Watched this one last night from ITV4 again and another decent episode, if not up to the standard of Poppy. Roy Kinnear was in it as a small time villain who turned informer. Again, some good 70s locations.
Don't know about anyone else but I like to take myself off sometimes into the 70s, with TV and my 70s music mix CDs, its sort of my "happy place!"

Just rewatched this one tonight
It's a low key episode with Roy Kinnear giving a great performance as a small time crook who's done a bit too much bird
Not much happens but I still really like it, whilst objectively it's hard to say it's anything but a competent episode
The pun in the late night session where the squard are trying to work out what the job is always makes me laugh
Haskins: "Hijack?"
Regan: "Hello, Guv."
For anyone that remembers it, is the suggestion that Popeye (the grass at the beginning) has been murdered? Or just given a good going over like his mate?
3/5

I took it that he was murdered, with the way the line " He didn't make it either" was delivered, however it is a bit ambiguous. Callan would have looked after him better!

Thanks Three Litre - often wonder why these villains add murder to their list of crimes

I got the impression watching it myself Lord Em that Popeye was probably killed. Vi

Thanks Vienna
On further reflection I'm sure you're right
If he'd survived we'd probably have got confirmation of that
It really is a downbeat episode

This was the first ever episode of the "Sweeney" I saw.
It was on a repeat on ITV during the late 70s/very early 80s - while mum nipped for a bath after putting us to bed, I'd shuffle downstairs on my backside and sneak into the Front room to watch it....
Channel 4 repeated the episode as part of their "Vintage Thames" season in the 1990s - alongside "Callan" and "Special Branch" 'Double Exposure'.
Some great faces in this episode too.
Roy Kinnear, Russel "Lonely" Hunter from 'Callan', Henry Woolfe (then presenting "Words & Pictures" on schools TV) and the great Micheal Cole.
Isn't this episode also famous for one scene - as it was shot during June 1975, one of the scenes captured the freak summer snow fall!
