The Sweeney - Must See TV ( Pt 1 of 2)

[Simes2007]

Where's part 2?

[BigDon62]

So where's Part Two Guv ?

[fatcatsathat]

Dennis Waterman looks like he got some new teeth.

[SquishedButterfly]

I've just finished watching Comic Strip Presents Detectives on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown which is so funny. Just as The Day Today made it impossible to watch the news without smirking, CSP have done the same to Sweeney. Going to have to get my hands on it and have a smirkfest.

[SSCFPA]

Sheer punching slags, busting blags, busty barmaids, no-nonsense drinking joy!

[hacko67]

BRILL

[submariner200]

I watch this TV show when I was 9,and all I have to say is REMARKABLE!

[kezadrone]

Fuckin CLAAAASSSSS!!!! This is what we need to deal with those Riots.

[smoolet]

BRING back coppers who actually kick arse and aren't scared , the ones that get the REAL thugs.

[mara66M]

the sweeney was way ahead of its time i liked D way they didnt always get their suspects and sometimes D robbers got away.

[Bondfanxever]

I loved this show! They don't do anything like this today! Policeman looks like scholars..all well dressed and polite..bullshit! 

[herefordmsv]

I have uploaded the full episode - check my channel

[43lochness]

please, please, post part two !

[MickeyLove01]

It was on here

[MickeyLove01]

I see some twat removed part 2

[danielsonn77]

where's part 2 you BAAASTARD!!

[TheChapaqua]

'Jesus Christ am I the only copper in London?'.

[Babania1]

Loved the sweeney when I was growing up John Thaw is a legend!! always remember an episode where some brass was topless and shook her bristols at Thaw saying "go on have a good look" me and my mate thought this well funny at school the day after (i was only 9 at the time)

[douglas18741892]

Love John Thaw...where's part 2?

[joeycusack80]

I just heard The Sweeney is being Remade. In the interest of Political Correctness the two lead characters Reagan and Carter are going to be potrayed by a Black person and a Lesbian.

[twoface0]

I read somewhere that there will be a new Sweeney movie and that Ray Winstone will play Jack Regan. I would have thought Philip Glenister would be a better choice since he played a similar character in Life on Mars.

[stingray4real]

@twoface0 Danny Dyers plays Jack Carter .

[Banner1979]

They should have done a Must See TV special on The Professionals with Richard Hammond hosting it.

[CesMan83]

"Nicked"? I guess that's British slang for "arrested", like how some of us Yanks would say "pinched"?

[F1X0R121]

@CesMan83 Spot on. Nicked can mean arrested or stolen. As in "He nicked a phone and then got nicked for it." Also Nick can be used to mean a police station or prison. Its also someone's name.

[johnnycheck99]

Today's 'police' dramas are a joke as is todays so called fucking police. Pathetic. Bring this stuff back NOW

[badmattam]

Cigarettes,booze,sexism,Ford Consul and a good kickin'.....and no political correctness in sight.....God,i miss those days! x

Great upload thanks.

[donnyab]

shit waterman is ageing really badly....prolly too much booze

[silverfox266]

look slag i don't care who you have in your bed-but don't try and run your numbers on me"...john thaw was born to be Regan. Him and Waterman just total class.

Makes the cop shows of today look like what they are- total crap.

The Sweeney still numero uno.

[hopki65]

RIP THE GUV,NOR

[anamr2]

Hola*-*Muchas Gracias por el video me encanta Sr John Thaw.Thanks for this I love Sr Thaw, I see Morse here,,Great and Thanks

Ana*-*Saludos

[burnt62]

Excellent line from Michael Robbins ..." You 're an evil bastard - even the other old bill think so"

[Melville10]

What is The Sweeney slang for? Coppers?

[david2uk2007]

It's rhyming slang.

Sweeney -> Sweeney Todd -> Flying Squad

Flying Squad was the police department that dealt with armed robberies. There were lots in the 70s/80s when weekly wages were still paid in cash and before CCTV/helicopters.

[neuterallrednecks]

Best Cop show ever made!

Only the British could make something as gritty and badarse as this.

I got the entire Professionals collection on dvd and sometimes its almost camp whereas The Sweeney still stands up today.

[Melville10]

Your right...only they could make it!

[TheDepotCat]

The Sweeney was the first TV programme I watched on our new colour telly back in the mid 70s.

"Now shut it.."

[douglas18741892]

Is the 2nd part anywhere?????

[sussexmews]

Waterman rumoured to have bought at auction Dick Emery's naughty Vicar's false teeth which were original used by Alec Guiness in The Lady Killers

[darrowby1972]

@sussexmews -Quality comment!

[quillerpen]

Watching this makes you relaise how much 'Life on Mars' was based on it!

[Melville10]

Your right! I think it is in the series 1 Life on Mars DVD set where the creators are interviewed. They openly admit they were huge Sweeney fans!

[fredxtini1]

Did he...... write the feem foon? hahahaha...

[geneclart1]

whats happened to waterman's teeth these days???

[xneverwalkalonex]

ahhhhh the good old days, proper tv.

[aknevomn]

Can we have Pt. 2 please!!

[johncopey]

John thaw claimed he was born in 1942, making him in his early 30`s, when the Sweeny began. He looks like a man in his late 40`s at least, with his grey hair, and wrinkled face!

[unclemort1960]

@johncopey i met someone who knew thaw and they said he was a terrible worrier who took life very serious-hence the premature ageing

[JuanMacready]

@unclemort1960 I think it was all the cigarettes and alcoholism.

[th4397]

Brilliant show!! Whats with Waterman's teeth tho???

[InternetUser1999]

Wasn't there a remake of this series but this time set in Manchester back in 2005 called 'Life on Mars'?

[taxi2y28]

What ever happened to the part 2 of this ? I cant find it anywhere.

[Mirren81]

look slag

[sledgeka]

Your Nicked! get me Govern! thanks for the compilation! ROFL

[archeronfoot]

John Thaw = the guvnor. RIP Boss

[longerdaysdyingss]

dear oh law, ave a look at Dennis's hampsteads!

Dennis looks like Charles Kray meets that Paul Whitehouse "man & boy" character.

[rrbh]

Dennis needs to sort out those gnashers pronto.

That's unless he's taken up boxing again and he's wearing a gum shield ?

They must be NHS dentures....... or he's wearing them in for his grandad ......groan......that sounded like one of Eric Morecombe's jokes ( arguably the unfunniest man ever to grace British t.v. screens ). Anyway, as Jack would say....ON YER BIKE !!!!!!!

[Retardis]

If you think Eric Morecambe was so unfunny why do you say he graced british tv? Shut it you slag or I'll kick your arse up to your shoulderblades!

[rrbh]

Do wot?

You're off your chump.

Everyone knows you're a bit ginger...you and your Ashby-Jones mate. I've heard you visit Jack's snout Cyril too for a bit of quick friction.

ON YER BIKE.

[Retardis]

Listen tinkerbell, don't try to run your numbers on me or I'll come down on you so hard you'll have to reach up to tie your shoelaces.

[rrbh]

I hear that your good mate Hyphen Jones is prone to calling you.CUDDLES?

In a bare knuckle fight between you and Bob Hargreaves my money's on the bottler !

[Retardis]

Where you been Tinkerbell, down the scrape clinic with Mrs Rix? I've just spent 24 hours with Biggleswade, he says you've got the poppy, I'm bring Davey Freeth back down from Glasgow to sort you out you flash monkey, Cooneys gone to collect him.

[rrbh]

POXY FILTH.

Davey Freeth is only interested in boozing and hogmagandy.

I've passed your email details onto my good mate Tim Cook - so very soon you'll have a hooter like Didlo Durante.

Bet you've got a shake on bigger than Lukie Sparrow.

Nice and easy does it. !

[Retardis]

You're on thin ice sunshine, my snout tells me you've been trying to flog Archimedes doggy bowl down Camden market. You'd best watch you step, if Dave 'Iron Man' Brooker finds out there'll be an accident looking for somewhere to happen!

[rrbh]

OI, leave it out my son - any more of this caper and you'll be back on the streets, directing traffic and wearing a tall hat.

Bleedin woodentop.

[Retardis]

Youtube's gone diddlo, it posted my last comment twice. When I catch the person responsible I'll drown them in their own sweat!

[rrbh]

I knew it - selection board? You've got 5th floor written all over you.

ON YER BIKE and count yer paperclips.

I'm utterly and abjectly pissed off with this little lot.

[Retardis]

Leave it out mate, you know you need this like an alcoholic needs booze, like Quirk needs polo mints, like big John needs his foot back. I'm under pressure to bring in A10, if that happens the whole thing could fall part, then who will Stickley get his oners from, the lying little scumbag.

[rrbh]

Scotch-Welsh git !

You and Frank Haskins are doing for the Sweeney what the Boston strangler did for door to door salesmen

[Retardis]

Look Mary doll i'm not trying to start an affair with ya, it's not my fault that Mrs Carter didn't follow the green cross code. You say you're a hard man, but I heard you're so bent it's been impossible to hang your photo straight on the office wall this past 6 months.

[longerdaysdyingss]

Watch him, he's a weirdo & he's hard enough to rollerskate on.

[Retardis]

I'm a D.I, you're just a seargent, call me sir when you speak to me or there'll be no cars left to nick by the time they let you out.

[longerdaysdyingss]

You can't be optimistic with a misty optic.

[Retardis]

Have you gone diddlo me old china?

[longerdaysdyingss]

certainly, I'm one of the diddlo Durante's.

[Retardis]

I think you've been swimming the wrong way up the Thames guvnor!

[rrbh]

@Retardis Word has it Kenny Jarvis has just been released after doing ten penneth - Cyril reckons you'll need more than a bit of quick friction to sort yourself out after Jarvis catches up with you - as he reckons you fingered him for the Hatton Garden blag. You'd better scarper..... or they'll be collecting your head in a pillow case.

[Retardis]

Kenny Jarvis has been knocking off Arlene Baker, I can sort out him, I can sort out you and I can sort out that old boiler. Some bubble grassed on me for kickin' micks and thumpin' birds, and when I find out who soldier there's gonna be an accident looking for somewhere to happen. Give Steven Castle my regards.

[rrbh]

You're off your chump!

You may put the time in at Pop's gym but you couldn't even go two rounds with Frank "paperclips" Haskins. When I've finished throwing alsatians around and sorting out gypo's with ear-rings I coming around to have a word in your shell-like.

[Retardis]

Leave it out mate, you couldn't even beat Jimmy Dancer let alone Big Tel with his ex army flak jacket and length of heavy duty chain. Did Alison Carter post your football pools?

[rrbh]

@Retardis - I've just had Vic Tolman on the blower, he's back in the Smoke for a little tickle, and in his opinion you are dirty, filthy , festering scum. ........

[Retardis]

@rrbh You're nothing but a 1st division Bernard Driscoll without the humor. You couldn't even beat Jellyneck at pocket billiards. My brother's Tommy Martin, you want trouble with him?

[rrbh]

@Retardis -I've just given a century and a photo of your ugly boat to my good pal Moxom. From now on you'd better look both ways before you cross the road my son.

[Retardis]

@rrbh Do wot? Moxom's gone banger racing with Danny Keever, you'd be better off trusting your life savings to Tony Wirral. Just to be on the safe side i'm off to France, champers, chips and birds with no bras.

[rrbh]

@Retardis - R.I.P. Eddie Retardis.

Are you trying to work your ticket?

Word has it there's space for two in Eddie Glass's new quarry home- and you're on the shortlist to move in.

If I were you I'd scarper faster than Bob Hargreaves

[Retardis]

@rrbh Ray Meadows tells me you've been playing with little girls out of your league. He's sending Kenny Lynch round along with Leroy Garner, they sure know how to screw us honkies.

[rrbh]

@Retardis - RIGHT. I'm completely and abjectly pissed off with this caper - it's JOHNSON AND JOHNSON for you -priority item.

[Retardis]

@rrbh You're just a whore for McQueen, you shoot your mouth off like Ingram sub machine gun but deep down your as wet as Marge Proctors panties when Jack sings Stranger In Paradise. They didn't kill him, you did!

[rrbh]

@Retardis - Flash monkey.

Any more rabbit from you and you'll be minus the back of your head.

[Retardis]

@rrbh Do what? I've been asked to put a check on your means and accounts, you were costing Harrods a grand a year and at that stage you didn't even have your O levels. You should've gave the poppy to old uncle B for safekeeping.

[rrbh]

@Retardis - listen pillock - I'm the fuzz. Any more lip from you and your feet wont touch. Savvy? two words for you.........WATCH IT !

[Retardis]

@rrbh You been shacking up with Marge Proctor at the Blue Parrot? 3 times I tried to raid that place, 3 times it was closed on the night of the raid. Hope you haven't been singing your songs to anyone else, you're my snout sweetheart and I'm very possesive!

[FryConfessesJZMD]

John Thaw! RIP

[bgibb101]

God old fashioned coppers - bloody marvelous!

[kirkbyla]

[VirgLondon]

[Voxac100b]

My favourite episodes were Nightmare, Pay Off and Taste of Fear....

Check Dennis's new nashers out.

[GroovyBlackCat]

I know! I love Dennis Waterman, but he looks like a Wallace and Grommit character now.

[mistofoles]

"You're nicked!" SMACK!! HA! I have the "REGAN" movie on video :)

[sebenoky]

John Thaw was such a genius. Really!

[philofdarwen]

cats knackers

[LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH]

The Sweeney- quite simply THE BEST Police series ever made. Come back Jack & George PC obsessed Britain needs you more than ever before.....Quality television.

[Voxac100b]

Agree 100% it really did pull no punches! I loved every second of it.

[whonut]

"They were right about you Regan, you are a bastard" lol

[AMICHIO]

[panda606]

listen slag..lol great stuff.

[AndyRouseCrawford]

My dad was in the flying squad - he said that the Sweeney is exactly like it used to be. Even the guns, they used to book them out and just carry them about - scary. But those were the proper days! Wicked

[Voxac100b]

Well they did have real police advisors on the series.

[polytheneted]

I want to join the Sweeney !!!

Get you're trousers on ! You're nicked !

Cool for cats ? Cool for dogs too ! ^-^

[theamateurbasher]

"Get yer trousers on, you're nicked!"

Possibly one of the greatest Sweeney quotes ever? Cheers!

[VirgLondon]

thats from the pilot episode called regan, just been uploaded

[theamateurbasher]

Ah, I see. Apologies to all, and thanks for clearing that up VirgLondon.

[a1ethioS]

My God. Dennis Waterman has has a face lift, I'd say, and it looks ridiculous. Not so tough after all.

[MickeyLove01]

Does anyone know if both films are included in the box set?

[RCBPearce]

No, they're not, but they come on a disc of their own.

I've got the lot, and the pilot "Regan".

[MickeyLove01]

Yes I know about the films bundled together. Sheila Hancock signed mine for me when I met in 2004.

[stevegte]

yes they do in the new box set :)

[RCBPearce]

I've got all four series, both films and the pilot, Regan but I've never seen this, thanks!

[JeanPaulRed]

That's what I needed! Thank you!
