The Professionals: Mk IV

Long-awaited, long-overdue: The Professionals as you have never seen them before.Bodie and Doyle need little by way of introduction, but if the series had at all escaped you since its debut in 1977 their boss George Cowley, head of CI5, couldn't put it more succinctly than his opening gambit: anarchy, acts of terror, crimes against the public. To combat it I've got special men experts from the army, the police, from every service. These are The Professionals .Featuring the perfect ensemble cast of Martin Shaw, Gordon Jackson (completely against type here) and the much-missed Lewis Collins, the series ran for 57 action-packed episodes and made an immediate impact on British and then international audiences which has sustained 40 years. But the series has never looked this good. Painstakingly restored from the camera-original negatives the series could have been made yesterday. No matter how many times you have seen The Professionals, this is a new experience, like seeing it for the first time.Features:Brand-new, High Definition restorations of all 18 episodes in series four and five from the camera-original negativesBrand-new 5.1 tracks from original sound elementsRemastered original as-broadcast mono tracksRemastered music-only tracks featuring Laurie Johnson's original scoresHD photo galleries featuring hundreds of rare and previously unseen imagesRestoration featuretteATV Today: two newsclips featuring Martin Shaw and Lewis CollinsThe Professionals Serving the Professionals: outtakes from a 1982 NAAFI promoThen and Now The Location Files PDFPDF material featuring scripts and memorabiliaAll episodes are presented in their original production orderEnglish HOH subtitles
