I bloody love The Professionals and I bloody love The Sweeney too...!!! You cannot beat a bit of fast-paced 70's telly every now and again when men were men and cars sped all over a traffic free London... Check this site out for more on these two great shows (and Minder too!!!)...

Glad JAY PS mentioned early episodes of The Bill they were great the original head of CID Roy Galloway (played by John Salthouse) is ace see him here (and check out his classic Ford): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFt9Oc_vVnM

 

A long forgotten show that ran for 5 series between 1978 and 1982 is Strangers that starred Don Henderson as DS George Bulman, its a shame its never repeated.

See a clip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3YVhT5F ... re=related

 

and here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w-1ezBl ... re=related (look out for Kevin Whately as you've never seen him before)

 

You can also buy the complete series from Amazon for around £17, i'm too young to remember it but spent some time trying to find Minder/Sweeney type shows to buy and watch also found the drama series Fox from 1980 with Peter Vaughan which is worth a punt too (the only clip I could find is the boxing match so it doesn't give much insight into the show

) . Post up what you think of the clips as i don't know anyone who has seen/heard of Strangers and it would be good to hear what others have to say.

Yep me too watching The Professionals ... I forgot how good it was. All that sideways action in a Capri 3 litre sport and RS2000! hmm. Although think my diving over bonnet, etc days are a bit behind me though as my beer belly gets in the way! lol :beer:
