“Get your trousers on, you’re nicked!" Fifty years ago, The Sweeney bust open the door and exploded onto TV screens, forever changing the face of TV police drama. Detective Inspector Jack Regan (John Thaw) and Detective Sergeant George Carter (Dennis Waterman) of the Flying Squad had only one rule when it came to taking down London criminals – forget the rules! Audiences were blown away by this new depiction of the police as flawed and realistic characters willing and ready to bend the rules if it meant keeping the streets safe. In this groundbreaking first season, featuring a new 2025 restoration on Blu-ray in the original broadcast aspect ratio, The Sweeney take on kidnappers, hijackers, bank robbers and worse. This definitive collector’s boxset includes two versions of the original Armchair Cinema episode ‘Regan’ that launched the series together with a heist’s worth of special features and bonus materials. Now watch it and shut it!
