We just got home from spending Thanksgiving Day with the kids and grandkids and assorted family members, and the first thing I read when I got online is that Lewis Collins has died. I was shocked - in my mind he'll always be 30-something Bodie in The Professionals. I fell in love with that show in the early-early 1980's.

Pros was a very beloved fandom for me back in the day. I loved the characters and Bodie and Doyle were my first slash OTP too.

One of my friends pointed this out on FB tonight - that the boys always wanted to be Bodie.

You - after my BFF and her other BFF, who used to play Pros round their flat when they were, uh, 20 - were one of the first people I thought of when I heard the news. How special that show was to so many. Farewell Bodie...

I'm sad - the show and those guys were a huge part of my reality when I was in my 20's. Dominic, who was about 6 or 7, watched the show with us and then used to play Pros with his friend from down the street.

Pros was a big thing for me back in the day. I'm shocked and saddened; he was no age.

I'd seen a photo of him taken sometime in the last year or so, and thought he didn't look well, but I didn't imagine it was anything this serious.
