This review is from: The Protectors - Season One (DVD)

After the cancellation of THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. and appearences in some successful films (most notably the McQueen epic BULLET), Gerry & Sylvia Anderson inticed Robert Vaughn to return to the small screen in a 30 minute action-adventure series. As Harry Rule he runs a small security service that takes on special cases. Carried in syndication in the U.S. in the early 1970's, it was a pretty decent show that was to capture in 30 minutes the excitement of shows twice as long. A difficult relationship between Vaughn and the Andersons brought this show to a close after only 2 seasons. Sadly both Nyree Dawn Porter and Tony Anholt have passed away in the intervening years. Vaughn can currently be seen in the British series HUSTLE.

This review is from: The Protectors - Season One (DVD)

Being a fan of Robert Vaughn from his Man From UNCLE days, I purchased this set on a whim at Tower Records over three months ago (why does Amazon say it will not be available until November?) and was pleasantly surprised. These half-hour episodes are cleverly written and entertaining. The European locales also add an extra bit of flair to these shows. The acting is good--especially Space 1999 alumnus Tony Anholt. When will the Second season be released?

5.0 out of 5 stars First rate, June 22, 2004

This review is from: The Protectors - Season One (DVD)

This is one of a series of British television programs that shared the same pool of scriptwriters and directors. This series includes The Avengers, The Saint, Secret Agent Man, and The Persuaders. If you liked any of these you will like The Protectors.

The Protectors is a high-class detective agency that gets involved in international crime and espionage operations. Very much like The Avengers, the woman of the group, Nyree Dawn Porter, is very intelligent, resourceful, and attractive. She was the first choice for replacing Mrs. Peel when Dianna Rigg left The Avengers.
