I spent many an hour jumping around or rolling in the dirt, pretending to be Bodie, nearly 40 years ago. He was my childhood hero. Its very strange when your icon passes away - it makes you think about the passage of time & ones own mortality. For me, it was a magical time & the professionals can still take me back there. I still prefer to be Bodie, not Doyle.
Jesus christ you have just described my childhood exactly ...my friend and I would slide over bonnets in a small scrapyard doing the same...your comments about your own mortality could have been plucked from my brain.. (spooky) a little piece of my childhood went when Lewis collins passed...rip and thanks for the memories
I have the complete restored box set of the proffesionals. ..it's been painstakingly restored and believe me when I say it looks like it was filmed yesterday...makes the ones on itv4 look like you have cataracts. .it's not cheap but boy oh boy it's worth it...a must for any diehard fan...it puts you back in the late 70s like nothing else
this is so beautiful, it brings tears to my eyes i'm only 16 and i'm growing up watching lewis in the professionals, he's my hero R.I.P Lewis Collins (Bodie) (3,7) gone but never forgotten xxx
Always have and always respect this man he is the best of British a great actor and also a rarity he is tougher than the his onscreen he is a real action man multitalented and also a caring person it was sad to see him go like he did he has left us with so much always remembered never forgotten god bless you
That just brought tears in my eyes...i think we should never say goodbye, he will live on in his fans and the things he created. He was really not treated well by the industry, underestimated talent, a wonderful person, modest, probably too modest for this cruel industry, and he resigned way too early from it all. The Bond thing really broke him mentally. Really beautiful video.❤️
Darling I have to thank you, you know why. Yes I finally did it but it was really hard. You know it and you know how I feel. ( as I know how you are feeling ). hugs hugs xxx
Simply beautiful.. I 'm Italian and this song describes the true meaning of love for us Italians..magnificent video..thank you,thanks a lot..that's the way!You are great❤️️
hmmm it was hard, and I had to stop every 3 minutes. Had a little drink and then moved on. Well at the end , when I uploaded it I was a bit ......*drunk* Thanks love.xx
Great job. I'd already come to like him in "The Cuckoo Waltz", in which he was very good, before " The Professionals". He was a very charming, endearing actor and sadly underrated.
Thank you for this beautiful tribute to Lewis. I`ve just watched it again though it still brings tears. It must have been very hard for you to work on.. I`m still finding it hard to come to terms with the loss of our favourite actor.
This couldn't have been easy for you I know, it is so beautiful so glad you managed to finish it and with the same wonderful music just perfect. Thank you so much,all these videos have helped so much. Big Hugs xx
Wonderful. He was my hero. What a lovely tribute. Thanks.
Lewis was born and raised around the corner from where we used to live in the 60’s.
RIP Lewis, from one Birkonian to another...over and out 37!
Gets me every time he was lovely
