Bodie and Doyle, top agents for Britain's CI5 (Criminal Intelligence 5), and their controller, George Cowley fight terrorism and similar high-profile crimes. Cowley, a hard ex-MI5 operative, hand-picked each of his men. Bodie was a cynical ex-SAS paratrooper and mercenary whose nature ran to controlled violence, while his partner, Doyle, came to CI5 from the regular police force, and was more of an open minded liberal. Their relationship was often contentious, but they were the top men in their field, and the ones to whom Cowley always assigned to the toughest cases.
I grew up with this show when I were a lad, and I totally loved it. It&#39;s still pretty cool…<br/><br/>Anyhoo, the second car I ever bought was a Ford Escort RS2000, and it was because I had seen it in The Professionals! Couldn&#39;t afford a Capri RS3100 - pity really.<br/><br/>And I just saw the funniest thing! I was watching an old episode of The New Avengers (Steed, Purdy &amp; Gambit for those in the know), which was called &#39;Obsession&#39; (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0659322/). Not the best of the series, but it did star Martin Shaw as the baddie! How cool. Then, all of a sudden, there was Lewis Collins as his trusty sidekick! Even cooler!! But the best of all was, towards the end of the episode, when the baddies have set their dastardly plan in place, Larry Doomer (Shaw) says to Kilner (Collins) &quot;Thanks for all your help, I couldn&#39;t have done it without you.&quot; To which Kilner replies &quot;We make a good team - maybe we should work together again…&quot; Brilliant!!<br/><br/>In case you&#39;re wondering why it was so brilliant - Obsession aired on 7 October 1977. Private Madness, Public Danger aired on 30 December, 1977.<br/><br/>Gotta love it!
great theme tune and opening credits! looking back The Professional are a bit cheesy and most stories tend to be they would find out lets say the turks are planning a hit so the guys visit some turkish cafe rough up the owner until he spills some info then they head off to save the day in the nick of time, brilliant !!!!

Yes, &#39;Hijack&#39; where a consigment of East German silver is stolen was based on a real robbery in the early 80s. The character of Krivas in &#39;Where the Jungle Ends&#39; is based on Costas Geirgiou, a notorious Greek-Cypriot mercenary from the Angolan civil war. The &#39; group in &#39;At Close Quarters&#39; is clearly based on the German Baader Meinhoff terrorist group (also known as the &#39;Red Army Faction&#39;) and the assassins in &#39;Long Shot&#39; and &#39;Mixed Doubles&#39; are extremely similar to infamous international terrorist Illich Ramirez Sanchez aka Carlos the Jackal. <br/><br/> Jon Finch was originally cast as Doyle but withdrew at the last moment as he did not wish to play an ex-police officer (ironically Finch was a former member of The Parachute Regiment and SAS, mirroring Bodie&#39;s background perfectly). He was replaced by Martin Shaw but when filming began the series&#39; creator Brian Clemens felt that Anthony Andrews playing Bodie lacked chemistry with Shaw and that the two looked too similar. Andrews was dropped and replaced with Lewis Collins who had appeared together with Shaw in an episode of Clemen&#39;s previous series, The New Avengers.
