The Comic Strip parodies The Professionals. It was always a series that had slight right wing edge to it and it did not go unnoticed by Keith Allen and Peter Richardson.
They write and star as Bonehead and Foyle. The latter is called Martin Foyle and now masquerades as an actor in the theatre. Rather ridiculing actor Martin Shaw who wanted to be taken seriously as an actor after The Professionals. To be fair to Shaw, he did succeed.
Meanwhile Bonehead gives lessons to actors who want to be action stars and drive fast cars.
When Commander Jackson's (Robbie Coltrane) daughter is kidnapped, Bonehead and Doyle are called into action to find her. Only Jackson is unaware that people near him are calling the shots.
Directed by Stephen Frears who has had a more than respectable Hollywood career. It is frivolous, uneven and has a lot of homosexual subtext to it.
