    "Deane walking with me; talking of the pride and corruption of most of his fellow officers of the yard, and which I believe to be true."

    Oh, I can feel with Deane. Switch the name of the employer and keep the rest: "pride and corruption of my fellow officers of the university" --- voila, I feel it.

    Anthony Deane was a shipwright, acting as a trusted professional to the ambitious administrator Pepys. They were friends, the slightly older Pepys helping to get Deane established.

    Deane later was knighted. He was a successful shipbuilder. Pepys and Deane were joint MPs for Harwich twice, in 1678 under Charles II (where both were accused of treason) and in 1685 under James II. They did things!

    I can picture these two meritocratic pros walking by the river, talking earnestly, sharing their contempt for all the entitlement and corruption around them.

  2. 'The Acorn Syndrome' is todayʼs #TheProfessionals episode on #ITV4. Good, solid action from Martin Campbell from the Hawkeʼs Bay. #TV

  3. Must be 'The Purging of CI5', by the teenage writer Stephen Lister. #TV #ITV4 #TheProfessionals #LWT

  4. Good lord, that’s #DavidBradley in #TheProfessionals! Saw this episode umpteen times, never realized it was David till now. #DoctorWho

  5. How come the ‘northern’ villains in the ‘Heroes’ episode of #TheProfessionals all have southern accents?

  9. I know I have them on DVD, but thereʼs something about catching shows like #TheProfessionals on #TV. Itʼs 'Stopover' today with Michael Gothard. Thanks to the time difference, this becomes prime-time viewing for us. #ITV4

  10. I know I have them all on DVD, but sometimes itʼs nice to leave it to the TV programmers. #TV #ITV4 #TheProfessionals #DieProfis
