I like the comment below the article by Brice Dawson. He says that he currently watches The Pro's on copies he made from VHS recordings from tv & that he hopes the restorations 'better be an improvement over my copies'  |

I never saw this series but I heard it wasn't great. Judging by that clip the hearsay was right

I did see a few on Sky when shown in 1999 and being diplomatic they weren't that good.  However when Sky picked it up they chopped approx 10 mins out of each episode and David Wickes and others weren't too happy with the end result stating the episodes became disjointed, didn't make sense and weren't as he intended. Still probably not a patch on the original even in full form. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CI5:_The_New_Professionals#Broadcasting_issuesShame ITV never really picked up on this when a remake was bandied around in the mid 1990's and also would have been so much better if Lewis Collins was brought on board too - perhaps they tried and he didn't want to know (fair enough).  |
