Movie Reviews of The Sweeney - The Complete First Series
Movie Review: And About Time Too!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
THE SWEENEY was one of the great TV cop series from Euston Films of the 1970s. As one reviewer noted, before John Thaw was Inspector Morse he was Jack Regan. I've got all the sets from England and hope the rest will be issued in the USA, especially with the audio-commentaries and introduction from featured actors who often say something like, "When the Sweeney was on everybody made a point of watching in and it was an honor to appear in the show. You can't say the same about anything on British TV now (this was pre-LIFE ON MARS and NEW TRICKS). They are not exaggerating!
Dennis Waterman, one of the NEW TRICKS team, went on to appear as Terry in the long running Euston series MINDER. It was a shame that PBS never showed these series in the USA since they were really innovative and much better than Guy Ritchie's awful "mockney" British gangster films. THE SWEENEY was an inspiration for LIFE ON MARS now being adapted (and obviously ruined!!!) for American TV.
Enjoy this series which has finally reached this side of the pond and give PBS programmers "a good kicking" (as Regan and George Carter would say) for not transmitting it earlier.
