Rough, tough and politically incorrect in the way that only the best ’70s drama series can be, The Sweeney is one of the major television successes of the last fifty years. Featuring John Thaw as the irascible Detective Inspector Regan and Dennis Waterman as his loyal ‘oppo’, Detective Sergeant Carter. (Network)
