The Professionals

Who was best? Bodie or Doyle?

Bodie was sex on legs.

Both. At the same time.

Bodie, by far the hardest, well except for Cowley obviously. Doyle was a hardish but not in Bodie's league!

For a Geezer bonus point what was Bodie's first name? No googling!

William Bodie. In the episode where Doyle is accused of killing a suspect and the inquest is held in the cell where the death took place, Bodie's full name is given when he gives evidence. He has more than one christian name (whether it's 2 or 3 I can't remember) but in every episode he is only called Bodie, Apparently Lewis Collins is now living in America (Los Angeles I think) where he has a computer business. Shame he isn't acting any more as I think he would have made a brilliant Bond after The Professionals finished.

Can I have a bonus point for knowing Doyle's first name was Ray?

[newpotato]

Me and my brother used to play professionals when we was kids and we both used to be Bodie cos niether of us wanted to be Doyle!

pmsl newpot - just showed my dad and he said when him and my mum used to play doctors and nurses he had to be the ambulance driver!!! :-)

Bodie - gorgeous - I belonged to his fan club (blush..) when he was in the Professionals.

Although Martin Shaw is definitely getting better with age - he's very tasty as the priest in the new series that has just started on BBC1 tonight that I can't remember the name of!

Sorry no bonus points for Ray, that was used all the time on the show but Bodie's name only came known in the court room in one episode, Osprey gets the bonus point for William Andrew Philip Bodie.
