so, 'the professionals'.
hey hey HEY. yes, i like this. i've seen a bit of it in the past, mainly on uk gold, mainly while waiting hopefully for 'starsky & hutch' reruns, or while in the depths of a hangover or while trying to ignore my vile old flatmate/landlord and his parents on a weekend afternoon, but i don't think i was ever paying proper attention.
as a result, the series two dvds of this a thoughtful soul gave me as a present a while back have been sitting unwatched and unloved until now, but one episode in and i think i could add this to the list of current "enthusiasms". i had previously noticed this in passing, but goodness, bodie and doyle are SUCH BOYS. and better yet, the first episode (hunter/hunted) has a premise that goes:
doyle loses his mojo big, big gun. bodie helps him look for it. we learn that women are not to be trusted. bodie hits on a girl dressed as a boy in a pub. bodie threatens to torture and kill people in defence of doyle. eventually all is well.
in the interim they wear really, really tight jeans (and i stare happily at the screen) and have exchanges like so -
Doyle: He's teasing me. He's not just a nutter, he's a sadistic nutter. He's setting me up.
Bodie: Yeah, and you're just going to sit here and take it like a traditional nanny goat.
Doyle: Till he comes out to get me.
Bodie: And then what?
Doyle: You'll save me.

and there was car slagging. CAR SLAGGING. i love it when half of a buddy cop type pair is nasty about the other's car. jesus. maybe that's some kind of kink? oh, and i just remembered: bodie sitting up all night in his car outside doyle's place keeping watch then coming in to demand a cooked breakfast. that's, well, quite sweet, actually.
anyway, i enjoyed it immensely. also, bodie is a very attractive piece of rough. rar. but why did no-one ever tell me doyle's name is ray? that's got to be some kind of sign from On High.
