1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t99QQIXez4M The opening theme]] by Music/JohnBarry.
2	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: ''The Persuaders!'' was very popular in France (where it is titled "''Amicalement Votre''" - Friendly Yours). The German dub (''Die Zwei'' - The Two) turned it from a genuine crime show into a HurricaneOfPuns and therefore made it a CultClassic.
3	* HilariousInHindsight:
4	** Creator/MichaelCaine is mentioned in "Greensleeves". Not only were he and Creator/RogerMoore close friends, but they would later co-star in the comedy ''Bullseye''.
5	** In "Chain of Events", the villain fools the government with a briefcase full of Literature/JamesBond books. Right after the series ended, Moore was cast as 007.
6	** Brett Sinclair drives an Aston Martin. Moore became the only Bond to not drive an Aston Martin in his films (unless you count ''Film/TheCannonballRun'').
7	** Literature/SherlockHolmes is mentioned a couple of times. Moore would play him in ''Film/SherlockHolmesInNewYork''.
8	** "Someone Waiting" has Moore quip [[Film/{{Casablanca}} "Play it again, Sam"]] years before he did so in ''Film/{{Moonraker}}''.
9	* RetroactiveRecognition:
10	** Moorehead from "Greensleeves" is played by Creator/ArthurBrough, who would later be best known for playing Mr. Grainger in ''Series/AreYouBeingServed''.
11	** Charlie from "Someone Like Me" is played by Creator/JohnnyBriggs, who would later be best known for playing Mike Baldwin in ''Series/CoronationStreet''.
12	** A taxi driver from "Read and Destory" is played by Creator/LarryMartyn, who would later be best known for playing Mr. Mash in ''Series/AreYouBeingServed''.
13	** An air hostess in "Overture" is played by Creator/NinaBadenSemper, who would later be best known for playing Barbie Reynolds in ''Series/LoveThyNeighbour''.
14	** The poacher from "A Home of One's Own" is played by Creator/TalfrynThomas, who would later be best known for playing Private Cheeseman in ''Series/DadsArmy''.
15	* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The clothes, hairstyles, cars and UsefulNotes/ColdWar scenarios place the show into TheSeventies.
16	* ValuesDissonance: The show being a product of TheSeventies, its treatment of women hasn't held up well, even more so in light of the 2017 [=MeToo=] movement.
