Excellent. 

[LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH]

This theme is fantastic, on a par with 'The Persuaders,' theme, which is REALLY saying something. John Barry creativity was boundless, what a genius! Italian melody, heavy synth & bass sound-such brilliant atmosphere. Awesome.

Gene Barry was a very elegant and talented actor and I believe that he will call attention to new generations whom discover him.The problem today is that with all of technology we have, TV has evolved back in a bad taste with reality shows that insult the intelligence and criteria, chauvinist writers that believe themselves that they are in a right track with a globalized world where other countries and markets compete. British Tv was great in the 60s and 70s and some way the 80s.

Similar to "The Persuaders" but none the worse for it. I barely remember this series but I liked Gene Barry. Unfortunately I have heard that he behaved like a wanker during production of this series (similar to Robert Vaughan in "The Protectors") but I suppose that recognising that even childhood heroes have faults is all part of growing up. I am nearly 53. Can it still happen?

Man, I remember this!!! Memories

Not ITC's best series, but in my estimation, it's best theme. Full of zithers, glockenspiels, and God knows what else. So moody and atmospheric. Really incredible. The series itself? Flawed, but enjoyable. And to me, fascinating. I was born around the time this show was broadcast, but I'd rather watch this than any episode of CSI or Law & Order!
