Default The Sweeney

Have just heard that 70's british cop show The Sweeney is being filmed now{ish}.

Directed by Nick Love, with Ray Winston taking on John Thaw's role.

Looks good.

The part of Detective Sargeant George Carter is being played by white English rapper 'Prof. Green'..(known as Stephen Manderson to his mum).

As I understand it it's set in the 70's as well...I'll be checking it out. When I was at Hendon as a Police cadet back in the mid 70s The Sweeney was practically a training film! You couldn't get a seat in the Tv lounge for love nor money by 9pm on a Monday evening!

"We're the Sweeney and we ain't 'ad our dinner!! You're nicked!"

It is an English rapper but it's not Professor Green but Plan B a.k.a. Ben Drew who had a supporting role in Harry Brown and performed the song on the closing credits.

The clip I saw doesn't look like 70's... It looks like it's set in the here and now.
