That's sad, I used to like that program.
I remember him also being in a comedy series, I think he played the part of a rich bloke, who owned a house and rented out the rooms.
Can't remember what it was called but I remember a rather attractive dark haired actress was also in it, along with a tall fair haired chap who ended up in Eastenders.

Sad indeed,
"Anarchy, acts of terror, crimes against the public. To combat it I've got special men - experts from the army, the police, from every service - these are The Professionals. "
Reckon they were ahead of their time

Rather sad reflection of the way in which their career success diverged that the beeb have used a photo of Martin Shaw to head an article on Lewis Collins' death.
The Professionals star Lewis Collins has died aged 67, his agent said.
The actor, who played Bodie in the crime drama alongside co-star Martin Shaw, died in Los Angeles yesterday after a five-year struggle with cancer.
His agent said: " He died peacefully at his LA home surrounded by his family. Privacy is asked for at this very sad time."
The Professionals, which made stars of Collins and Shaw, was based around the adventures of a fictional crime fighting unit called CI5.
Its memorable theme tune and action-packed plots made it a huge hit on ITV in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Collins's other most notable role came in 1982's Who Dares Wins, when he played a member of the SAS.
He was born on Merseyside and worked as a drummer in local bands and as a hairdresser before getting into acting.

I loved the Professionals when I was a kid. Used to roll around the playground pretending to be Bodie and Doyle. RIP Lewis, sad day
