Cheers Gene, there are some London locations in it, in the early part of the film where Ray Winstone and the bloke with the Anglia are heading off to Devon

Westbourne Park Tube Station, Great West Road, Trellick Tower etc. The scene I'm on about is where he signs up for the race was after he'd hitched a lift down to the coast. Obviously meant to be Torquay but they used Colet Court. I don't suppose many would notice it as not being Torquay. The seagulls squarking made me laugh.

This does sound interesting Carty thanks for the heads up and will have a look for it on YT mate.
Ray Winstone can be a paradoxical character. Can be good - sometimes very good, in things like obviously Scum, Sexy Beast, Face, Vincent etc. but when he goes over the top most particularly like he did in the 2012 Sweeney film...
Sadly I think it's that manically caricatured portrait of Regan in that film which has clouded many opinions of him I'm afraid. Really didn't like that Sweeney film. In no way was that a good portrait of JR, Regan not Ewing. Didn't like Plan 9 from Outer Space who was playing Carter either.

This was a great little memory jogger Cartman - thanks My problem is that I don't know when to switch off though. I was just watching it on youtube and while they're all down in Devon, and Winstone goes to enter for the "Devon Long Distance Championship Swim", he is actually going into Colet Court in Hammersmith. No expense spared though - they've even daubed the racket of seagulls into the scene! Gene Maybe we should introduce a Where’s That game where we post a picture and count how many seconds it takes Gene to find where it is?

Similar has been done before on the old forum with sections of stills from Sweeney episodes and if it wasn't Gene that got it first it would have been Dirty Epic. I managed a couple but nowhere near as many as they did. Sam.

i see Ray Winston has never been forgiven for his role in the 2012 Sweeney lol Is it any wonder? Credit where it is due: he was good in Sexy Beast, AWP and Vincent but he should never have signed up to that shite flick that had Nick Love behind it. Sam.

I watched it and kept thinking they should have had pictures of Regan and Carter up on the walls and it was generations forward in the Sweeney ,then i thought its never ever Sweeney class. He played a better part in the Legend of Barney Thomson lol.
