The Professionals, boiled down to one sentence per episode

Old Dog with New Tricks: Too much happens in this. Long Shot: A villain with a stupid accent has it in for Cowley. Where the Jungle Ends: Some people from Bodie’s past turn up and they’re not nice. Killer with a Long Arm: A villain with a stupid accent wants to kill someone who bears an uncanny resemblance of the Greek king and also the lads are so in love. Heroes: Shotgun Tommy has fun and dies doing what he liked best. Private Madness, Public Danger: Someone wants to poison the water supply and we don’t get nearly enough shots of soaking wet lads. The Female Factor: Some woman from Doyle’s past turns up and gets killed. Everest Was Also Conquered: There are Lesbians (one of them ends up dead, but so do a lot of other people in this episode). Close Quarters: Bodie’s holiday is sabotaged by some villains with stupid accents. Klansmen: Racism is bad. Look After Annie: George Cowley was in love once. Stake Out: This is not how nuclear bombs work but on the other hand we get nearly 35 minutes of the lads doing nothing in particular. When the Heat Cools Off: A case from Doyle’s past comes back to haunt him.

Rogue: CI5’s first agent ever has other plans. Hunter/Hunted: Someone has it in for Doyle and the lads are very much in love. First Night: Doyle nags Bodie about his eating habits. The Rack: I’ve been reliably informed that this isn’t how courts of enquiry work. Man Without a Past: Someone almost kills Bodie’s girlfriend of the week and he isn’t happy about it. In the Public Interest: Undercover as gay. Not a Very Civil Civil Servant: Crime also happens in the building industry. A Stirring of Dust: There are a lot of old agents and Bodie sneezes. Blind Run: Only George Cowley knows what is going on. Fall Girl: Some woman from Bodie’s past turns up and gets killed, also everyone is unhappy with everyone else. Backtrack: Ray Doyle has to fend off Marge Harper and Bodie is very amused by this. Servant of Two Masters: George Cowley plays everyone, part I. The Madness of Mickey Hamilton: Emperor Palpatine has it in for doctors and it’s all terribly depressing.

Stopover: The lads are chewed out by Cowley repeatedly and they go to a pub. Runner: The plot is overcomplicated but now we know that Ray Doyle is still in the habit of walking into Bodie’s bedroom when he’s got a girlfriend there and also slapping your colleague’s bum is apparently part of the procedure to disarm bombs. A Hiding to Nothing: People’s arses are relevant to the plot. Dead Reckoning: Bodie is a great big softie on the inside. Mixed Doubles: Goodies and baddies aren’t so different and there is a sleepover. Need to Know: George Cowley plays everyone, part II. The Purging of CI5: Someone has it in for CI5. Fugitive: The running tackle of love happens. The Acorn Syndrome: Some girl was kidnapped and Doyle has to fend off a bored housewife. Slush Fund: A hitman is contracted to kill a journalist and Bodie manages to convince the journalist’s wife that he’s a mildly competent burglar. Weekend in the Country: Bodie’s and Doyle’s holiday is sabotaged by some villains. Take Away: CI5 is part of an international investigation in drug trade that exploits the Chinese community and it’s all rather bleak. Involvement: For reasons unknown, Ray Doyle decides to marry but in the end he narrowly avoids the fate of Classic Who companions.

The Gun: Something about a gun and drugs. Wild Justice: Someone from Bodie’s past died and he isn’t happy about it. Black Out: An amnesiac woman turns up and the lads visit a lot of country pubs. It’s Only a Beautiful Picture: Bodie and Doyle have to repair to the country to defeat a smuggler. Blood Sports: Bodie plays cricket and later on he’s jealous because Doyle has an eye on the stepsister of a victim of an assassination. Hijack: A villain of the old sort ‘helps out’ a guy from the GDR embassy and Doyle’s girlfriend’s flatmate is caught up in it. You’ll be All Right: A criminal asks Doyle for help and Bodie’s girlfriend is annoyed because she gets roped into this operation. Kickback: Someone from Bodie’s past turns up and for a change he is sort of nice, considering. Discovered in a Graveyard: I can’t believe it’s not fanfiction. Foxhole on the Roof: A disgruntled villain wants to make a lot of money and holds hospital patients hostage. The Ojuka Situation: Charles Dance was young once and I don’t know why Cowley even bothers to tell Bodie to stay put when Doyle is in danger. Operation Susie: Everything goes wrong and this is not how chemical analysis works. The Untouchables: George Cowley arranges a girlfriend for Bodie to get rid of an assassin with a stupid accent.

Cry Wolf: A woman is stalked and taken seriously. A Man Called Quinn: A former agent was tortured for years and now has it in for Cowley, among other people. Lawson’s Last Stand: This is not how physics work. No Stone: Things go mostly wrong and Bodie and Doyle possibly adopt a dog. Spy Probe: The lads infiltrate an organisation of hitmen and Pros is possibly an elaborate fantasy developed by Tom from Waiting for God.
