I've just found out that Lewis Collins - one of the stars of The Professionals has died. Aged 67.

The Professionals (with the wonderful Bodie and Doyle) was one of my early "must watch" TV shows. I was totally drawn to Bodie and Doyle's magnetic partnership. It was so slash worthy (before I even knew that slash was a thing). Lewis was wonderful as Bodie. It feels like an era has (really) ended. :(

Oh! Such a shame! I used to love the Professionals too...I didn't know you got it over in the States?

I'm still in shock. Still the fandom I've been in the longest and written the most in.

I was thinking... this might actually be the first death among the bigger early slash pairings, mightn't it? I mean, Shatner & Nimoy are still with us, Soul & Glaser too... what was the next big slash pairing? The Professionals, I do believe. :(

I'm in Australia..;) And yeah, we got it here. Not sure if it aired at the same time as the UK though - maybe a couple of years later (?). But I loved it (I still bring out the DVDs and watch certain episodes).

I did think of you when I heard the news. Sad to hear he was battling cancer. :(

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Good point - and you're right. The first to go from those early pairings. :(

Ah you're an Aussie! That explains it. (The Professionals thing not other things --- although it probably does...LOL). We are still getting it aired regularly on one of the freeview channels.

haha..it really does explain things…;D

I haven't seen it aired here for ages. It's a classic though.
