The Protectors

Each of the world's major cities has its best detective agency, and each of these has its best agents; super-agents like The Protectors. The most sensitive, baffling, dangerous assignments are handled by this trio of adventurers with no equal among private eyes. In their nerve-tingling assignments, they function as a highly trained team, but they know that the next mission might mean death and they live as if each moment were their last. Robert Vaughn stars as Harry Rule, the suave American who leads their operations and works from a London office; Nyree Dawn Porter is the elegant, Rome-based Contessa di Contini, and Tony Anholt is Paul Buchet, a French agent operating out of a Paris apartment. Produced by Gerry Anderson and Reg Hill, this glossy, stylish series was one of ITC's most lavish and ambitious projects, boasting intriguing, action-packed storylines and location filming in some of Europe's most glamorous cities.
