lunchtime Pros porn

Thought I'd watch an episode of Torchwood over lunch, turned on the telly, and was surprised to find Bodie threatening to slowly kill a couple of people "if anything happens to Ray". Looks like ITV4 is running The Professionals in the lunchtime "entertainment for bored housewives" slot. I wonder if this is deliberate, and if they know *why* it makes good entertainment for bored housewives beyond the ample supply of the pretty.

My god, it's slashy, isn't it? I'm old enough to have watched it when it was first released, though not old enough to have noticed the slash subtext at the time. I saw it again about eight or nine years ago on cable, and knew all about slash by then; but I haven't seen it since, and the boxed set hasn't yet reached the top of my DVD-buying priority list. I may have to change my daytime tv-watching plans for the next couple of weeks...
