Product Information
The entire second series of the action-packed dry-witted smash hit cop show of 1970s. They're a classic detective double act, John Thaw is the mature, serious and irritable Regan, while his young partner, Dennis Waterman, is the cheeky cockney Carter who's a hit with the ladies. Part of London's Sweeney Todd the Flying Squad (rhyming slang!) they're called upon to raid villains' homes, particularly when there are semi-clad ladies involved. Regan and Carter face violent clashes and often use firearms and illegal methods to get an arrest. Undoubtedly influenced by movies like GET CARTER this acclaimed, gritty and notably realistic TV series--where police work is not glamorised and the effects on personal relationships of the committed coppers is all too clear--still has resonance, but at the same time is of its time.Product Identifiers
