Call the Cops: The SweeneySeries 1, episode 4Series about the history of British TV police dramas looks at 1970s show The Sweeney, created when writer Ian Kennedy Martin realised that the real police were not behaving like their TV counterparts on Z Cars.

However, it was massively entertaining, consciously funny and a huge success. Click to see when Call the Cops, The Sweeney is coming up on UK TV |
