After the phenomenal success of Misty Moon’s The Sweeney Reunion 4 earlier this year, we are proud to celebrate with The Sweeney Reunion 5 at The Cinema Museum.

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:

David Wickes is one of the UK’s leading entrepreneurial film and television producers. Best known for his lavish gothic TV movies, films and elegant period drama series, David is by contrast The Guv’nor when it comes to hard-hitting action-drama, as one of the original band of guerrilla filmmakers in the glory days of Euston Films making The Sweeney.

More guests to be announced soon.

After the Q&A there will be a meet and greet where the audience will be able to purchase autographs.

Doors open at 16.00, for a 17.00 start.

Refreshments will be available in our licensed cafe/bar.
