Sweeney, The - The Complete Series 3

The entire third 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.

    Wonderful

    This series brings back great memories, and unlike many of the other 70's shows which seem very dated today, this is beautifully written, filmed and acted, and with the digital restoration, more than stands the test of time. The extras are informative and add to the discs. The original Thames opening & ad breaks are also included - what a nostalgia trip!

    A true classic, has yet to be bettered

    This series starring John Thaw and Dennis Waterman is still the best police series ever on TV. Look out for some of todays stars who were just starting out at this time. A pity some of the other great police series like Dixon of Dock Green, Z Cars and Juliet Bravo are still not available on DVD
