It was a takeoff on the episode The Purging of CI5 and encompassed references to fanon and fandom
The play was performed at ZebraCon in 1989.
This is one play in Play by Playbook: Collected ZebraCon Plays (1995), and the only play not to be based on a fanzine.

From Paula Smith:
Karen B said I had to do at least one Professionals play. So this was it. "How come," I am sometimes asked, "you aren't interested in 20th generation tapes of two incomprehensible actors who play characters that apparently hate each other?" Gee, I dunno. Go figure. To approximate my accent for Cowley, I watched "Ducktales" for three weeks, and for "traditional Cowley plaid" (it was red, orange and purple), I scoured every Goodwill store in the tri-county area. But for most people, the highlight of the role was me getting hit in the face with a whipped cream pie. Hey, I'll do anything for my art. [1]
