The 3 season of The Sweeney was broadcast on ITV1 from lundi 6 septembre 1976 to lundi 20 décembre 1976. It consists of 13 episodes, the first one is called "Selected Target" and the last one "On The Run".
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.
