Description

To be honest, the plot premise doesn't really make sense: why bother to merely scare the girl when surely the most effective thing to do would be to kidnap her? Anyway, I'm giving the story away a bit, so I'll not comment on that further. Overlooking that point, the tension of the situation is effectively maintained all the way through. Rona Anderson does a splendid job as Susan's mother and has a nice sense of comedy...

Some quarters of the British press seized on these aspects to insist that the programme was moronic and "comic-strip". However, reaction from other critics, including The Times and The Daily Telegraph newspapers, was more favourable. [ citation needed] Best action scene comes in the shoot-out at Susan's apartment. (I think Lew is being doubled when he jumps from one balcony to another). The closing scenes at the airfield aren't bad, either, if a little unrealistic. A psychologist tries to convince CI5 that Bodie's mental state is putting both him and CI5 at risk. In Spain, the series The Professionals was broadcast for La 2 of Televisión Española from March 1978. Cowley's two best agents are Ray Doyle ( Martin Shaw) and William Bodie ( Lewis Collins). Doyle is an ex- detective constable who has worked the seedier parts of London, while Bodie is an ex- paratrooper, mercenary and Special Air Service sergeant. Of the two, Doyle is the softer, compassionate and more thoughtful character, while Bodie is ruthless and more willing to take on criminals on their own terms. That said, Doyle is more hot-headed and tends to rush in, while Bodie waits for the shooting to start.

The Professionals

And the overall storytelling is full of plot holes, too. For example it's never explained why the KGB agent suspects Doyle of being an infiltrator - nor why he does NOT think the same of Bodie. And it seems a bit too convenient that Williams hides himself in the car, petrified by the thought of having to assassinate somebody. David Swift, Jeremy Young, Stuart Wilson, Lynda Bellingham, Victoria Burgoyne, Timothy Carlton, Chris Sullivan An unpopular US politician is assassinated by masked men at a set of bogus roadworks on a busy highway, and CI5 is forced to protect the witnesses when a newspaper irresponsibly publishes their names.

In the late 1990s, the complete run of 57 episodes were given a UK VHS videocassette release by Contender Entertainment Group. [35] An earlier release had seen 31 episodes issued before the distributor went out of business. [36] Rahad: "No, no, Mr Cowley - this may concern you. I have to register the strongest complaint about the fact that I am being followed."

A gang is exporting rare antiques and top-secret industrial equipment, using the ignorance of Customs and Excise in foreign countries. CI5 decides to set a trap.

They fake an assassination, but Keller has an alternative agenda.An off-duty Bodie arrests the leader of a German terrorist cell. Pursued by the rest of the gang, he and his girlfriend hole up in a country vicarage, but find themselves under siege and unable to call for help. Government department MI17 tries to cover up its bungled drugs raid involving South American nationalists. Since it was first broadcast in West Germany in 1981, the show ( Die Profis) has become a cult there. During its broadcast run, the public television service ZDF, due to concerns over politics and violence, did not air all episodes of the programme, so The Professionals became one of the first TV shows ever to be released on VHS in Germany in the 1980s. However, only the unaired episodes were released on tape. In all, 14 episodes were withdrawn from broadcast. Bodie and Doyle originally carried 9mm L9A1 Browning pistols as their standard service sidearms for the first two series. They were issued .44 Magnum Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolvers when on bodyguard duties (as seen in the episode "Mixed Doubles"). [6] In later series Bodie carried a .357 Magnum Smith & Wesson Model 19 snub-nose revolver and Doyle often carried a 9mm Walther P38 as their personal sidearms. George Cowley carried a .38-calibre Smith & Wesson Model 36 snub nose revolver.

The show was also criticised for political incorrectness. Mary Whitehouse, President of the National Viewers' and Listeners' Association, was among those who highlighted the occasional use of sexist and racist terms. [8] As an example, in the closing credits of the episode 'Stake Out' two supporting actors are identified as 'Attractive Blonde' and 'Handsome Negro'. At the time such dialogue or descriptions were not seen as being disparaging towards minority groups. However, in the late 1980s and early 1990s the series was criticised by feminist groups. Yet, with the exception of "Klansmen", for which racist terms were a necessary part of the story, use of such terms in The Professionals was scarce in comparison to, for example, the 1970s police television programme The Sweeney.
