Competition: Win ‘The Sweeney: Season One’ on Blu-ray

by Phil Wheat

Celebrate Father’s Day with the gift of an old British classic. Celebrating 50 years since TV police dramas were changed forever with a brand new Blu-ray restoration, we are giving away a The Sweeney: Series One Blu-ray box set to a lucky winner!

The iconic police series, created by Ian Kennedy Martin, debuted on UK TV in 1975 and was a ratings smash, running for four seasons and making household names out of John Thaw and Dennis Waterman as Detectives Regan and Carter, with the brilliant Garfield Morgan as their long-suffering boss. It changed the landscape of TV cop dramas forever, with its no nonsense approach to crime-busting, pithy, quotable dialogue, punch ups galore (including Carter reliably being duffed up every episode), edge of your seat car chases, and some properly nasty villains.

Series One has been painstakingly restored for a superb five-disc Blu-ray Collector’s Edition, featuring all the episodes from the groundbreaking inaugural year, two versions of Regan, the original pilot of the show, a host of extras and commentaries, a booklet, and lavish packaging.

Watch the official trailer here. The Sweeney: Series One is out now on Blu-ray, or can try and win a copy by answering the question below:

Which TV cop show also starred John Thaw? Was it:
a) The Bill
b) Inspector Morse
c) The Professionals
