@GER08ify He was a familiar face indeed. I'll always remember his character getting interrogated by Regan and Carter in first ever Sweeney ep Ringer. Regan said to him, "I'll make you drown in your own sweat."

@Banner1979 Frank's cousin Ron was played by Ray Mort, according to IMDB he died in 1992, however they don't give a birth date. Ray Mort was the landlord in Oh No it's Selwyn Froggitt,and he was in quite a few Tv programmes - The Chinese Detective, Coronation Street, Juliet Bravo, Bergerac,Only Fools and Horses, The Bill and Minder to name a few.

@kawasaki5187 He also starred opposite Dennis Waterman twice more in The Sweeney and Minder in which he was excellent as a washed-up artist.

Love George Sewell and he was very funny as a bogus Policeman in "Rising Damp"

@crazyjonhere I wholeheartedly agree with you. ITV4 should show Special Branch, mainly the later series that had Sewell and Mower in them. That's when it got better. I think UK Gold showed this in the '90s and Granada Plus might have shown a few eps, too.

@kawasaki5187 Before he died, he also guested on The Bill playing a retired copper who was still a tough guy at heart.
