TV 081: The Professionals - The South Bank Orchestra
Bodie, Doyle and Cowley were the main characters in The Professionals which was created by Brian Clemens.
Laurie Johnson's original theme is outstanding and really takes me back to those early 1980s broadcasts. The version here is by The South Bank Orchestra and has been heavily criticised in the past. Pretty undeserved in my opinion - it's pretty funky and well worth a re-appraisal.

My criticism would be that it lacks the punch and impact of the original.
Even without the visuals, the original music is an exciting, upbeat piece of music which implies movement and action.
This version simply reads the music and captures none of the vitality of the original
