The episodes I've seen weren't bad. Not quite as edgy as the original Pros, but hey, this was Edward Woodward, you know? So you cut it a little slack. I've never seen the New Pros episode with John Castle guest starring ("Hostage), though, which I've read is just remarkable. And since JC is one of my absolute favorite actors, I'm trying to round out my collection and get a peek of it. Anyway, EW made for a different kind of director of CI5 than Gordon Jackson had as George Cowley in the original Pros -- different but interesting.
I read a little about John Castle on your website; we've just been watching the Miss Marples again, he's particularly good in that (oh, I see he's in 'Reilly, Ace of Spies' - that's something else I must get round to watching).
I'll keep an eye out for the New Pros in case it turns up on one of the cable channels (hm, assuming you can cope with PAL video?).
