They weren't too bad with the cardboard boxes to be fair - although I watched one recently and they were flying round in a Capri with Cowleys oak desk on the roof while pursuing some hoodlums.

Little things catch your eye when watching The Professionals like for instance the amount of parking spaces there are, not just for the camera when they are needing to park, in general when they walk around and stuff there are shedloads of spaces and this in in central London and surrounding areas - it appears that in this era of 1977-1983 you could quite easily park up next to where you want to go in London with ease, probably not on a matchday.

Some decent behind the scenes stories from The Professionals like Martin Shaw hated it almost straight away but they wouldn't let him out of a four or five year contract - he didn't like Lewis Collins when they starred together in The New Avengers and when Lewis got the job wrote to the directors asking them to reconsider as he didn't think that he was the right man for the job, sparks flew when Collins found out.

But like in all good American cop buddy films they eventually learned to respect each other and they all lived happily ever after - until Martin Shaw refused to allow any repeats till 1996 and he didn't even want this to happen either.
