Judging by fanlore and some of the other things I've run across, I think a number of early Pros writers weren't Pros fans — they liked the cut of the lads' jib, and saw the slash potential, but didn't actually like the programme — apparently viewing it as some kind of paean to what we would today call 'toxic masculinity'.'
Ah, I see. Well, there are definitely things that bother me in The Professionals, but I like it overall. Obviously.
