When I was a little boy, I watched the show and was excited about two things. The opening credits and John Thaw. He was so cool. Sovereign and determined, he searched for the criminals. And most of the time it was the case that he got hurt a little bit every now and then. For example, in an episode where he was alone on the roof looking for someone and only a waitress from the pub below was on his side. Later ended up in the hospital and discussed with his superior. 🤓

If I have shit day when I’m sick of 2020 I get the box set out about 10pm, choose an episode, open a bag of chocolate peanuts, nice big cup of tea, pull the foot stool over and unwind, lost in 1970’s London streets, cars, cloths, girls, bomb sites and language. Fav episodes are stoppo driver, country boy, and ringer, though they are all great really, oh and the pilot episode ‘Regan’ love the theme tune to that.

Can't beat the late great John Thaw. Fantastic actor. "Bottle"...good British slang/word. Means "balls/bravery/courage" if this Yank is not mistaken. Here in the USA we can't even refer to criminals as thugs anymore without someone's cousin crying about it or someone else complaining that it's derogatory/insensitive/out of order. He killed a cop and his grandma but he's not a thug. Oh no. Perish the thought. Puh-leeeeze. It's US (law-abiding people) vs THEM (thugs/criminals/gangsters). Ya dig? Come on now. I remember seeing one (or both?) of the SWEENEY movies back in the day. Change of pace. More than enuf USA cop shows.

Great music! Iconic. Even though i was about 8 when this originally came out in 1975 inspired the desire to be a "Copper" your nicked pal! And so it was, Unfortunately Lancashire Constabulary didn't really live up to the "Sweeney" though! Too much back stabbing between Officers and constantly watching your tail, not from the bad guys but from your own supervision and if you've ever been "in the job" you'll know exactly what i'm talking about. Arse lickers and yes men need only apply. Decent lads get bummed over for promotion and end up leaving. FACT.

For this type of show to work today you'd have to re-introduce the politically incorrect 1970s. The original series fitted the time period perfectly. The look of London and the way they dressed etc. John Thaw & Dennis Waterman are a hard act to follow.
