The Professionals MkI Viewing Notes by Andrew Pixley (Network, 2014 Special Edition Book)

An exceptional, highly specialized archive text for British television history devotees. The Professionals Mkl Viewing Notes is a comprehensive, standalone 176-page production book written by renowned television historian Andrew Pixley and published by the cult archive television label Network Distributing in 2014.

This meatier book-bound volume was strictly released as an exclusive companion piece bundled inside the deluxe, remastered The Professionals MkI box set and was never available for separate commercial retail purchase.

Leveraging unprecedented, definitive access to Mark 1's original 1977 production paperwork, scripts, and logs, Pixley constructs an exhaustive, day-by-day account of the making of CI5. Section 1 provides a historic operational overview of the series' volatile inception throughout 1977. Section 2 delivers relentless, granular detail on all 13 landmark first-season episodes—including Old Dog With New Tricks, Long Shot, Where The Jungle Ends, and the historically suppressed, controversial episode Klansmen. Packed with broadcast dates, union dispute timelines, location filming schedules (such as West London's Southall), and music cue histories, this book is an indispensable Holy Grail document for fans of Bodie, Doyle, and Cowley
