Gene is just hilarious.

"Don't you mean Guv".
"We're undercover!"

"Chicken in a basket????"

"There'll never be a woman primeminister as long as I (too crude for a family forum)"

Very clever, very funny and very much a satire of "The Sweeney". Love it.

And managing to go from a thread about life on mars, to arguing about last/next/this Saturday is quite impressive :p

Blame Rotty he is chronologically challenged.
Last nights episode was great, I am looking forward to next weeks episode which is obviously next week as last nights was this weeks as it is in the same week.
I also look forward to the release fo the DVD set which is hopefully this year on this coming boxing day as opposed to next years boxing day :P
 
I concur, last nights was pretty weak compared to the rest although the sheer quantity of hip flasks was very funny as was the "bleeding whisky" comment.
The comments about the WPC in nurses uniform also raised a few chuckles.

Why they did not effect the arrest once the man was disarmed is beyond me, it didn't quite fit. Still love the series though :)
 
I wonder how many alternative endings were filmed, originally it was going to be one series wasn't it.
Last nights episode was more serious than usual, most of the sweeney style mick taking was absent baring a completely unnecessary handbrake turn outside the Hotel when they first found his father.
I have loved this series, found it very funny and nostalgic, it has brought on fond memories of The Professionals, The Sweeney and so on. This and Doctor Who have been absolute triumphs, someone at the Beeb is stuck in the 70s, it's great.
