5.0 out of 5 stars The Boy's are back, 18 Sep 2002
By Livia (London) - See all my reviews
Having already purchased the previous two DVD sets I couldn't wait to get my hands on the third. Just as I remembered this show only gets better. The relationships between the main characters really come into their own from series 3 onwards. Shaw and Collins seem settled in their roles by this stage and that shines through bringing an onscreen chemistry that is second to none. The writing also continues to underline the pseudo-gay relationship between the boys and the actors camp it up beautifully. We also see a strenghtening of the boys father/son relationship with Cowley. Episodes that I recommend for starters are 'Mixed Doubles', 'The Purging of CI5' and 'Involvement'. I now wait with baited breath for series 4 and the unforgettable 'Discovered in a Graveyard'. Long live The Cow and his Calves.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tight trousers, action and squealing wheels, 21 Sep 2002
By Tauna "blktauna" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
Well Bodie & Doyle are back for season 3. There's lots of action and the bonus of some smart plots. Personally I have these just for Lewis Collins and his skin tight trousers but aside from that delightful view the dvds are nice and clear, the sound is not too bad and the extras are fun. This time around they have included some fun promo shots along with the fashion faux pas and the cars. My only complaint is that the mastering is a bit funky and I get some hiccoughs in play. I can live with that as it's intermittent and the content is just so much fun!

3.0 out of 5 stars Best season of the series!, 18 Jun 2006
By Mr. Stephen Kennedy "skenn1701a" (Doha, Qatar) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
If you are looking at season 3, chances are you have already watched seasons 1 and 2... well, if that's the case, you'll find that season 3 is the best so far. This is where the chemistry between the three leads was well established, and the writers were given more free reign to explore the characters. This season included some very personal episodes for the first time, including where Bodie is losing his touch (Wild Justice), as personal vengeance gets the better of him. Of course, Cowlie and Doyle rescue him in the end.. Also includes the classic car chase that I remember from my youth, where our fearless duo are bringing a priceless desk to Cowlie and get involved in a high speed car chase (including an unscripted meeting with a kerb) sending the desk to a spectacular demise.
Of course, there's the 80's cheese factor, but this is surprisingly good drama, and has not aged as badly as you think it will have ... Some of the episodes are taut, and some are poignant... although, the one liners at the end of the epsiode are often too quick and convenient to tie up all the loose thoguhts let hanging.
The transfer is crisp for the most part, audio is fine - the extras look good on paper and the mission briefings are worth the read with all their trivia and where are they now comments.., but they are pretty clunky to get through, and oddly blurred and difficult to read at times.
However, this was possibly the pinnacle of The Professionals - if you like them at all, you'll have to have this season. Buckle up!
