Notes

• These feature films are compilations of the following episodes:

  • The Persuaders! (Overture and Five Miles to Midnight)

  • Mission: Monte Carlo (Powerswitch and The Gold Napoleon)

  • London Conspiracy (Greensleeves and A Home of One's Own)

  • Sporting Chance (Someone Waiting and Anyone Can Play)

  • Death Becomes Me (Someone Like Me and Death in the Family)

  • The Masqueraders (Element of Risk and That's Me Over There)

• Reconstructed in widescreen from restored High Definition masters, these eight feature films were designed to offer an entirely new movie experience, as might have once been conceived by the producers and distributors had they had the time and technical resources to create something beyond just splicing two episodes together with minimal bookending.

• Only four of these feature films - Mission: Monte Carlo, London Conspiracy, Sporting Chance and The Switch - were originally completed in English, with the other feature-length edits being screened in mainland Europe.

• Released as part of The Persuaders!: Take 50, a bundle comprising this Blu-ray set, a Blu-ray The Persuaders! at 50 and a book, The Persuaders! The Time and the Place by Jaz Wiseman.
