''[[The Professionals]]'' was a British TV action series made from 1977 to 1983. The show follows the adventures of [[Government Agency of Fiction|Criminal Intelligence 5]] (CI5) agents William Bodie, Ray Doyle, and their boss George Cowley. CI5 deals with serious crime beyond the capacity of the police, and are authorized to use any means (including illegal ones) to do so. Being a typical show [[The Seventies|of the times]], much of the action centres around girls, guns, car chases, and drinking. It was a major inspiration of the Japanese manga ''[[Appleseed]]'' and its sequels, such as ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]''.
It's [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1370843/Seventies-crime-series-The-Professionals-007-treatment-big-screen.html rumoured that there's a remake being made], prompting a collective [[Big No]] from the fandom. There was, however, a revival (''CI5: The New Professionals'' in 1999), which wasn't warmly received. To put it politely.
