Quite a clever idea - to show a current day policeman at odds with the way things were done in 1973 - which is also not a little fanciful and silly. Enjoyable to watch again, particularly verbal and physical sparring scenes between John Sim and Philip Glenister, and Sweeney-ish moments.
With Liz White, Dean Andrews, Marshall Lancaster and Noreen Kershaw, with guest stars such as Joanne Froggatt, Lee Ingleby, Kevin McNally, Archie Panjabi, Steve Evetts, Peter Wight.
But. The last of sixteen episodes is a real mess, incomprehensible, wrong-footed, terrible. You have to know how to get out of these things. Was the end written at the beginning, because it feels more like it was made up on the spot by imaginative eight year olds?
As well as Pride, Liz still works on TV and is in the new series of Unforgotten.
