going on another ‘the persuaders’ rant because i can and noticing that overall there really is no reason why these two characters spend so much time with one another. unlike most television shows of the era it isn’t a “buddy cop” scenario where they both work for the same force or danny works for US intelligence across the pond. it isn’t like a sherlock-scenario where they both live together and have a private detective agency in a spare bedroom. it’s two men who have nothing to do with one another slowly but surely gravitating towards the other.

they don’t work for judge fulton (as much as it would seem like they do) instead it’s the age old “oh hello, it’s you again” scene and i adore it.

1970 Aston Martin DBS from The Persuaders driven by Roger Moore.

The most famous Aston Martin DBS is without doubt the one which appeared in the 1970’s British television series The Persuaders. Although it appears to be a V8, the car featured in the series was in fact a straight 6 equipped with DBS V8 alloy wheels. Chassis number DBS/5636/R, was registered as BS 1 (although in real life PPP 6H) and was painted in Bahama Yellow.

This DBS in the hands of Lord Brett Sinclair, was without doubt one of the stars of the series, opposite the DINO 246 GT driven by mischievous American Danny Wilde. The series was broadcast in Britain on ITV from 17th September 1971 to 25th February 1972, and in France from 3rd October 1972 on the ORTF’s second channel. It soon became a major hit. Unfortunately The Persuaders came to an end after only one season and a total of 24 episodes which are now considered cult TV. The "Bahama Yellow" DBS is fondly remembered by many, and several 6 cylinder and V8 DBS’s have been painted in the same colour by car owners who are also fans of the series.

Between April 1994 and Autumn 1997, the original DBS driven by Roger Moore was totally restored by Aston Works Service in Newport Pagnell and both Roger Moore at Pinewood Studios in 2003 and Tony Curtis at the Cheltenham Literature Festival in 2008 (two years before he died in 2010) signed the interior of the boot lid. DBS/5636/R is now owned by Ed Stratton who maintains the car with care but does not hesitate to drive it as often as he can, for the greater pleasure of the series fans.

One of my aunts and I are, again, doing a 'The Persuaders!' marathon and I ask you...

How come this hasn't turn into a big thing in Tumblr?

Look... I'm not usually a fan of shipping male leads but this show just lends itself to it... and (at least in the Spanish Dub) Tony Curtis' character makes jokes about it and for what I just saw on a Youtube short, he'd made jokes like that on set too!

C'mon tumblerinas do your magic!

In case that you need to know what this is about:

Lord Brett Sinclair (Roger Moore) and Danny Wilde (Tony Curtis) are two playboys that are recruited by a retired Judge to help him solve cases that he couldn't solve in the past.

It is never really explained why these two would be "dynamite!" as Judge Fulton says but Wilde has street smarts (kind of a juvenile criminal turned into oil-millonaire), Sinclair has... I guess, contacts and knowledge gained through his title, both of them served their countries and in a more confusing vein sometimes they have money and sometimes they don't (reason why the Judge can pressure them into doing his bidding).

Yes, in pretty much all of the episodes the main reason why they get involved is a girl (two if they are lucky) but sometimes they do end empty handed.

After a rocky start they develop a wonderful friendship based on picking on each other but with true love and care for each other's wellbeing. (And Danny calls Brett "my prince" A LOT).

I think that the most Tumbler-catnip episode for shipping is one called Angie...Angie where a Danny's old friend crosses paths with both and ends up being a person of interest. Brett is certain that Angie is guilty but Danny refuses to think so.

Is from 1971, only one season BUT SO WORTH IT. You can watch it here

Mas series vintage o retro para esta colección; en este caso me refiero a THE PERSUADERS (1971/72), en Argentina y en la mayoría de los países latinos fue conocida como DOS TIPOS AUDACES.En su haber una única temporada y 24 capítulos (apenas 5 meses y medio).

El show fue protagonizado por dos grandes y acá el gancho principal de la serie, el estadounidense TONY CURTIS y el británico ROGER MOORE.El primero era Danny Wilde y el otro Lord Brett Sinclair.Cada episodio costaba en la época 110 mil libras, lo que a dinero de hoy estaría cerca de los 2.5 millones de dólares.Esto habla de la gran producción que tenía y obviamente el coste las dos superestrellas protagonistas.

Ambos personajes se conocieron en un bar y después de gastarse tanto el uno al otro, se empiezan a pelear un poco tomados de más y dejando en ridículo a la gente y prácticamente destruyendo el bar.Por supuesto llega la policía y los meten presos por pelearse.

Son llevados en una furgoneta y son dejados frente a una casa (obvio todo estaba preparado), en la cual entran y son encontrados por el juez Fulton (ya retirado), que les ofrece tres meses de cárcel o hacer un trabajo de identificación de una chica quien es la hermana de un gánster, que domina todo el mediterráneo y a quien creían muerto y ese es el plan, encontrarlo.

Cabe aclarar el título original que españolizado seria Los Persuasivos, dando a entender que son gente que tiene la capacidad de persuadir o convencer.Como dije la serie fue más que breve, y no hizo más que alimentar un poco más el gran éxito que habían cosechado los dos, de mas esta decir que ROGER MOORE ya se venía perfilando para ser el próximo James Bond y TONY CURTIS un actor y comediante de primera.

Se cuenta que Curtis fue llamado casi que de urgencia para hacer su papel, el cual acepto inmediatamente. Dicho personaje habia sido rechazado por algunos actores muy importantes.Curtis viajó inmediatamente a Londres a empezar las filmaciones.En la producción estaba Moore que creía que era imperioso o muy importante un estadounidense como coprotagonista, para que la serie fuera emitida en Estados Unidos.

Estos personajes eran muy diferentes uno del otro, Danny Wilde había nacido en el Bronx, había estado en la marina, y se hizo rico con los negocios inmobiliarios y una compañía petrolera, era el contrapunto de Brett Sinclair; quien resulta ser un aristócrata inglés, criado en Londres, muy atildado en su condición de noble, sobrio y elegante.Ambos llevan una vida de playboy, hasta que se encuentran con aquel juez que los pone a trabajar juntos.

Enseguida se nota la química, a pesar de los contrastes entre ambos.Lo cual hace que la serie sea agradable.Hoy ambos actores están fallecidos, Curtis en 2010 y Moore en 2017.La música de John Barry acompaña la apertura de la serie.Mi puntaje para esta serie es de 7.5/10.Un clásico difícil de igualar hoy en día con dos grandes estrellas.

Roger Moore as Lord Brett Sinclair and Tony Curtis as Danny Wilde in the television series ‘The Persuaders!’, circa 1971

[harleiquina]

Loving that both were in it with their acting choices...

are you crazy? first you hide it where any dum-dum can find it it wasn’t a very good place, was it? then you hand it over just like that then i clocked you and saved your life

[andreacasadei]

come non ricordare “Attenti a quei due” ? una intera generazione si era divisa nel sognare di essere Sir Brett Sinclair o lo scanzonato Danny Wilde... Io sempre Danny, tutta la vita...

[basicallyarogermoorestanaccount]

Roger actually designed some of his own clothing during The Persuaders!! I love how he is always very fancy in The Persuaders, also how his style reflects against Dannys, where Danny would usually wear a leather jacket whilst Brett would wear a smart blazer!! And i love how over the top he is!

I've been thinking about this ever since I drew three of Roger Moore's roles together, but Brett's fashion sense really differs from Moore's other roles. (At least James Bond and Simon Templar) I feel like costuming is really helps define this role separately from some of Moore's other roles. It's not said enough, but it's an aspect to really pay more attention to.

It makes a lot of sense, given how it satirizes the British aristocracy! Brett just feels a bit more over-the-top in a way. At least in contemporary society, it mirrors the view of the aristocracy as posh and the costuming exaggerates that point at times.
