Episode thirty six of VISION ON SOUND finds WARREN CUMMINGS returning to have an extended natter about one of his television favourites, The Sweeney.
In preparation I did rewatch the Armchair Cinema sort-off pilot, "REGAN", and the opening episode of the series proper "RINGER", but our off-the-cuff conversation is fairly wide ranging, and includes some of Warren's real-world tales of dealing with the actual Sweeney, and a little bit of the history of the Flying Squad, but we also discuss seedy villains, wonderful dialogue, the various guest stars, some atrocious accents, crockery, and 1970s motor cars, as well as giving a little attention to the episode featuring Morecambe & Wise.
