The Sweeney TV Intro

- The Sweeney is a 1970s British television police drama focusing on two members of the Flying Squad, a branch of the Metropolitan Police specialising in tackling armed robbery and violent crime in London. It stars John Thaw as Detective Inspector Jack Regan and Dennis Waterman as his partner, Detective Sergeant George Carter. It was produced by the Thames Television subsidiary Euston Films for broadcast on the ITV network in the UK between 2 January 1975 and 28 December 1978.
The programme's title comes from the real-world Cockney rhyming slang nickname "Sweeney Todd" used to refer to the Flying Squad by London's criminal fraternity in the mid 20th century.
The popularity of the series in the UK led to two feature films, Sweeney! (1977) and Sweeney 2 (1978), both starring Thaw and Waterman, and a later film, The Sweeney (2012), starring Ray Winstone as Regan and Ben Drew as Carter.

Cheers matey
Oh mate! Thats amazing. Had a vhs of it years ago but think it has long gone. Have a great Sunday.
Great series, I watched through the dvd box set of them all last year and really enjoyed them, love these types of things set in the London of the 70s etc.
Wow, that’s fantastic; such a great series and I’m sure there are loads I haven’t seen. A few folk have commented on having box sets so I may need to grab one 😄. Cheers Craig, and enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Love these little snippets of the past Ed. I was a little young for this one, but funnily enough I know the theme tune.
On a separate note I have been watching Riptide from the 80s on Pluto TV. A weird but addictive TV cop show I remember watching after school.
Cheers Vaughan! Must have been reruns but I remember watching it with my dad growing up.
Ooh, I haven’t heard of riptide!! Will go and google it now. Mate, i hadn’t heard of Pluto TV either; however have just downloaded it on the PlayStation 😄. Will keep me busy haha.
Have a nice Sunday.
Such a nostalgic tune
Totally! Brings back the memories.
Absolute classic mate, Remember Watching reruns Of this as a kid, Have a wonderful weekend
Loved this also mate! I must have watched reruns too with my old man as was a tad too young for it when first came out.
Cheers pal! Have a great one too.

So incredibly iconic isn't it. Ah, that's massively appreciated and means a lot; huge thanks. Hope you like what you find and hope to chat more over the comments :0). Cheers for the comment!
I've got the soundtrack for the series on CD somewhere in the house. Brilliant show!
No way!!! That’s mega 😄. The title track is such a cracking lil tune. Have a great day.
Such a good show. Both great actors.

Ahh the good old days. Been hitting the 80's / 90's TV shows recently

@@RetroEdUK Miami vice!
If you've never seen it, it's a much watch.
It is sublime. Awesome 80s style. Great music too.
I'd go as far as to say it's my favourite tv show. Even better than the A-Team and knight rider.
@@TheRetroManRandySavageheard a tonne about it but can’t say for sure I’ve seen an episode! Will check it out buddy.
Good call Ed.i has this on dvd too, must get around to watching them again. The gerfiest coppers ever.
Cheers Nick! Haha, definitely carrying some particularly with John Thaw's character sharing my surname :0).
I haven't seen this show but I do recognize the Thames intro from some BBC shows I had seen on public television back in the day.
It's a cop classic! Pretty full on in terms of action and lots of London slang :0). Cheers buddy.
I can honestly say ive never watched this but feel i could make sexy song from that music
And you must 😄👍. Mate, it’s a cracking tv show. Plenty of bent coppers, non pc banter, and more fighting than a Bruce Lee flick 👊
@@RetroEdUK I missed out then i may have been watching to much Prisoner cell block h for the ladies 🤪
😂
