When the series first viewed on television, not only was it a realistic ground breaking series. It changed the whole detective dramas that came after. My father spent time with the Scotland Yard Flying Squad in the 1950's. He never discussed it with his children, but l can tell you this, he was really never at home, always working. Just like Inspector Regan ( John Thaw) and his number two Carter (Dennis Waterman) In someways l preferred the four seasons of the Sweeney. With a new story line every episode, however the two movies are very realistic and show in the second how there are dishonest police who take monies but are caught and charged. Both are well worth seeing, but get the series first and then watch the movies. I think that will help to give you a background, and you will enjoy them much more. Highly recommendedRead full review

Just finished watching the Sweeney and Sweeney 2 both discs played perfectly it was nice to watch without commercial breaks. I still personally think programs have not dated and enjoyed very much if you watched a single episode on tv and liked you will enjoy these films.
