In 2001, Nut Hatch-Entropy published a beautifully bound volume called The Professionals: Stop the Presses, which comprises several hundred (it looks like, but I'm not going to count them!) pages of photocopied media articles based around Pros. It's long been out of print, and of course the article copyrights belong elsewhere, and I've been meaning to share for ages, because some of the articles are quite fun (though not always very clearly copied). So, I've taken photographs, and like little snowflakes, I'm going to shower them down on you over to course of the day. Of course my original plan was to start showering around 9am, but it's been a day and a half already...

Today is actually an Extra Content Day (aka no one claimed it!), and so everyone is also invited to join in and post any articles they may have lying around about our lads and the show - please do, it'll be fun! *g*

My first offering is connected to these pictures, posted a few days ago by ~~sw33n3y~~ (sorry!)

There they are, crooning along together, the girl on the left listening dreamily...

And here's my first article from Stop the Presses:

(You can click to get a much bigger size for easier reading).

Nip down to the bold writing in the fifth column that says "I love challenges, and this was certainly a challege", and just under the paragraph about MS also going into song and dance when the series ended, and read on:
"I always maintain we should have done something musical together. In between almost every scene we filmed for The Professionals we were forever sitting in our caravan singing duets of old Everly Brothers hits."

And an added bonus:
Lewis says that he and Martin have become much better friends since they finished work on the series two years ago. "We started out like cat and dog," he says. "But we have now become good mates." *g*

(Also, I don't remember seeing that pic of LC in the bow tie before either, although it's been ages since I browsed through the Unofficial LC fansite - I just wish it was the actual pic, not a photocopy!)
