Long-awaited long-overdue: The Professionals as you have never seen them before. Bodie and Doyle need little by way of introduction but if the series had at all escaped you since its debut in 1977 their boss George Cowley head of CI5 couldn't put it more succinctly than his opening gambit: anarchy acts of terror crimes against the public. To combat it I've got special men – experts from the army the police from every service. These are The Professionals. Featuring the perfect ensemble cast of Martin Shaw Gordon Jackson (completely against type here) and the much-missed Lewis Collins the series ran for 57 action-packed episodes and made an immediate impact on British and then international audiences which has sustained 35 years. But the series has never looked this good. Painstakingly restored from the camera-original negatives the series could have been made yesterday. No matter how many times you have seen The Professionals this is a new experience like seeing it for the first time.

Now it can be told! You'll burn with rage! And thrill with pride! Dana Andrews and Farley Granger star respectively as Capt. Harvey Ross and Sgt. Howard Clinton in this clearly propagandistic film. They are among a group of eight airmen who as part of Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle's raid on Tokyo have been shot down by the Japanese and are being held in prison awaiting execution. However for propaganda value the Japanese have decided to try their prisoners as war criminals b
A ghostly ship looms silently ahead as the crippled ocean-going salvage tug Sea Star approaches. The Sea Star crew their ship slowly sinking has sought refuge in the eerie calm of the eye of a typhoon to make repairs and hopefully avert disaster. But something's terribly wrong. The ship a Russian science vessel bristling with high-tech radar electronics and other wonders appears to be deserted. Unfortunately for the crew of the Sea Star nothing could be further from the truth. Shelter from the storm turns into terror on board as they find themselves stalked by a mutating alien life form that has travelled across time and space - an energy force unlike any in the universe. It is powerful. Intelligent. And it has found the perfect planet to inhabit. Now in order to survive it must destroy the one threat to its existence: a virus called man.
We have met the enemy, and it is us: when a Martian spacecraft with a terrifying link to the origins of humanity is unearthed beneath a London tube station, only the esteemed Professor Bernard Quatermass can save London's suddenly murderous population from itself. One of the most intelligently paranoid science fiction films ever produced, this pessimistic masterpiece functions as a dark flip-side to the relatively optimistic alien-induced evolution theory presented in the later 2001: A Space Odyssey. Nigel Kneale's brilliant script (which posits a surprisingly plausible, otherworldly rationale for the existence of the supernatural) was later appropriated by acknowledged fan John Carpenter for his underrated Prince of Darkness. A must-see for horror and science fiction aficionados. This film is also known as Five Million Years to Earth. --Andrew Wright
