Synopsis: Jack Reagan is a good copper, but his tough, intuitive style is becoming unfashionable in a Scotland Yard seeking a new, technocratic image. When a policeman is mysteriously murdered, Regan breaks all the rules to find the killer but he finds there are men in the Flying Squad prepared to break him.
This is the pilot for the TV series "The Sweeny" one of the seminal cop shows of the 70's and maybe one of the most quoted shows ever.
I bought this as a fan of The Sweeney for more years than I care to remember. Having never seen this pilot before I must admit to being a bit unsure but this is definately a must purchase for any fan. It is well written, well acted and serves as a good intro to the main series which, if your purchasing this I'm sure you'll have probably bought 9AND IF NOT THEN YOU SHOULD DO!!).

Although I own a VHS and DVD copy of this already, Network DVD have made an exceptional effort in bringing us this latest offering. For me it had to be the intsrumental background music from the library's of DeWolfe and KPM that made me purchase this. But also for the digital remastering that has taken this production from a "hair in the gate" film show, to a Cinematic masterpiece that will look good on any home cinema.
Get yer trousers on...and buy from Amazon now!!! Or you'll have me to answer to.
