Sweeney, The - The Complete Series 2

The entire second series of the action-packed dry-witted smash hit cop show of 1970s. They're a classic detective double act, John Thaw is the mature, serious and irritable Regan, while his young partner, Dennis Waterman, is the cheeky cockney Carter who's a hit with the ladies. Part of London's Sweeney Todd the Flying Squad (rhyming slang!) they're called upon to raid villains' homes, particularly when there are semi-clad ladies involved. Regan and Carter face violent clashes and often use firearms and illegal methods to get an arrest. Undoubtedly influenced by movies like GET CARTER this acclaimed, gritty and notably realistic TV series--where police work is not glamorised and the effects on personal relationships of the committed coppers is all too clear--still has resonance, but at the same time is of its time.

    The all-time greatest British TV cop show

    Watching this classic series from the 1970s shows just how far the quality of British TV has collapsed since then. 'The Sweeney' is truly stunning entertainment, with extraordinary drama, characters, dialogue and realism. It has been beautifully restored for DVD, with interviews with actors, writers, stunt men and others. Exceptionally highly recomended. I'd give it 10 stars if the software let me.
