'The Persuaders!'
Available from today, Network’s DVD release of The Persuaders! features the Saint episode ‘The Ex-king of Diamonds’ amongst the impressive list of extras.
Danny Wilde and Lord Brett Sinclair are two millionaire playboys – one a self-made man who battled his way out of the New York slums and the other a peer of the realm, born into money – who are duped by a retired judge into righting wrongs in a series that combines action, style, humour and panache in equal measures. This show is widely regarded as one of entertainment mogul Lew Grade’s most memorable and glamorous ITC productions.
