The Sweeney: Hearts and Minds (1978)
Episode 11, Season 4
Not great

I love 'The Sweeney' and I love Eric & Ernie but this is pretty dire stuff I'm sad to say, I think it is fair to suggest that by series 4 the show was running out of steam and on a couple of occasions the decision to shoehorn comedy into the plots (see Diana Dors and 'Jack Regal' also!) didn't really work...the chase at the end of this episode is particularly painful to watch when you compare to some of the genuinely gritty stuff that preceded it
The series also suffered from missing Garfield Morgan as Haskins far too often...
The Sweeney was outstanding more often than not but this is an episode that really wouldn't have seen the light of day 2-3 years earlier...
