The Sweeney - Closing Track

The complete closing track from the Sweeney, with random images from the show. It's the music i wanted to post, another classic by band leader Harry South. Like most of you, i only got to hear part of the track as a kid, but it's one of those tunes that seem to stick with you.

what is that funny red box with "telephone" written on it? (0:58)

[fivestring]

A retro thing that people used to try and use before these new fangled devices came about.

It consisted of putting your finger in a hole corresponding with a number and moving it around using different numbers... then watching a 10 Pence peice go down a slot and come out of the bottom into a little silver tray called "Reject Coins" , then do it again.

You could use them for textinging in a basic way, you used a magic marker or an aerosol spray can

Glad us old un can learn you summat

What a stuff!!! Gorgeous!!! Thank you SO MUCH!

This was my fav TV show when I was a child. Here in Italy it was called "L'Ispettore Regan"...

I was crazy about Jack Regan... Now I'm mad about Gene Hunt!

[fivestring]

There is a similarity isn't there.

I think Gene will be treated with the same regard as Jack in the future.

I always thought the closing music was quite sad and melancholic. Lovely though.

Always preferred this arrangement to the opening track so thank you very much indeed for kindly posting the full lengther.

Nice still visuals too, excellent work sir.
