Synopsis:

This series chronicled the lives of Bodie and Doyle, top agents for Britain's CI5 (Criminal Intelligence 5), and their controller, George Cowley. The mandate of CI5 was to fight terrorism and similar high-profile crimes. Cowley, a hard ex-MI5 operative, hand-picked each of his men. Bodie was a cynical ex-SAS paratrooper and mercenary whose nature ran to controlled violence, while his partner, Doyle, came to CI5 from the regular police force, and was more of an open minded liberal. Their relationship was often contentious, but they were the top men in their field, and the ones to whom Cowley always assigned to the toughest cases.

When that still-thrilling theme tune blasts out of your television speakers, complete with wakka-wakka guitars and low brass riffs over a title sequence that opens with a car crashing through a plate-glass window and ends with Bodie, Cowley and Doyle striding into the camera's point of view, it's impossible not to be instantly brought back to the late-1970's when the fictional Major George Cowley hatched a plan to combat increasing levels of crime with a crack agency, free from bureaucracy and red tape. Is it the greatest title sequence ever? Oh, yes it is and it works because it tells you all you need to know - three men operating within and without acceptable police procedures to fight homeland security.
