Roger Marshall: ‘There was a marvellous chemistry between John and Dennis. There was no sort of, ‘He’s hogging the limelight this week, I’ll have to have a good one next week.’ There was no petty jealousy or rivalry. It was a very good relationship.’ #SweeneySunday
52 years ago this month, filming took place on the very first Sweeney episode, Ringer. Ian Hendry, Alan Lake and Brian Blessed were cast as the memorable villains of the piece. At this early point, no titles or theme tune had been chosen for the series. #SweeneySunday
Remembering actress and author Lynda Bellingham, BOTD 1948 in Montreal, Canada. Was terrific as Nancy King, accomplice to the Aussie robbers in Dad's Trojan Bus episode, a performance which got her a role in the film Sweeney! a couple of years later. #SweeneySunday
Roger Marshall: "Real Flying Squad officers had professional drivers so we were told, as writers, not to have Regan or Carter driving the cop cars in our scripts, unless there were 'exceptional' circumstances." #WritersBible #SweeneySunday
Spot of make-up for the Guvnor.

Ringer set the tone. Violence, patois slang, fights, chases, guns, all captured with handheld cameras and served with fast edits. Filmed on the streets in & around Peckham. "A fast and furious first night for the series. Ringer roars with a new streetwise style." #SweeneySunday
Armchair Cinema's 'Regan', originally titled 'The Outcasts'. Usually described as The Sweeney 'pilot', although the subsequent series had already received the green light. The original contract was to make Regan on videotape, which simply would not have worked. #SweeneySunday
Roger Marshall: "Garfield was an excellent actor but when we went to Euston Films read-throughs you were often acutely aware that he had little to do or say. With Victims, I wanted to place him centre stage and I thought he was superb in that one." #SweeneySunday
John Thaw and Diane Keen in the 1977 film Sweeney! Wonder if Jack Regan could have arrested Bianca on a charge of possessing loud wallpaper in a built up area. #SweeneySunday
Jack Regan takes a relaxing holiday in "sleepy Suffolk" - in reality Virginia Water - with new lady friend Pat Nightly (Jan Harvey) in Dad's On the Run. A gentle start to a dark episode, with the return of George Sweeney as Tim Cook, at the request of the producer. #SweeneySunday

A spot of holiday fishing in 'Sleepy Suffolk' for Jack in Dad's Sweeney episode On The Run, as Regan's new lady friend Pat Nightly (Jan Harvey) watches on. George Carter tells him: "I knew her sister - Twice!" #SweeneySunday

Peter Brayham: "I used to work with big actors - on films - who used to say to me, 'Pete, can you get me on The Sweeney?' Everyone wanted to be a part of it." #SweeneySunday
Ted Childs: "John was just a very nice bloke, but he didn't suffer fools gladly. If, on a production, there was someone he didn't think was up to the job, he would tell you. He was a very bright man." #SweeneySunday
Ted Childs: "It was often what John didn't say in a scene as much as what he did say that carried the conviction in his performance..." #SweeneySunday
Dennis Waterman: "The Sweeney was hard work, & the hours were long. To spend that amount of time together, & to get on for that amount of years, was amazing. John was just a smashing bloke. And the good feeling on the floor comes from the top: the crew loved him." #SweeneySunday
