George Kitchener Bulman, late of Strangers and television s scruffiest, quirkiest detective, has retired from police work. Old habits die hard, however, and the plan to spend his days quietly mending clocks in his South London antiques-cum-junk shop goes out the window when he meets Lucy McGinty, a university drop-out with a passion for criminology who manages to coax old GBH out of retirement and into partnership in a new private detective agency. So out come the nasal inhaler, tatty string gloves and plastic carrier-bag briefcase and Bulman somewhat reluctantly returns to a world of organised crime, terrorism and international espionage. And this time, he's free of the police code... This set presents both series, starring Don Henderson as the classics-quoting detective and acclaimed actor Siobhan Redmond in her first drama-series role. With the majority of episodes scripted by Strangers stalwart Murray Smith, this cult series guest stars Alun Armstrong, Ingrid Pitt, George Sewell, Sheila Hancock, Jack Shepherd, Peter Wyngarde, Iain Cuthbertson and Robert Hardy among many others.
A benchmark of quality television drama in the 1980s and arguably the definitive interpretation of the Robin Hood legend, this BAFTA-winning series is presented here for the first time in High Definition.Jason Connery stars as Robin Hood in Richard Carpenter's influential and highly acclaimed re-working of the classic myth. Combining equal parts high drama, historical accuracy and atmospheric mysticism, Carpenter's reboot pitched a band of not-so-Merry Men against a decidedly brutal and waspish Sheriff of Nottingham. With a haunting theme from Clannad, strong scripts and outstanding performances from Ray Winstone, Clive Mantle, Judi Trott and Nickolas Grace, to name a few, Robin of Sherwood was, and remains, a worldwide hit.With new HD transfers taken from the original film elements, the third and final series is presented here at a quality level never previously seen.

Perhaps the most easily parodied action series of its era, The Professionals was the one about the gruff but fatherly counter-terrorist top cop Cowley (Gordon Jackson) and his favourite surrogate sons, the curly haired ex-copper Ray Doyle (Martin Shaw) and taciturn-but-pouting ex-mercenary William Bodie (Lewis Collins). As set out by series creator Brian Clemens (veteran of the more fantastical Avengers), their job was to stop threats to the government, visiting dignitaries or the general public "by any means necessary". What this boiled down to was dashing about, leaping out of cars, getting into thump-happy fistfights, leering at every "bird" who passed by as if they were trying to prove something, wearing eye-abusing late-70s leisure wear well beyond the sell-by date, potting baddies with guns hauled out of their smart shoulder holsters, and occasionally choking back manly tears when another of the trio was wounded. All three leads were professionals of another stripe--the sort of actors who could soar with a good script and do their best to sell a weak one--and they were generally set against a parade of top-flight British character acting talent along with sundry sit-com/pin-up refugee disposable girlfriends and suspects. One strange, if understandable, element of the premise is that CI5 tackle all manner of Greek, Middle Eastern, Soviet and radical nutcase groups--with the odd racist Klansman, corrupt civil servant and dubious big business tycoon thrown in to prove they're not fascists--but almost never have anything to do with the Irish terrorist groups who were the main focus of the organisation's real-life counterparts from 1977 to 1983. --Kim Newman
