Agree with you on that theme tune. Superb.^^^^
The Persuaders 2nd episode of 24 in just the one series.
A ITC Production, a very expensive one it was too securing the lead actors of Roger Moore & Tony Curtis. A lot of the scenes were filmed in the south of France & Italy as well as London.
Shown in the US on ABC around the same time. This was the reason why Tony Curtis was chosen, to sell it to a US Network & audience.
Granada & Anglia TV networks did not show it on Friday prime time, showing the drama/light comedy a day before, which must have annoyed Lew Grade(who commissioned the series) & the advertising executives.
Terry Nation wrote 7 of the episodes , 8 writers in all were used.
The best part of the programme looking back is the wonderful theme tune written by John Barry.
