Special Men (Professionals vid)

"Special Men" is a The Professionals fic trailer. This vid was created by Ancasta as a teaser for the story, Special Men by Sineala, a fusion story, for The Professionals CI5 Box of Tricks challenge. 
This vid was recommended by Callisto on Crack Van on October 29, 2010: 
"Because she combined Bodie and Doyle with Harry Potter - yes, Harry freakin’ Potter - as the artist for Sineala’s Pros Big Bang crossover fic, and somehow managed to blend the two worlds seamlessly. It’s short because it’s done as a movie-style trailer for the fic itself (which is also wonderful), and although I confess to not being much of a Harry Potter fan, I think this is utterly brilliant."

Spectre

Spectre was a 1977 British made-for-television horror film by Gene Roddenberry and co-written by Samuel A. Peeples -- who wrote the Star Trek: TOS episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before". Spectre was one of several unsuccessful pilots created by Roddenberry, and one of several pilots in the 1970s in the occult detective subgenre. 
The pilot follows the adventures of William Sebastian (Robert Culp), a former criminologist and occult expert, and his colleague, Dr. "Ham" Hamilton (Gig Young), a physician and forensic pathologist, as they visit the United Kingdom to investigate a case involving the aristocratic Cyon family. 
Lead characters William Sebastian and Dr. "Ham" Hamilton were modelled after Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, although there are also some aspects that recall the relationship between Roddenberry's own Spock and Leonard McCoy. Roddenberry previously revisited this relationship in an earlier failed pilot, The Questor Tapes.
The cast includes John Hurt, James Villiers, Gordon Jackson, Ann Bell, and Majel Barrett.
==Novelization==
A novelization of the movie was written by Robert Weverka, and published by Bantam Books in 1979. (ISBN • 0-553-13302-0) The Spectre novelisation is 154 pages long and adds significant background information not present in the script.

He wrote that it "represents one of the worst essays I've written for that column. The essay appeared at the end of a run of a five-part essay an the space program and I had no essay for the final issue. I thought of an idea for an essay and quickly sketched out and outline and filled it in as I wrote the newsletter. Admittedly the subject has not been studied by me extensively and it shows appreciably in the essay."
