Anyone Can Play

A superb episode: as we see Danny and Brett on Brighton seafront in 1971; with scenes showing streets and roundabouts which are now clogged to a standstill almost free of traffic - there is even a car chase filmed in the town centre. This series has an amazing nostalgia quotient (ANQ); aided by a plethora of guest stars (many of whom being the loveliest babes of the era) Totally of its time, the series was repeated in an early afternoon slot on Sundays on ITV in 1976.

The basic plot of this episode concerns a simple chain of circumstances result, as in many episodes of this famous show. Nothing special, it is as dumb as usual, and only the two characters' charm and dialogues save the rest. It is question of an espionage, Behind the Iron Curtian Intelligence Services, plot and a beautiful "secret agent"...All the ingredients usually put in THE PERSUADERS. I also noticed Ed Devereaux - SKIPPY THE KANGAROO - as one of the villains. I repeat, nothing special. Not boring, just routine without anything that could make you remind this episode more than the others. But if you a PERSUADERS fan, watch it.
