The Sweeney has to be one of the best, if not THE best police show of all time! Every storyline was fantastic, packed with action, car chases, and of course, plenty of blags n slags! The London locations are great and if like me you are into classic cars, its fantastic to see them all, especially the mk1 3.0 Consul GT. There really wasn't a bad episode!
Wish someone would bring out the whole series on dvd! The best car chase episode was from series one called "Stoppo Driver". This features an electryfying chase ending in the mk2 Jag getting totalled! My favourite eppisode thgough was from series two, called "Thou Shall Not Kill". This featured all the classic ingriedients, a bit of a car chase, a gripping storyline about a bank raid, and a bit of a shootout! Amazing! Thaw and Watterman really wewre the perfect team together and with help from such stars as Garfield Morgan, its no wonder The Sweeney was such a hit! So go on next time its on the telly put it on and relive all those classic moments, even if its only to hear that supreme line "Shut It"!
