Mission: Monte Carlo (Feature Film Compilation)

Notes

• Feature-length movie compiled from two unconnected episodes of The Persuaders!: Powerswitch and The Gold Napoleon.

• Bizarrely, this video cassette was copyrighted 1966, and this error would be repeated when Mission: Monte Carlo was reissued by Channel 5 Video in 1986.

• Other format releases: Betamax (BITC 2065) and Philips V2000 (CRITC 2065).

• Precision Video was the video label of the Associated Communications Comporation, which also owned ITC. It was launched in 1979 to take advantage of the nascent home video rental and retail market. At that time, three video formats - JVC's VHS (Video Home System), Sony's Betamax and Philips' Video 2000 - were fighting to become the pre-eminent home video system, a battle ultimately won by VHS. Precision Video, however, hedged their bets and released many titles in each of the formats and also occasionally experimented with the Laservision disc format.

• Precision Video releases were uniquely packaged in hard plastic cases, essentially audio cassette 'MusiCassette' cases but far larger. Variations were made to hold each of the cassette formats. In common with audio cassettes, these releases features double-sided inlay cards, the reverse sides of which contained cast and production credits and advertisements for other Precision Video titles.

Episodes

Mission: Monte Carlo (Feature Film Compilation)

Notes

• Channel 5 Video was named so as to suggest an alternative viewing programme over and above the four terrestrial broadcasters then operating in the United Kingdom - BBC1, BBC2, ITV and Channel 4. Channel 5 Video was a sub-label of Heron/PolyGram. A fifth British TV channel, coincidentally also monikered Channel 5, was finally launched on 30th March 1997 and had no connection with the by then long defunct video label.

• Feature-length movie compiled from two unconnected episodes of The Persuaders!: Powerswitch and The Gold Napoleon.

• As with the 1981 Precision Video release of this title, this video cassette was erroneously copyrighted 1966.

Sporting Chance (Feature Film Compilation)

Notes

• Feature-length movie compiled from two unconnected episodes of The Persuaders!: Someone Waiting and Anyone Can Play.

London Conspiracy (Feature Film Compilation) • Sporting Chance (Feature Film Compilation)

Notes

• London Conspiracy is a feature-length movie compiled from two unconnected episodes of The Persuaders!: Greensleeves and A Home of One's Own

• Sporting Chance is a feature-length movie compiled from two unconnected episodes of The Persuaders!: Someone Waiting and Anyone Can Play.

• The release date of this VHS video cassette is questionable as PolyGram's acquired the ITC library in Spring 1995, and yet this release, according to Amazon, predates that date. That said, the video sleeve artwork is copyrighted 1994 to Polygram, so potentially it was licensed to them by ITC.

Episodes

Episodes

To the Death, Baby • Angie... Angie

Notes

• After a long break, PolyGram resumes the home video release of The Persuaders!, continuing on from where ITC themselves had left off.

• These episodes and those on Volumes 10, 11 and 12 marked the home video debuts of the most of the episodic originals that had been previously released only as part of the feature films Mission: Monte Carlo, London Conspiracy, Sporting Chance and The Switch.

• PolyGram elected to number their Persuaders! volumes (from 9 to 12). ITC Entertainment Group had not numbered their releases in this way.

• Both episode titles are shown incorrectly on the video sleeve, with To the Death, Baby missing its comma and Angie... Angie inheriting it!

Episodes

Powerswitch • The Gold Napoleon

Notes

• The packaging bills Powerswitch as Power Switch.

• These episodes and those on Volumes 9, 11 and 12 marked the home video debuts of the episodic originals that had been previously released only as part of the feature films Mission: Monte Carlo, London Conspiracy, Sporting Chance and The Switch.

Episodes

Greensleeves • The Ozerov Inheritance

Anyone Can Play • A Home of One's Own

Notes

• These episodes and those on Volumes 9, 10 and 11 marked the home video debuts of most of the episodic originals that had been previously released only as part of the feature films Mission: Monte Carlo, London Conspiracy, Sporting Chance and The Switch. However, A Home of One's Own had previously been released by ITC Home Entertainment as part of the multi-series release Classic T.V. Heaven: The 70s - Volume 2.

• This release finally completed the first complete, episodic release of The Persuaders! on home video - it had taken two companies and three years from start to finish!

Episodes

Overture • Angie... Angie

Notes

• Carlton's edition marked the first time in the home video era that the series' original logo was used to market The Persuaders!

• These two episodes had been certificated 'U' (Universal) when released by ITC and PolyGram in 1992 and 1995 respectively, but this 2000 release was issued as a 'PG' (Parental Guidance).
