Mrs.D is a huuuuge fan of John Thaw in his role as Inspector Morse, so she got this (season 1 + the pilot movie, "Regan") from the library (we also recently watched him in an incredible performance in "The Sign of Four").
I saw this (Sweeney) when I was a student in Edinburgh in 1976, and remembered it as much more violent and rough than it seems now -- pretty tame by today's standards. I thought it was the best (and pretty much only good) show on British tv at the time.
Dennis Waterman went on to a much later role in New Tricks, and (probably) other stuff I'm not aware of.“A teen reunited with her birth mother, who then killed her and burned her body, police claim” |
