Old Gold Media complete their incredible restoration project with The Sweeney: Complete Series 4 on Blu-ray — finishing one of the most impressive classic British television upgrades in recent years.
Presented in its original 4:3 aspect ratio and sourced from brand-new HD restorations, this final season — originally broadcast in 1978 — looks better than ever. Grain remains natural and filmic, colours are balanced, and detail is leagues ahead of the outdated DVD releases.
Audio options include the original mono mix, newly created 5.1 tracks, isolated music tracks, and selected episode commentaries. Extras are extensive — featuring archival interviews, outtakes, restoration featurettes, and even PDF scans of the original Sweeney annuals accessible via PC or Mac.
With Series 4 now available, the entire run of this iconic 1970s British crime drama is finally complete on Blu-ray.
Has Old Gold Media delivered the definitive edition of The Sweeney?
