Perhaps the best of the lot; quite a plaudit for a superb series.

Intelligent, brave, original - very nearly faultless.

Just seen this thread after I posted on the "Only 3 Actors" thread. Here is my response repeated:

My Tuesday night TV consisted of a documentary about the 1970’s series “The Sweeny”, and the final part of “Accused”.
Firstly, I vote Accused as being the best British Drama of 2012. (Not that I’m totally qualified as I don’t watch THAT much TV!!). But the final show neatly followed on from part 3, (though they can be watched individually). Superb script and acting. Wasn’t the lead girl, (can’t remember who it was) great last night?

The Sweeny documentary was very informative. Having not watched the original show since the 1980s, (probably first airing and first re-runs), it was interesting to see interviews with the original crew and surviving cast. The claim it was the “quality show” of the 1970s. I can’t argue with that.

Hard Sweeney, best ever now Non-PC/Pure Cowardice, was Regan & Carter staked-out in BIG Granada watching a house opposite a schoolyard where leggy young-gals played netball.

Regan, bored/hard-on, "Who ever invented the Gymslip should get a bloody medal !"

Carter, shocked, "Wot? Here hold on Guv !"

Regan, "SHUT IT !!"
