Doyle: "Rich kid, filling her long day, collecting for charity. Time drags. I think maybe she's just trying to get attention." This was the final episode to be filmed. Apparently the boat scenes nearly ended in Lewis being drowned. There is a short scene of him hanging precariously out of the boat - in the first take he did fall out and was dragged underneath the water with his leg trapped in the boat for several seconds before Martin noticed! (Thanks to Louise Tilley for info!) Sheila Ruskin (whom we last saw in Season 1's controversial episode 'Klansmen') is wonderful as level-headed victim Susan, and it's fun seeing how Bodie literally 'crashes' his way into her life and affections.

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 In all, 14 episodes were withdrawn from broadcast. A gang of ex-mercenaries stages a bank robbery, attracting the attention of a major crime boss who offers to employ them. Bodie, himself an ex-mercenary, is determined to settle some old scores with the gang's leader. John Junkin was primarily a comedy writer and performer - particularly for BBC radio. But as that probably didn't pay very well, he had an occasional foray into acting and popped up in the most unexpected places and roles. Recently seen in EastEnders. Passed away in 2006.

A drug pusher murders an addict. His hastily discarded gun is soon found by a young boy. The pusher must get to the boy before the drug barons do. 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. [9] Minister: "You must try to master Whitehall jargon. I'll expect your reports on how you plan to implement them within a week." 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.

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... The grey Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow chassis no. SRH 2971, known as the most filmed individual Rolls-Royce ever in history, was part of the cars supplied by Kingsbury Motors Ltd.
