The Sweeney: Series 4 50th Anniversary [Blu-ray]

“I am utterly and abjectly pissed-off with this little lot!' says Detective Inspector Jack Regan (John Thaw) in the final ever episode of The Sweeney. But you won't be - with this stunning collection of unforgettable episodes from Series 4 of the show that redefined the British police procedural forever. In the last series, Regan, aided and abetted, as usual, by Detective Sergeant George Carter (Dennis Waterman), tangles with a Glaswegian police officer trying to prevent a kidnapping; a girlfriend who has a vision of his impending death, and a boss, Haskins (Garfield Morgan), dealing with his wife's mental illness whilst hunting an informant who shot a cop. If that wasnt enough for Regan, he is also accused of corruption and threatened with jailtime! It is all going down in series 4 of The Sweeney, newly restored and remastered for the first time in the original TV aspect ratio on Blu-Ray, making every raid and every arrest look like it happened yesterday. It's the final shootout for The Sweeney, but at least there is a swag bag full of special features and bonus materials to make the last run last longer. Watch it or be banged up!
