Useful Stuff: Professionals/The Chief Crossovers

[m31andy]

I've found I've quite a kink for Professionals/The Chief crossovers. Especially where it turns out that Ray Doyle and Alan Cade are the same person. It's especially weird due to the fact I've never seen the Chief and I've no real intention of rectifying that deficiency

Not quite on topic but...

I've seen other crossovers too, based on characters that MS has played. He's played so many coppers/law men that I suppose it really shouldn't be a surprise (he was actually the first one they offered The Equalizer to, Edward Woodward taking it after MS turned it down).

I recently saw one where Doyle and Judge John Deed were the same person. There appear to be a few writers hard at work on crossing Pros with ALL of MS' later shows... I even saw one with George Gently recently.

Oh, and I LOVE the typo in your last sentence! *eg*

I missed that!

(And now I've got to keep it, damnit!!!)

Yeah, there's a couple of John Deed ones I've spotted. I've not come across a George Gently one though - that shouldn't be too difficult.

I'm still waiting to find a Citizen Chauvelin/Bodie crossover. Now *that* would be mighty fine.

*G*

Oh yes have I mentioned recently that I love you - great list.

I remember enjoying the first couple on the list especially. But then I always like the tragic separation and reunion thing. And I've seen the ones with John Deed as well. *tries to remember the names* *fails* *wanders off to search for them*

Not this week, I think...

Thanks! As I thought it would be of use to me, I thought I would post it up in hope it would be of use to other people (and, of course, prompt the revealing of any I've missed...) - I've always loved the tragic separation and reunion fics, which many of these embody, which is most likely why I've got such a kink for them.

The Tangled Web and Whatever Happened to Raymond Doyle?, in particular, are wonderful fic. And I've read both of them several times now. Hmm, the second may stand up to *another* reading, if I can't muster any enthusiasm for my ficathon fic...

[saintvic]

Can't think of any you missed but if I find any I'll let you know.

Hell I know that feeling. I've spent the day reading lots of mikey's fic using the new story she posted as an excuse to do so.

Must write something, anything. Damn it.

*goes back to looking for Pros/Judge John Deed crossovers instead*

Hello there! :-)
This is a great list, I love a good Bodie/Cade-who-is-really-Doyle fic too! *g*
You may want to have a look at The Hatstand here, which has a list of non-Pros character stories including Cade, although some may not be online.

[m31andy]

Thanks! There are a lot on that list that aren't linked (though I note that several that are up on the Circuit Archive that have missing links), so I shall have to hunt them down!

There's one, I think, that isn't on the list - I shall add. I'm not going to add the Gloria Lancaster ones, though, as, unfortunately, she never finished the sequel. Which is a great shame as it was shaping up to be a wonderful story.

Yes I agree, actually I wrote to GL about 18 months ago (just cos I love her fics) and I did mention about this unfinished one, and she said she'd recently had some more thoughts on the story and maybe there would be more....so we can but hope!
