionists playing the Curtis and Moore roles?  It would be amazing.

Anyway, here are links to the two separate portraits:
