  • @1977Melville Hardly.

  • ITV, when telly was any good!!!

  • You're nicked you slag!

  • @LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH The Sweeney still holds up brilliantly today, great acting and scripts with believable characters. The Professionals though watchable isn't in the same league.

  • Love The Sweeney and Minder, Not really into The Professonals. ITV4 later also added Auf Wiedersehen Pet to there Cult Classics.

  • @LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH Im with you on this.. :-)

  • @blagger56 It would be "Lunch" today... ha ha

  • @flaxonx3 Rather watch absurd macho posturing & 3 litre S Capris getting thrashed, than the insipid, PC drivel we have to tolerate today. NO female bosses, NO ambigious characters with doubts about their sexuality, NO hair gel, or designer suits, NO front wheel drive hot hatchbacks! Just good old fashioned bank blags, RWD car chases & spankings for villains. QUALITY.

  • @back2steel2 I agree. I believe the remake will be a disaster although I will go and watch it. 'The Sweeney,' was a product & reflection of the times during which it was made. It reflected the 70's style robust of policing. I fail to see how the modern PACE hamstrung, watered down PC policing style can be successfully translated into, 'The Sweeney,' that we know & love. Superb as Winstone is as an actor, Thaw would leave him standing. He was totally convincing as Regan. Thaw = YODA!

  • This when us men had high testoserone, now where being brainwashed by the political correct left who what us to be metrosexual, the political correct have messed the minds of lot of young men if a political correct person try to argue that that men woman are the same just show them a image brain scan of the average male brain and female brain the stucture in many area are vastly different the stucture is different in men becose of exposure to high levels of testoserone as developing fetus
