Time Warp

I've been watching season 1 of The Professionals on DVD. These episodes originally aired in 1977-78 in the UK, so I've been stunned by how many guest stars I've recognized, including Jeremy Bulloch (the original Boba Fett, and Edward of Wickham from Robin of Sherwood), David Suchet (Hercule Poirot from Poirot), Patricia Quinn (Magenta from The Rocky Horror Picture Show), and Lalla Ward (Romana II from classic Doctor Who). For most of these people, it's the first time I've seen them in another role.

Oh man, I LOVE Pros! In fact, for quite awhile my license plate was PROS CI5. :-) Now you're making me want to go back and watch season 1 myself. *g*

I am so late to the party on this show. I've been joking for years that I've seen so many Pros songvids at MediaWest that I've probably seen every single scene in the show, just not in order and without dialogue. Now that I finally have a region free DVD player, I decided to give it a go (that, and the entire series box set was massively on sale at UK Amazon--I think I got it for 80% off or something).

LOL! That's what happened to me! Many, many years ago at a ZCon I saw my first Pros songvid and fell in love with Bodie and Doyle, not even knowing a thing about the show itself. I was quickly hooked up with VHS tapes from many friends and my love for Pros was born. :-)

Congrats on getting the great deal from Amazon! I paid through the nose for each individual season. Painful, but worth it. :-)

Oh hey, I remmember that show! Don't have tapes anymore but do have the soundtrack still. Hmm, wonder if it's out on DVD for US viewers...

Nope, sorry. I bought my DVD set from the UK (I have an all region DVD player).

no problem, sorta of thought that was the case.
