The action-packed, dry-witted smash hit cop show of 1970s. They're a classic detective double act: John Thaw is the mature, serious and irritable Regan. While his young partner, Dennis Waterman, is the cheeky cockney Carter who's a hit with the ladies. Part of London's Sweeney Todd the Flying Squad, they're called upon to raid villains' homes...particularly when there are semi-clad ladies involved. Regan and Carter face violent clashes, and often use firearms and illegal methods to get an arrest.
