Fantastic series of box sets, this is the third season of sweeney, with decent extras, interviews with guest stars from certain episodes, all digitally remastered, still full of gritty 70s "realism". the two episodes featuring psycho Tim Cook played by the great George Sweeney are particuarly memorable and worth buying just for these. You will not regret buying this set,especially at amazon price- just over two quid an episode!!.. roll on season four, network just need to release dempsey & makepeace now to make my day!

Well done Network Video on this brilliant issue of the Sweeney series 3 ! , this to my mind is one of the best cop shows.With the brilliant John Thaw as tough (get yeah trousers on) Jack Regan and street fighter Dennis Waterman as Carter.This series takes on a softer edge with more comedy and less violence.But is better for it with even stronger story lines with more action.There are many guest stars of high quality in some of the best episodes.
Haskins still has his work cut out to keep Regan in check but has respect for Regan.The Dvd's offer excellent value with a raft of extras from Guest cast intro's to the Sweeney Annual PDF.The re-mastering has been done very well making the show almost seem brand new.The only minor gripe is the size of the display box which is hard to store.And would be better in a compact 4 DVD box to my mind , but this is only being pedantic.So come on Network Video lets see Series 4 issued very soon please !!! or your Nicked !!.

British TV at its very, very best. Maybe it's an unfair comparison, but if you compare this to let's say The Bill, then there really is no competition - Regan and Carter win hands down.
If you ever find yourself snowed in for a couple of weeks, this box set and the three others in the series will make the experience a rather pleasant one!
Highly recommended.

GUUUUUVNER!
Car chases, racism, misogyny, smoking; hard drinking, unorthodox interrogation methods, nervous tension and a failed marriage, it doesnt get much better than this!

as good as the first two sets...good extras too!
By series 3 , the hard-drinking, swearing, rule breaking "heavy mob" were really in their stride.
The only reason this review isn't long, is because I cannot find any fault with... Read more

Luckily for me we live in the era of repeats as i am too young to remember this series. Jack Regan and George Carter are played superbly by John Thaw and Dennis Waterman. Read more
