The Sweeney (1975–1978)
10/10
Rough and Tough 1970s British Policing: Ian Kennedy-Martin's Ultimate Brainchild
1 November 2023
Move aside, Starsky and Hutch! The Sweeney will get the job done... their way! With their trousers on! Whether they've had any dinner or not!

When it comes to British cop shows, they don't come rougher, tougher, grittier, funkier, or swagger than this, this definitive 1970s exploration of London's Flying Squad.

At the top of the pile are the hardened, no-nonsense pair Detective Inspector Jack Regan (John Thaw) and Detective Sergeant George Carter (Dennis Waterman), who absolutely steal the show with their actions, methods, and words.

This is one of the shows that truly define 1970s Britain. A real gem of a cop show.
