The Show
"During a recent gathering of
Western Governments, a Top Secret Order was given to the
security chiefs of 5 major nations... 'Find a solution to
the atrocities that are increasingly dominating the
world's headlines.' ...The message from the top was loud
and clear - horrific events such as ethnic cleansing in
Bosnia, the Oklahoma bombing, the mass slaughter of
protected species in Africa, and the emergence of
powerful mafias in the former Soviet Union can no longer
be tolerated in a civilised world.
The answer was a brand new
international force. A force with the skill and resources
to combat society's evil enemies and win! Thus the new
CI5 was born ..."

'The New
Professionals' is a 90's version of the infamous
70's show 'The Professionals'. CI5 has become a
global organization, combating international crime all
over the world. The show follows the exploits and
adventures of two partners, agents Sam Curtis and Chris
Keel, as well as other characters, including their boss
Harry Malone and the token female
glamourous-computery-sidekick-type person, Tina Backus.
The Characters
| Name |
Sam Curtis |
| Age |
29 |
 |
Background:
Born in London of humble origins, he won a
scholarship to Edinburgh University to study
Modern languages and was awarded a first calss
honours degree. Head hunted by the British Secret
Service, he became an undercover agent in some of
the most dangerous parts of the world. CI5 has
presented him with the greatest challenge of his
life. And he relishes it, even more than he
relishes the good thinds in life, like food,
wine, clothes and music. |
| Name |
Chris Keel |
| Age |
28 |
 |
Background:
A Graduate of Indianapolis, Keel was trained
as a US Navy fighter pilot. His thirst for
adventure led him to join the famous Navy Seals,
America's crack specialist forces. Despite a
traumatic secret in his past (see below), he
became one of the most distinguished special
forces men in the history of the US Navy. He has
now brought his skills, along with a rather
suspect choice in clothes (i.e. everything in
leather), to CI5 - the famous Professionals. We
know that he was married once, but his wife left
him (details people!?!). There was actually quite
a slashy scene in one of the first episodes where
Chris was in bed, having a nightmare about his
wife, and Sam had to comfort him. I'll leave the
rest of that to your imagination...

| Name |
Harry Malone |
| Age |
Old |
 |
Background:
Head of CI5. Born in Ireland, educated in the
USA and trained by the CIA, Malone was once the
West's most successful operator behind the Iron

corners of the globe and is hailed as a legend
among the world's Security Chiefs.NB:
Bodie - 51-year-old Lewis Collins - turned down
this part. He didn't want to be away from his
family for the eight months of filming.

After a spell with IBM, she was poached by the
Canadian Secret Service and carried out a series
of top secret tasks in the Far East. intelligent,
trained in the Martial Arts and with enough style
to become a super model, Tina was snapped up by
CI5 to become the first ever female Professional.Ah,
the token female of the motley crew.Very clever
and quick with a computer, although she is
treated more like a secretary than an agent by
Malone and the rest of the CI5 staff. Very little
character development so far.
