i’d like to draw your attention to some intensely peculiar wallpapers.
Tag: the professionals
no visual analysis on this one; it’s just hilarious.
as previously stated, if i go by episodes of the professionals, then i must believe that everything in the seventies was beige. but look at all the different KINDS of beige! yellow-beige! darkish-beige! reddish-beige!
Since I feel like absolute shit today, I am taking the day off work and reverting to my standard comfort-watching of The Professionals.
Now I am contemplating starting a Pros Review blog as an excuse to rewatch the whole series again, since it has been literal years since I’ve done that, and I’m also so great at keeping up with all the other stuff I’m working on
The Professionals, boiled down to one sentence per episode

The Madness of Mickey Hamilton: Emperor Palpatine has it in for doctors and it’s all terribly depressing.Stopover: The lads are chewed out by Cowley repeatedly and they go to a pub.
Runner: The plot is overcomplicated but now we know that Ray Doyle is still in the habit of walking into Bodie’s bedroom when he’s got a girlfriend there and also slapping your colleague’s bum is apparently part of the procedure to disarm bombs.

One day I’m going to re-do this post, but in the style of AO3 tags – because Pros is a series that uses one fanfic trope after another.
I had to repost it because it is so damn funny and truth!!!!!!
