Starring: Gordon Jackson, Lewis Collins, Martin Shaw
Factual error: The bomb-disposal Major wears the badge of a Royal Engineer soldier, depicting laurel leaves. This is incorrect - the correct design should be one of a flaming grenade.
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of this episode, the helicopter is getting battered with rain, yet it is perfectly dry on the ground.
Continuity mistake: When we first see Pamela Stephenson, she appears to have crimped hair - yet in all her later scenes her hair is perfectly straight.
Private Madness, Public Danger - S1-E1
Trivia: "Private Madness Public Danger" was the first ever episode of the Professionals to be broadcast. However, it was the sixth episode to be made, and was originally to have been the SECOND episode to be broadcast. Throughout the entire six year life of the series (December 1977 to February 1983) the order the episodes were made bore little resemblance to when they were first shown. Some episodes were left "on the shelf" for up to two years before being shown.
