Some great action in this clip as George uses Rutter as a pawn to nail a pair of hitmen.

Do they use guns in Strangers a lot?

[Banner1979]

@CI5AgentSweeps Not really. In series 1 & 2, they rarely pulled out a piece, although there were one or two exceptions near the end of series 2. Series 3 was when they started to use their guns a bit more.

[CI5AgentSweeps]

Yeah, I like the whole "location" aspect of the show :)

[Banner1979]

@CI5AgentSweeps I always saw Strangers as a follow-up to The Sweeney - two tough London coppers handling dangerous and at time violent cases, but instead of the capital, they get to go to other places like Manchester, Liverpool, Scarborough and Edinburgh.

[CI5AgentSweeps]

The deaths in Strangers are quite gritty at times!

@CI5AgentSweeps The bit near the end of FWITC when they're chasing that bad guy near the top of the house.

[Banner1979]

@CI5AgentSweeps It's Bulman followed by Willis. They are a great double act and very likeable, sort of like a slightly gentler version of Regan and Carter. I think Lambie is a great hard-man copper with lots of funny lines, but I prefer Haskins.

[CI5AgentSweeps]

BTW: Who's your favourite character? I'm guessing it's Bulman but it could be Willis :) Mine is Lambie, with Bulman in close second. I don't find Strangers as enjoyable as Pros or The Sweeney but I still quite like it :)

[CI5AgentSweeps]

As I'm sure you do as well my friend, which part of FWITC? I'm coverting the clip from ADGP as we speak (type!) :) I'm doing a killcount vid :)

[Banner1979]

@CI5AgentSweeps You know your guns :). Derek killed only one - Shove Christie (Soldiers Of Misfortune). Vanessa accidentally killed one bad guy in Free Weekend In The Country (series 5).
