I remember in the 79 s here in Australia ( I am 58) watching the Sweeney and the Professionals. I love them along with Minder . A couple of years ago a mid day movie they had the Sweeney and Sweeney 2 movies . 1st ting I couldn't help thinking the diffrence between the UK and USA police shows at the time was when in 2nd movie at the start they busted some bank robbers , They and the robbers threw punches and used bats pipes etc .I thought in the States they would have had a big shoot out so different . hence why I like British shows much more than US shows . As I am wrting this I am watching re runs of Midsummer Murders .
