Get yer trahsers on, etc.
To mark the blu-ray debut of The Sweeney – The Complete First Series on 10 September 2012, home entertainment label Network is giving one lucky fan a once in a lifetime opportunity – the chance to test drive the stunt car from The Sweeney TV series at Rockingham, Europe’s fastest racing circuit; a bottle of 1975 men's fragrance plus £1975! For your chance to win, ‘like’ the competition at the link above. You’d be criminally insane not to enter.
1975 was the year that the most groundbreaking British police drama ever made was broadcast on ITV. Bohemian Rhapsody was at Number One in the UK charts. Inflation was at 24.2%. The UKimplemented the Sex Discrimination and Equal Pay Act. We decided to stay in the EC. The average house price was £11,974. Curly perms, lounge-suits and pungent after-shave/splash on lotion were de rigueur… Luckily we had “The Sweeney”, who hadn’t had any dinner, to keep us company amidst the financial and political turmoil. And now you can relive it in HD!
