	About The Persuaders CD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Persuaders made a comeback and performed in venues in Washington D.C., New York and Philadelphia and throughout the eastern coast.
		Tommy inherited the Persuaders name and responsibility of maintaining the group’s legacy and tradition and became the lead singer.
		Ron and Jay left with Vincent to continue to illegally perform as the Persuaders and sometimes deceptively using the pictures of Tommy, Richard, Alexander and David’s in flyers and on TV to advertise themselves for venues.

	The Persuaders! - Set 1
		No, anxious reader, "The Persuaders!" is not classic TV at its best, British or American.
		Furthermore "The Persuaders!" was never a hit, lasting for only two seasons, and never acquired cult status.
		The joy is not in the dismissible plots but in some genuine chemistry between the two leads and some pretty clever banter -- which has a certain unmistakable adlib quality.

	The Persuaders:Voice Booking Agency - "We Bring The Stars To You"
		The Persuaders CD Robert, Richard (The Poindexter Brothers), and Jacqueline Members-Poindexter (wife of Robert); who wrote and produced such hits as "Thin Line Between Love and Hate" and other classic songs for The Persuaders, also formed the group in 1965.
		While Tommy was in the hospital and in the presence of his wife, Verline Savage, to whom he left his estate and ownership of The Persuaders, he said to Richard, Alex and David, “You are the Persuaders, keep it going” and that's what we're doing.
		Tommy died a True Persuader and his presence is still among the Persuaders even to this day.

	The Persuaders! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The series starred Roger Moore, as Lord Brett Sinclair, and Tony Curtis, as Danny Wilde, both millionaire international playboys, but from very different British and American backgrounds.
		The inconsistent premise of The Persuaders television series is in aristocratic Sinclair being forced to team-up with rough-diamond-American Wilde in fighting crime in behalf of a judge (Laurence Naismith), or face jail.
		Given that the majority of the series was filmed in England (though with substantial location filming in France, Spain, Sweden and Italy) and was very English in flavour, it is perhaps not surprising.

	Mind control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The publication in 1957 of Vance Packard's The Hidden Persuaders brought the term to the attention of the general public.
		These opponents complain that targets of deprogramming are (1) victims of deception, (2) denied due process and (3) forced to endure more intense manipulation by their supposed rescuers than they encountered during their previous group membership.
		Eileen Barker documents that out of 1000 people persuaded by the Moonies [Unification Church] to attend one of their overnight programs in 1979, 90% had no further involvement.

	The Seattle Times: Arts & Entertainment: Why we are slaves to marketing
		One of "Frontline's" best productions all year, "The Persuaders" is a fascinating delve into how today's marketers influence our choices, from cheese to political candidates to Boeing's plush Dreamliner.
		That's where "The Persuaders" starts, by setting us amid the neural overload of Times Square and the musings of Ad Age magazine columnist Bob Garfield.
		A major theme in "The Persuaders" is the constant state of war between consumer boredom and marketing blandishment.

	The Persuaders (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		On the surface 'The Persuaders!' is all about surface.
		Stylish clothes (well, for the time, anyhow), fast cars, exotic locations, beautiful girls...but what shines out through the gloss is the performances of the two stars.
		There's an underlying theme of luck & chance (signalled by the roulette wheel of the opening credits), or more often than not the manipulation of luck and chance (coincidences are nearly always manufactured in the persuaders), but i think i should stop right there and just enjoy the superficiality of it all.

	frontline: the persuaders: watch online \| PBS
		In "The Persuaders," FRONTLINE explores how the cultures of marketing and advertising have come to influence not only what Americans buy, but also how they view themselves and the world around them.
		The 90-minute documentary draws on a range of experts and observers of the advertising/marketing world, to examine how, in the words of one on-camera commentator, "the principal of democracy yields to the practice of demography," as highly customized messages are delivered to a smaller segment of the market.
		While the techniques of the persuaders have become more sophisticated, consumers have never been more resistant to marketing messages.

	Medialunchbox - DVD : The Persuaders!, Set 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Between heroic spells as the Saint and James Bond, Roger Moore was teamed with Tony Curtis in The Persuaders, a derivative but fun series about a couple of millionaire dilettante adventurers who swan around the world competing for the attention of beautiful women and getting involved in perplexing mysteries.
		I first encountered "The Persuaders!" on a cable channel that showed episodes from the series as part of its "Mystery Friday" offerings.
		In a way it was a "missing link" in the transition from the great spy shows of the 1960s and the detective dramas of the 1970s, with elements from the former and foreshadowings of the latter.

		The continuing adventures of Danny Wilde and Lord Brett Sinclair on DVD - Set II consists of the remaining 11 episodes (13 were included in Set I) of this excellent British series of the early 1970s.
		As to "The Persuaders" featuring Roger Moore and Tony Curtis; the idea (a good one)was to unite two unmarried globe trotters who are rich, have a reputation as playboys and risk takers, and cause them to become a team that solves international problems.
		The TV audience at the time did and that is why the program was discontinued.

		As I recall, "The Persuaders!" aired on ABC-TV during the 1971-72 season (I did not know that it originated on the BBC).
		The concept of teaming two actors based on their movie marquee appeal did not appeal to me. Couple that move with a deadly time slot (Saturdays at 10pm, opposite the then-popular "Mission: Impossible") and you have a show that was doomed to failure.
		I have since watched parts of "The Persuaders!" on BBC America and found it somewhat amusing, but I still can't shake those rumors that Curtis and Moore were barely on speaking terms during the run of the series.

		When ‘Frontline’ correspondent Douglas Rushkoff explored the universe of advertising, he discovered that sometimes, we are ‘The Persuaders’.
		Among the elements of ‘The Persuaders’ are approaches that are, at once, comforting and terrifying.
		Another, equally effective part, is one man’s studies of primal codes that allow him to create ad campaigns that reach potential customers on a visceral level — he claims to have found the code for ‘luxury’, for example.

	hidden persuaders
		"Technically these hidden persuaders can be described as ‘statistical artifacts and inferential biases’ (Dean and Kelly 2003: 180)." Dean and Kelly argue that hidden persuaders explain why many astrologers continue to believe in the validity of astrology despite overwhelming evidence that astrology is bunk.
		Psychologist Terence Hines, who has explored many varieties of hidden persuaders (Hines 2003), blames them for the continued use by psychologists of such instruments as the Rorschach test, despite overwhelming evidence that the test is invalid and useless:
		Many skeptics have noted that the hidden persuaders sometimes seem to affect people in proportion to their intelligence: the smarter one is the easier it is to develop false beliefs.

		The Persuaders was never played seriously, this is very close to Moore's Bond and Saint, but it is pretty entertaining.
		In a 1971 Britain where the highlight of the year was in being converted to natural gas, 'The Persuaders' larged it and with glitzy comic panache.
		The humour, enjoyment and warmth they bring to their performances are clearly genuine and they stroll effortlessly through each episode, inviting the viewer to sit back and enjoy their exaggerated antics.

		Watching “The Persuaders” wasn't as eye opening as I expected.
