CI5alltheway is a Professionals mailing list that focuses on the UK TV show The Professionals. It was founded on May 22, 2000 and was originally hosted on eGroups before being sold to Yahoo groups. At the time it was founded the CI5 List had been in existence for four years, and some fans wondered if there was a need for another Professionals mailing list. Fan fiction posted to the mailing list was archived at WWOMB. It remained active until 2005 when fandom interest shifted to blogging platforms like LJ. More recent posts consist entirely of spam.

From the description:

Bodie and Doyle. Ah, names to conjure with. If you're in a bit of a Professionals mood come and join us. There's already a gen fic sight on egroups. This isn't it. Slash away guys.

Crossovers with other TV shows are also very much encouraged.

And if you're a Cowley fan, a Murphy fan or - Heaven forfend - a McCabe fan please feel free to write/talk about them or any other member of CI5 (this includes The New Professionals). go all the way with CI5.
