I fell for Ray Doyle All the stories below are slash and were written for adults. Genre: Drama, Action/Adventure, AU ish! Slash, B/D First time. 197K Bodie and Doyle unexpectedly find themselves repeating a mission with worrying consequences for themselves and others. February 04 My grateful thanks to Stacey who was the first to read it, liked it and made a few corrections and lots of positive comments, and very grateful thanks and much appreciation to 'Sally', who pointed out some rather large discrepancies in the first half, insisted I worked on it a bit more and then edited the story word by word. She also accused me of watching too much Stargate. :-) Personally I think that's impossible, who could get too much of Daniel? Certainly not me. This is my first Pros story and I enjoyed writing it. Bodie and Doyle are a fun pair to work with.
Genre: Drama, Action/Adventure. Slash B/D First Time Summary: Given an unexpected, albeit somewhat risky, opportunity, Bodie takes it and runs. July 06

(the curly haired one) when I first saw the series, I even had a large poster
of him on my wall jostling for room with Queen, The Police, Alice Cooper, The
Stranglers ... I wish I remember what I did with it. My enthusiasm
for The Professionals
was revived when I came across fan fiction, and soon I fell yet again for the
fascinating Doyle, and renewed my acquaintance with William Andrew Philip - just
call me Bodie - of the killer smile, and the dour George Cowley. I have
recently purchased the four seasons worth of DVD's and have had a ball reacquainting
myself with 1980's Britain. While the technology might be very dated - no mobile
phones for our heroes, but large cumbersome
R/Ts - the
sexism blatant, the violence ever present yet never cartoon like and the police
cars make me laugh; the story telling, the acting, the humour and the camaraderie
between Bodie and Doyle, and the sharp tongued Cowley as well, is sublime.
This is Starsky and Hutch British style with a BITE. If I am honest, I'm not too
sure that I approve at all of anything like CI5. For a start consider its
powers, and be thankful that someone with the integrity of George Cowley is at
the helm. I also doubt that I would like Doyle or Bodie as real people, although
one of the reasons Ray Doyle has always been my favourite is that he thinks
deeply about what he does and is often very uncertain and unsettled about what
he is asked to do. He was a pol
iceman (drugs squad), he paints, he started a
sports club for 'black kids', he has been seen to cry and he is the one who
'cares'. Bodie by contrast has a somewhat less conventional career, having been a
bouncer, gun runner, mercenary and finally a sergeant in the paras seconded to
the SAS! He's more happy go lucky than Doyle, less troubled by what they do, less
introspective and far more callous - except when it comes to his partner! Bodie and Doyle complement each other, work well together
and they care about each other. If you want specific proof just check out these
episodes; Hunter/Hunted, Involvement, Mixed Doubles, Stakeout, When the heat
cools off, for a start and enjoy yourself.
