There had been many excellent ITC series before The Persuaders came along and most of them were entertaining to say the least. And Moore and Curtis exchanging banter together while fending off villains and chasing beautiful women was a pretty good recipe. But something seemed to have changed since the days of Randall & Hopkirk and The Champions. Sure, the two leads and the exotic locations made for 'good telly', but often there were signs of cheapness and penny-pinching. Some of the scenes looked hastily set up and had an air of 'that'll do' about them. Perhaps the best part was the big fat theme tune by none other than John Barry!
