Discovered in a Box of Baubles - 6th January 2021 - lads reunion
Can't remember where I got this one from - annoyingly I've not recorded provenience (bad me...), but I like the way it describes the lads as staying in touch, and how nice MS is about LC. *g*
Martin Shaw, who as Doyle in The Professionals, portrayed one of ITV's roughest toughest, and staunchest guardians of law and order, has a reunion with his old partner Lewis Collins (Bodie in the series).
The occasion was a previous of a block-busting adventure movie, Who Dares Wins, in which Lewis stars as an SAS man.
"It was good to see Lewis again," he said. "In fact, it was a bit of a reunion of The Professionals all round. Ian Sharp, the director, has worked on The Professionals, as have a number of the technicians employed on the film.
"I thought that it was a great, action-packed adventure film, and a good break for Lewis. He gives a first-class performance.
"Would I have liked to been in it? Well that's a bit of an unfair question. Frankly I don't think that I would have been as good as Lewis in that role. Its much more suited to him than to me.
"It's not the kind of role that I am particularly looking for, but on the other hand who can honestly say whether they would have taken a particular role had it been offered to them, and had the money been right. I just don't know. I only know that Lewis has done very well, and I am very glad for him."
