And will we ever forget the classic Comic Strip pastiche of the show – The Bull****ters?
Never…..imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

he could have been in the SAS were he not the possessor of “too high a profile face-wise”
Apparently he passed the entrance tests for the Territorial SAS but was rejected because of his fame.

‘The Professionals’ was required viewing in our household; I think it was the theme-tune more than anything else that made it seem exciting…
…plus the win-win combination of a Ford Capri and some cheap cross-ply re-moulds!
Lewis Collins / Bodie made ‘The Professionals’…..nobody I knew wanted to be Martin Shaw / Doyle!

He was 67
He started to believe he and the character were interchangeable and that he could have been in the SAS were he not the possessor of “too high a profile face-wise”
That was a little sad.
RIP
Moggy

70 – perhaps.:( Yes a good show but significantly it was “Doyle” whose career blossomed although Collins did other work, I think without great note. And will we ever forget the classic Comic Strip pastiche of the show – The Bull****ters?
