dimity_blueThe Professionals is on Amazon Prime and it's been remastered. Tha also means the episodes are in a completely different order. Season 1 started with Old Dog With New Tricks (which was originally season 1 episode 3, according to the IMDb).
The second remastered episode is Long Shot (season 1 episode 11). It's studded with familiar faces! There's Roger Lloyd Pack as Ramos, a hired killer. Nadim Sawalha as Sheikh Achmeia (one of 3 roles he appeared in). Ed Bishop as Dr. Ernest Harbinger (one of 2 roles he appeared in). John Horsley (a regular on my favourite You Rang, M'Lord?) as Mitchell, a millionaire (one of 2 roles he appeared in). And Robert Gillespie as Sammy (one of 2 roles he appeared in).
As you can see, The Professionals loves reusing actors.
The story runs thus: Ramos, a professional assassin is hired to kill George Cowley. As back up insurance, he kidnaps the daughter of Mitchell, a millionaire. His first attempt on Cowley's life goes awry but it's believed his target is a visiting American, Dr. Harbinger. The race is on to find and stop Ramos before it's too late.
Dun dun dun!
