Apparently St.Elmo is the patron saint of sailors ( and abdominal pain )-

This is the first Sweeney episode I remember catching a glimpse of back in the summer of 1985 when I was 6. It was the scene where Medhurst has just knocked that driver out in the toilet and he's chatting with one of his men. At first, I thought it was Mel Smith as he was on the telly a lot at the time.
Actually, no. Before this back in August 1984, I saw the climax of Victims when we had guests over at our place. It was the first time I saw Dennis Waterman carry a gun and I remember Eve ranting and raving at Jack. Many years later when I bought the Sweeney companion book, looking at the episode guide, I tried to track this episode down, thinking it was from either series 1, 2 or 3, then I looked at the series 4 guide and discovered it was Victims.

I had this on in the background the last day or so from a itv4 repeat and one thing I thought about here did Billy Medhurst sabotage the van his cohorts Stan and Micky were meant to leave the meat depot from? I wonder this was all his plan to sabotage the van, have Stan and Micky ride in the truck, freeze to death and have all of this capers loot for himself. Billy was the type of slimy villain that something like that could ring true and even when he had a chance to free them at 'Wandsworth Lorry Park' he leaves them in there presumably to freeze (and die). A good episode perhaps one where the show was at it's peak in the terms of acting, production and popularity. Interesting that Anthony Heaton played a similar character to Billy in Widows (Bill Grant) who also was a just as slimy and shame he died relatively young too. You still find things in these episodes even after the umpteeth time you've seen them.

One of the very best episodes over all four series IMO. Love the summer 76 heat haze
