The 1 season of The Sweeney was broadcast on ITV1 from jeudi 2 janvier 1975 to jeudi 27 mars 1975. It consists of 13 episodes, the first one is called "Ringer" and the last one "Abduction".
The Sweeney was one of the finest British police series of the mid 1970s. Jack Regan is a hard edged detective in the Flying Squad of London's Metropolitan police (called 'the Sweeney' from the Cockney rhyming slang 'Sweeney Todd' = 'Flying Squad'). He pursues villains by methods which are underhand, often illegal, frequently violent, and more often than not, successful.
