About

"Suave rivals bicker their way through glamorous 70s Europe"

Two rich playboys from opposite sides of the Atlantic, a self-made Yorkshire tycoon and a titled American blueblood, get strong-armed by a retired judge into working as unlicensed troubleshooters, bouncing across glamorous European locales to sort out other people's messes. It's breezy, tongue-in-cheek adventure built almost entirely on the chemistry between its two leads, all bickering banter, sharp suits, fast cars and a famously groovy theme tune. Plots are thin excuses for the leads to spar, flirt and brawl their way through jet-set Europe with a wink at the camera throughout.

Watch it for

the effortless double act between Roger Moore and Tony Curtis carrying every episode.

Maybe skip if

you need tight plotting rather than style, banter and location scenery.
