"The late, great John Thaw is unmissable in the role that made him a star, gruff copper Jack Regan." - Daily Record

The Sweeney is the Flying Squad. It is a name derived from Cockney rhyming slang (Sweeney Todd = Flying Squad), used by police and underworld alike to refer to this highly mobile force of top London crime-busters. The revolutionary series that introduced a new kind of police drama, The Sweeney depicts the violent clashes between the Flying Squad and the deadly world of organized crime. Starring John Thaw (Inspector Morse ) as DI Jack Regan and Dennis Waterman (Minder ) as Regan's partner, DS George Carter, together they lead a unit of skilled detectives who infiltrate and bust up London's criminal underworld. The epitome of 1970's style and attitudes, The Sweeney is action-packed with exciting car chases, fistfights, boozing, break-ins, gunfire, brash dialogue and a multitude of talented guest actors.
