crlmhr71 First of all, I just can't believe how many fans. Great, most of all for those like me, who grew up so far away.I remember the series being broadcast in my country, madly in love with both, I adore Doyle's curly hair, I think it was perfect for him. The clothes? maybe I would have changed his tight jeans but that's it. There is a look of his with a white jacket (or is it a knit vest?) with a blue shirt and he looks fantastic. Bodie? adorable, I wouldn't change anything.....except for that red shirt he used in one episode. Love them cause they were part of my youth and of course there were other series at the time but The Pros got something (the camaraderie and friendship in spite of the difficulties of the daily work, no matter what, including some disagreements and hard facts, they will take care of each other).Besides, the series resume the 70's in all of the senses (colors, style, etc).

debbiecurtis This has got to be one of the most popular hardman TV shows ever - it ran from 1977-83 on UK TV.Lewis Collins And Martin Shaw were superb in this - great action scenes and car chases in Ford cars - the show was known for the Capri - The theme music became a hit - by Laurie Johnson and the titles are one of the most memorable in history with the Granada smashing through the glass. Bodie and Doyle were easy on the eye and massive icons at the time - the first series was filmed in and around Buckinghamshire - Close quarters on the Thames at Boulters Lock and Maidenhead - Classic TV of the time - lots of beige ! And the best bit is that it was before we all became PC correct and health and Safety obsessed - if you have not seen this show go and buy it on DVD .

flynn82001 The professionals was excellent in all its ways,I mean it changed the way police series were made in Britain.It showed the crime as it was and that's why for certain people was a bit violent. The actors played their parts very well , the cars chosen were excellent and the plot of the episodes cleverly written. Today we can enjoy of series such 'Vincent^,'New Tricks^'Prime suspect^and even the great Ìnspector Morse^,thanks to The professionals. In Argentina was a genuine success since the first moment it appeared on television, and it was repeated in a channel called Retro , which shows old series with a great success as in his golden years. Martin Shaw was and still is my favourite one, Gordon Jackson was a superb boss for both detectives Bodie and Doyle.

redgloria Having discovered "The Professionals" some 25 years after it was first on, I wish I had seen it when it was on. Martin Shaw is fantastic as Ray Doyle as is Lewis Collins as Bodie. This series, while it has its flaws, is much more entertaining than 90% of today's television shows. "Klansmen" was an amazing episode and one that epitomizes the talent of Martin Shaw.I certainly wish there had been more than 57 episodes as there was still so much that could have been developed between the partnership of Bodie and Doyle.I do wish they had cut back the George Cowley part so that we could have seen 4.5 and 3.7 more. It was not too believable to see Cowley running all over the countryside when he should have been at his office. He needed to learn more about delegating authority.
