Classic British TV here, shame the colours gone but in very good condition, grabbed the first one I saw in the cupboard to run on the Elf NT1, great episode as I think they all were, Mark

I have 3 of the Sweeney episodes on Super 8 from Walton Films - Ringer - the very 1st episode, Down to you Brother and I Want The Man. I would love a copy on 16mm of both of the 70's feature films - Sweeney and Sweeney 2.

Both Ringer and Down to you Brother are very good episodes. I don't remember the third from the title.

I want the Man was on TV today, I have a copy on super 8, I put some screenshots on here, I think all the Sweeney episodes were great, Mark

I love the sweeney.we did have down to you brother for many years but unfortunatly it did fade.
We still have i want the man which is an agfa print so colours are very good.The walton ones are slightly edited so any on 16mm would be great. I made the mistake years ago of selling the feature of sweeney 2.
Sadley it seems that all the 16mm episodes are faded now but we still keep looking and hoping. We breifly had one episode on 16 which is in the review section but again, it was sold on due to more fade than we liked.

That is the problem with the 16mm prints, the fade, I have kept a few as I like them but wouldn't show them to anyone, just a great show, Mark
