Read Amber Wilkinson's film review of The Persuaders - Volume 5

Considering its age, this disc is a clean enough print. It was made during a period of limited blue screen special effects - putting people where they weren't - and blue lens work - indicating night time when shooting in the day - so that scrubbing up adds little. The sound, too, is nothing to write home about, although, again, given the age of the material, this is hardly surprising.

The disc carries precious little in the way of extras. Someone has spent a bit of time on the interactive menus, so that John Barry's super-catchy music gets a bit wearing if you are searching for a particular scene that you want to watch. The only other extra is a Stills Gallery - collection of snaps from the shoot.

The paucity of additional material means that this is a disc to be bought for the love of the original shows, or not at all.
