The Persuaders (1971) 24.10.2020 49:58

Join Adam and Heather this week as they journey back to 1971 to ogle ladies and punch bad guys on the chin - it's the Tony Curtis / Roger Moore ITC romp The Persuaders. Will Adam enjoy its dubious retro charms, or will he sneak back to 2020 while Heather isn't looking and rewatch Ghosts instead?

Heather and Adam discuss the BBC's 1984 adaptation of John Christopher's The Tripods: a TV serial about three boys wandering slowly across Europe, but disappointingly few of the giant alien machines of the title. The Tripods was Adam's choice - what will Heather (a fan of glossy 60s spy shows) make of this incomplete mid-80s curio? Ozymandias requests that you like, rate and subscribe. 'Tis the on...
