Classic Sweeney story line

Did enjoy " Queens Pawn", Many have tried to copy this style of Drama few come close the raw strong story line makes this a classic. The comedy is so well written how it blends in to the sadness of what elements 1970 London was like. Though fiction I am old enough to remember the impact this series had on every day life and culture in the UK during the 1970. John Thaw always acts the part well but letting him become untouchable gives you the sense anything can happen and the people above him using him you get a real feel power and passion very hard to reproduce. So yes top marks for this one looking back thirty plus years ago this was fresh then and for people like me watching again still fresh now.
