While The Comic Strip has quite a few very funny episodes this isn't one of them. The ones with Keef generally are the worst episodes of the series and this probably ranks as the worst of his efforts.
This episode is a send up of The Professionals ITV series which is actually a classic and is still shown to this day. Its still highly rated. However that doesn't mean that it cant be made fun of, its just that this episode doesn't do a very good job. The main "joke" of this Comic Strip episode is that the two main characters are gay. That's pretty much it. So they run about in underpants and leather jackets....because that is apparently what the writers think being gay is. There is even a scene where its exposed they are gay with semi explicit photographs apparently engaging in gay acts their boss is using to blackmail them into doing a job. Overall you get the impression that the writers have some strange jealousy or dislike of The Professionals cast and the cleverest thing they could think of in the 80s is to imply they are gay as an insult because they actually aren't. What is strange about this is there is actually a gay black actor in this and its odd that they wouldn't have suggested this entire episode comes across as pretty homophobic. I've no idea what those involved think of this episode now but "hasn't aged well" is the best description.
