Hope you find it Sparky , and thanks in advance. I stumbled across episode two of the first series at the time of airing and though oi, these liberty takers are copying The Sweeney! oh hang on a minute this is pretty good I'll stick with it for a while. I was of course hooked.

I was of course hooked. The indignation . Yes, that would be lovely to see, Sparky, if you do find it. And yes, even the roadies seemed to look cool in the golden age. If I could go back in time (something we all think, pretty frequently, I suspect!) there would be a ludicrous amount of gigs I'd want to attend. Rather than the one or two a year, maybe, these days.

Is this the one Sparkers? Wow!
It isn't . Grief, some faces on there. A couple no longer with us.
Liz White is on the on the one I have.
It was taken by the Salford Lads Club, in the cul-de-sac bit opposite some newish housing.
Also - the makeup girls weren't wearing bunny ears!!
Is Peter Brayham on there? (Red shirt) behind Red coat?

Yes, Peter Braham. Sadly he didn't live long after that photo was taken.

Stunt Co-ordinator and actor. He did a lot of work on The Sweeney, Bond films, Steptoe and many many more great productions. Life On Mars was his last work.

He can be seen often in the sweeney as an extra. He is in series four front end credits chased by Regan and Carter.

Sad that he is no longer with us but fitting in a way that that was his last job.

Great photo and I agree regarding Peter Brayham, who better than to coordinate the stunts on the series!? I wonder if he was sought for that reason? Great that he could help out and a shame he passed away not long after.
