After the sold out success of The Sweeney Reunion 3 at The Cinema Museum earlier this year, and due to popular demand, Misty Moon is proud to bring back The Sweeney to The Cinema Museum for more tales of the flying squad from cast and crew.

The Sweeney (1975-1978) is a British TV drama focusing on two members of the Flying Squad, a branch of the Metropolitan Police specialising in tackling armed robbery and violent crime in London. It was made by Thames Television for broadcast on the ITV network. The programme’s title derives from “Sweeney Todd”, which is cockney rhyming slang for “Flying Squad”. It starred John Thaw as Detective Inspector Jack Regan and Dennis Waterman as his partner, Detective Sergeant George Carter. Such was its popularity that it spawned two feature film spin-offs: Sweeney! (1977) and Sweeney 2 (1978).

Guests include:

George Sweeney played the violent psychopath Tim Cook in the episodes “Taste of Fear” and “On The Run”.

George’s other screen credits include Jack The Ripper (1988), Citizen Smith (1977-80), The Bill (1990-2006) and For Your Eyes Only (1981).

More guests to be announced soon.

After the Q&A there will be a meet and greet with the audience and the guests will take part in a paid signing.

Doors open at 16.30, for a 17.30 start.

Refreshments will be available in our licensed cafe/bar.
