| LEVENE and
FRANKLIN in
"Persuaded"
With Nicholas Courtney and India Fisher
John Benton (John Anthony Blake Levene)
and Mike Yates (Richard Franklin) provide a striking contrast.
Nevertheless, they have a lot in common. Both are handsome and highly
personable, and both are magnetic to beautiful women.
Their meeting is unexpected, but
planned. Each receives an anonymous invitation to a luxurious Bournemouth
hotel. Their first encounters are
skilfully manipulated, climaxing in a good-humoured but none-the-less
vigorous fight which almost reduces the hotel restaurant to rubble.
Facing the prospect of imprisonment,
they find themselves at the mercy of their mysterious host, a former
General named Alistair Brigade (Nicholas Courtney) who berates them for
having become playboys but says he can help them. During his time in
military intelligence he had applied justice according to the law which
meant that many criminals escaped. In retirement, he has resolved to
correct the balance between law and justice and Yates and Benton are his
chosen instruments for righting legal wrongs.
Prison is their only alternative to
complying with his wishes. So they comply. And their first task has its
appealing aspects: to check out a lovely brunette by the name of
Honeysuckle Love-Fountain (India Fisher) who can be identified by an
intimate birthmark...
There Are Crocodiles Productions Ltd

DOCTOR WHO brand featuring two of its best loved characters and a few
