A much-loved comedy series starring James Bond actor Roger Moore has been given a trigger warning for 'violent' content on streaming service ITVX. The early 1970s show, The Persuaders!, follows two wealthy playboys, played by Moore and Tony Curtis, who reluctantly team up with a retired judge to solve cases.
Two episodes have been flagged for featuring fight scenes. In one, the pair investigate a drowning in the south of France and fight off gangsters. Another includes a scene where Moore's character fights a home invader, smashing him through a table. Guns appear in episodes involving jet skis and threats to a friend.
ITV stated: 'Programming that contains potentially sensitive or distressing themes, content, or language has carried appropriate warnings since our launch. We regularly review our catalogue to ensure the right guidance is in place for viewers.'
Despite the warnings, fans remain enthusiastic. One viewer described it as 'one of the best detective series ever', while another praised the 'on-screen chemistry' between Moore and Curtis. The series ran for two years before Moore took on the role of James Bond in 1973.
