* [[Perp Sweating]]: Lots of sweating, along with plenty of punching, kicking, and banging against walls.
* [[Rabid Cop]]: Regan on a bad day.
* [[Six Is Nine]]: The "6 with a screw missing turns into a 9" gag is used in a scene where a very respectable family are eating dinner when armed policemen crash into their home, and are just as surprised as they are because they were expecting to meet armed criminals.

Moments later, a crash is heard in the distance, and the father comments that it sounds as though they've found number 9.
* [[Special Guest]]: Morecambe and Wise. (John Thaw and Dennis Waterman found it hard to keep a straight face around them; they also did a spoof of ''The Sweeney'' on their sketch programme.)
* [[Theme Song Assonance]]: the sWEEney, the sWEEney, dadadadadaaaaa, dadadada!
