The Sweeney Series Four on 50th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Blu-ray in February

After the huge success of the first three series boxsets, Old Gold Media is proud to be releasing The Sweeney Series Four Collector’s Edition, beautifully restored on Blu-ray, in February. Combined with Series One, Two and Three (available now), they make the complete set of the classic TV crime drama starring John Thaw and Dennis Waterman, as well as a host of amazing guest stars, including, somewhat unexpectedly, Morecambe and Wise.

The fourth and final series of The Sweeney, sees Detective Inspector Jack Regan (Thaw) and Detective Sergeant George Carter (Waterman) in fourteen action-packed episodes, coming up against London’s most merciless hard men and sneaky swindlers, and doing their level best to remain within the constraints of the law themselves when dishing out justice. The Sweeney had never looked better – or hit harder.

There are some familiar faces in Series Four, including Diana Dors (Oliver!), Richard Wilson (One Foot in the Grave), Joss Ackland (White Mischief), Michael Elphick (Boon), George Sewell (Get Carter), Richard Griffiths (Withnail & I), James Cosmo (Braveheart), as well as comedy favourites Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise. The series boasts the usual high quality, gripping scripts by the likes of Ted Childs (The Zero Option), Roger Marshall (Public Eye), Trevor Preston (Out), and Tony Hoare (Minder).

Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of The Sweeney, Series Four has been digitally restored and remastered for the first time in the original TV aspect ratio, with the original 2.0 mono and new 5.1 sound options; this definitive collector’s boxset is packed with special features and bonus materials, and includes an informative booklet.
