With recent blu rays of #TheSweeney I'm having another rewatch. Regan, the Armchair Cinema opener, is very good if slightly overlong. It sets up everything to come nicely with Jack's clashes with superiors, chaotic private life & his slightly dodgy actions. George is more straitlaced at this point.

#TheSweeney rewatch Ringer.
Regan starts a day badly but ends it managing to prove his point with Haskins. Great early example of the on location action including views of Peckham Station, only now getting some TLC. Brian Blessed is unusually quiet & subtle with Alan Lake and Ian Hendry at the fore.
