It was a real shame to hear about the death of Lewis Collins (which has been reported in the media today). In my opinion 67 years old was way too young to go and after a five year battle with cancer too. That must have been bloody miserable for him and his family.
In his role as Bodie in the Professionals, Lewis Collins was a seventies/eighties icon and a character that, as a kid, I used to run around pretending to be.
I grew up with the professionals, have every episode on DVD and, despite the fact that I never knew the man, I am genuinely saddened to hear about his demise.
Whilst I am sure that praises will flood in from the glitterati; I hope that Ford pays some respects because Bodie and Doyle were the best advert in the world for the Ford Capri. Even now, I’d love to own one - my cousin Stuart Phillips has a beautiful 1986 model and I bet, like me, he’ll be wishing Collins well in the afterlife.
