CI5: The New Professionals is a British television action crime drama series, created and principally written by Brian Clemens, that first broadcast on Sky One on 19 September 1999. Billed as an updated version of the 1970s terrestrial television series The Professionals, the series is set in a fictional government agency known as CI5. The original group of three men - Doyle, Bodie and their boss Cowley - are replaced by a team consisting of Harry Malone, Chris Keel, Sam Curtis and Tina Backus. In a similar manner to The Professionals, the series included a number of high-budget impressive action sequences, often filmed in a James Bond-esque style.
