I remember watching this when it first was aired in the UK, it was on a Friday night and I was about 12 years old.
After watching it I knew it was a show that I would watch every week, this was certainly different from any other action show I had seen before.
Here were 4 guys who were on the run from the government but helped people out with problems they had, they were different types of guys but put them together and they made The A Team.
Hannibal who always had a plan, they didn't always come out the way he planned but they worked.
Face was the guy who could get anything from anywhere and always scammed hotels, planes etc for the team.
B.A was the muscle and the mechanic in the team who could build and fix anything, Murdock was the insane pilot who was always broken out of the V A hospital when the team needed him.
There was also Amy and Tania who were reporters who separately attached themselves to the team for a while, although rumours were that George Peppard who played Hannibal was not happy with the female involvement in the show.
Also there was the MP Colonel's who tried to catch the A team , first there was Lynch and then Decker who was played by Lancs Le Gault and the character of Decker was the one who pursued the team the most.
People do pick holes in the show like why did the team never shoot anyone and they always got locked up in a garage or warehouse where they would be able to build something to make their escape.
But you can pick holes in any fictional show, this was action packed family entertainment.
