The Sweeney or The Professionals?

I'd go for Bodie & Doyle as my parents got me a Professionals toy pack (gun with holster, ID badge, hand-cuffs, camera etc.) when I was 7.

This is like asking which of my Children I would save. I can't possibly decide.

Sad that the actors who played Bodie, Cowley and Regan have all bitten the dust.

Sweeney of course. There is no serious comparison, surely?

I didn't like either. I didn't even like Life on Mars, the 'homage'.
Maybe you need a Y chromosome.
I don't expect any of you would rush home to watch a Jane Austen adaptation.

"It would seem, all circumstances taken into due consideration, that you would appear to be under arrest; or rather, the facts all taken together, you are indeed apprehended by the law..."
Nope, doesn't really work, does it.

I couldn't warm to Life on Mars, despite the presence of Philip Glenister - I have always been a great admirer of his Dobbin.

"Shut it! We're the Sweeney and we haven't had our breakfast yet"!
The scene where they staked out some villains house and decided to storm it. They battered the door open and rushed in to find an upper class type of family having a quiet evening meal together at the dinner table,
Waterman pipes up with the little gem. "Guv I think we've got the wrong house"!
