Dean! Apart from the obvious (sexy AF)! He’s a great character, can fight, kick ass, save the world (many times), go to hell, eats pie, drinks beer, gets battered and gets back up, has a heart, did I mention the sexy bit? Not many shows can
Go 15 seasons (Most of them good) and to be fair if this was real life he’d be fooked with concussion from all the ass kicking and battles. But hes still smiling and even singing! He fights everything from angels, demons, vamps, werewolves and even Gods. So do the right thing, he is the all encompassing kick ass crime fighting winner. One of my nominees
And
he’s a ride

Too true Plenty - but watching the reruns on ITV4 this poster gets the impression that there are a few seconds cut here and there and some words dubbed over perhaps :pac:
Bloody "brigades". Cowley wouldn't stand for this pc rubbish :pac:
There's a good spoof of the show on youtube that pays homage using montages - it's dubbed over. If you have a spare 25 mins or so it might give you a laugh if you've not seen it before.

I'll take a look when I've time.
However, I've watched the full Professionals on said ITV4- (and the Sweeney too indeed, another cracker of a show)- don't think they were over-dubbed or "cut" within episodes compared to original, although there might be one or two episodes no longer shown due to nature of content (racism etc- not that the episodes themselves were being racist, but more that they dealt with racist issues in a certain way which may not be appropriate today). There's certainly 1 episode I think that's been withdrawn - might be Northern Ireland related, I just can't remember.0 -
Final
William Bodie The Professionals
Reason(s) appreciated please
Columbo had a kickass mind- But Bodie was just undiluted Kickass, with a pure 1970's non-PC approach to getting the bad guys- there's no room for sensitivity, feelings, psychobabble or in some cases, the law- KickAss just doesn't come more concentrated- oh yeah, and he was also once totted as the next James Bond after Roger Moore- Licence to Kill X 2!
Bodie- Final Answer0 -

Final
Lieutenant Columbo Columbo
Columbo for the win.
Doesn't need to use a gun, always gets his man ( or woman), lovely dog, great stories about his family etc.
great character and a great series.
Decent opposition he is up against, each who could easily win if Columbo was not nominated for the competition, but , alas, he was, so, that's that then.0 -

Vote Bodie so- women love him- men want to be him.
Infacta, some women want to be him and some men also love him- however, I do believe, if he were around today, he'd identify as "kickass".0 -

It actually won't. We've two 70's shows in the final- all those 80's, 90's, 00's and 2010's shows and two are from the 70s?
Naw:;)
(and yes, I know Cheers was an 80's show :P )0 -

Lieutenant Columbo Columbo
Doesn't need a gun to figure out who done it
Dean Winchester Supernatural
William Bodie The Professionals
Technically doesn't need a gun to figure out who done it
And Columbo has let too many suspects kill again

2nd place goes to lieutenant Columbo.
Columbo, he was a great detective and unassuming; maybe not as intelligent as the villains but he was a hell of a lot smarter. He always liked the perp early on and could lull them into a false sense of security, remain 2-3 moves ahead and eventually catch them because he missed nothing.
He read all the books and he was a true professional. The suspect only had 1 attempt at the crime and Columbo; well he'd seen 100s of crimescenes and did the investigations; so if he liked a suspect for something it was all over only they didn't know it yet. Even if he had no concrete evidence he could figure out a way through deviousness and trickery and count on the confidence/hubris or unawareness of the villain and catch them off guard and game over.
WINNER
William Andrew Philip Bodie
When it comes to being a kickass crimefighter it has to go to 3-7 of the CI5.
His kickass credentials in TV shows are unparalleled. He was so cool, like a young Paul Newman or Mickey Rourke but in Brit TV land.
He didn't hesitate - not for a second; saved his mate Doyle as often if not more than vice versa. He was proper hardcore and a hothead but even so he could compartmentalize that and be ice cool under pressure. While the show might have been farfetched and slightly comical, nowhere near as gritty as say for example a couple of earlier shows like The Sweeney or Kojak there is no doubt that Bodie as a character was extremely probable.
There is no doubt about it - you would not want Bodie after you :pac:
He was a James Bond type - rarely phased, cool, pretty as a mofo and a hardcore effin savage to boot. All his fightscenes, carchases and shootouts, as well as his mate Doyle's all looked realistic. I think they made the show what it was and I as a viewer believed what I saw from an action point of view.
Can't ask for much more than that from a "Kick Ass Crime Fighting Star" and that is why WILLIAM BODIE deserves to win

Thanks, glad you liked it :pac: :pac:
Us action/pretty boy- yet hardcore and rugged action character fans can appreciate proper badasses in a way fans of shows like supernatural (or whatever it's called) can't comprehend. That Dean bloke would leg it if Bodie was after him - he'd probably have some excuse like he's in a hurry for an Estee Lauder commercial.
And proper old school detectives like Lieutenant Columbo too. None of this made up fantasy/cgi malarkey 0 -

The film was wishy washy compared to the seriesDeleted User wrote: »I think I saw that recently; last couple of months or so. Was a film I think with Edward Woodward? I don't remember much of it other than Callan was pretty clinical too.
At the height of his powers then - round about the same time as 'The Wicker Man'.

Thanks Capt'n. Sounds like one to check out.
Never seen or heard of the series.... I'll have a lookout for it.... Maybe it's on Netflix or something, which I don't have.0 -

Any interest in a one hit wonder one season tv series tournament or would Firefly just fly through as the end winner
Just the idea of this has inspired me to check out some one season wonders I may have dismissed on account of them being prematurely cancelled, and have started with Selfie, which despite the crap name is actually very endearing and entertaining... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3549044/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_00 -
