The Persuaders! is a 1971 crime series, produced by ITC for initial broadcast on ITV and ABC. It has been called "the last major entry in the cycle of adventure series that had begun eleven years earlier with Danger Man in 1960", as well as "the most ambitious and most expensive of Sir Lew Grade's international action adventure series".

It starred Tony Curtis, as Danny Wilde, and Roger Moore, as Lord Brett Sinclair, two international playboys. Much of the humor of the show derived from playful observations about the differences between American and British customs. The show ended after one season because it failed on US television. blank">The Persuaders! at Television Heaven

Despite the focus on the British and American markets, the show was popular elsewhere, perhaps due to the fact that most of the stories were set in continental Europe. It was allegedly sold to "every country in the world except _Russia, China and Albania". It won its highest awards from Australia and Spain, while Moore and Curtis were decorated in Germany and France for their acting. It persists in the memory of European filmmakers and audiences, having been casually referenced in 21st century productions from Sweden, Britain and Germany.

The concept began to receive renewed attention from the mainstream press when a Hollywood re-make was announced in 2005.

English Lord Brett Sinclair and American Danny Wilde are both wealthy playboys, they are teamed together by Judge Fullton to investigate crimes which the police can't solve. These two men are complete opposites, but become great friends through their adventures and constantly risk their own lives for one another. Written by Daniel Bolton
