We're The Sweeney son, and we haven't had any dinner

Ok The Raymeister

looks and sounds like The Guv but Mr B looks like a little boy!

Some face is going to be really scared locked in the old flowery with him!!!

half and half

It had to be Winstone didn't it, but Plan B...he's actually a handy actor, so maybe it'll be fine.

Fact

Ray Winstone is old enough to be Plan B's grandfather.

Winstone

Glad to see old Ray is really pushing the boat out to avoid typecasting.

Ray W

is a livin' God, and if anyone bad mouths 'im, I'll 'ave their fuckin' spleen on the toe of my boot.

He's

a big man, but he's out of shape.

After you.

I'll hold your jacket.

Vulpes Vulpes | 7 April 2011 - 6:11pm

I must say

He has rather let himself go since Beowulf.

What?

If it gives Danny Dyer the 'ump, it gets double thumbs up from me...

Who's going to start...

the book on the the number of verbal 'you slag(s)'?

PaddyH | 4 April 2011 - 8:37pm

What odds can I get for

Winstone saying 'the latest odds are on your screen right now' during the film?

Tom | 4 April 2011 - 9:28pm

A lifetime of Minder/Sweeney confusion strikes again

I was thinking that Ray might be a bit too menacing to be Arthur Daley.
I blame Denis Waterman.

Austin | 4 April 2011 - 8:43pm

Not knowing who Plan B is...

... (I thought it was a Dexy's single?) I have no preconceived ideas about his acting abilities, or lack thereof.

Gordon Kerr says Ben Drew looks like a little boy, but you know what? According to Wikipedia, he's the same age as Dennis Waterman was when The Sweeney first aired!

Just for you Billybob

You're right and more surprisingly

John Thaw was only 32 when it started. It finished in 1978, when Dennis Waterman was still only 30, and John Thaw 36.

That's the way blokes looked in the seventies -fifteen years older than they were.

Cause of having

'a glass of breakfast' one assumes. Teacup full of scotch and a bacon roll, anyone?

bathmat | 5 April 2011 - 12:20pm

Oh FFS...

Winstone, you ponce! I remember you as a chirpy mechanic in Minder, so the Cockerney hardman image has never fooled me one bit.

Who thought it would be a good idea for you and some sub-pub-karaoke soulster to piss all over the memory of one of the greatest-ever cop shows? If you're that determined to remake a John Thaw series, I suggest you two jokers would really be better suited to revisiting Home to Roost...

Paolo Meccano | 4 April 2011 - 8:49pm

Willlll

He came across fairly convincingly as a hard man as Will Scathlock in Robin of Sherwood.

To be fair, my dead Granny would have come across as a hard man next to Jason Connery.

Just a crazy thought...

You could always wait and watch part of it before rushing to judgement.

Doug B | 5 April 2011 - 10:53am

Oh no, I'm not making that mistake again.

I actually saw Shane Ritchie's Minder...

*thousand-yard stare*

Paolo Meccano | 5 April 2011 - 2:24pm

One supposes you have never seen him

stuff two pool balls into a sock and enthusiastically set about a rival whilst relaxing in a reform school then?

0
Vulpes Vulpes | 5 April 2011 - 6:07pm

Minder and The Sweeney

he was in both. Arnie the mechanic ,of course.. And thanks to You Tube he's bang to Rights.

Coogan channels Winstone...

DougieJ | 4 April 2011 - 9:39pm

To be honest, I don't care who plays the parts.

Just so long as Danny Fahckin' Dyer is kept off the screen by someone.

Lenny Law | 4 April 2011 - 10:34pm

Nick Love.

Anyone with high hopes for this film might want to listen to the co-writer and director chatting to Danny Dyer about their last, but one, epic.

"I've never seen no stars before..."

Derek Ridgers | 5 April 2011 - 12:01am

It's Derek and Clive...

... for the 21st century, innit?

Billybob Dylan | 5 April 2011 - 3:36am

I am the only person I know who has seen that film.

I cannot think of a worse film. If the guy who made that is making The Sweeney then it will be shite. That is all.

ganglesprocket | 5 April 2011 - 2:29pm

I saw it...

and whilst it was pretty poor, I can honestly say I have seen a hell of a lot worse.

Doug B | 5 April 2011 - 3:35pm

Why?

That's it. Nothing else to say.

Archie Valparaiso | 5 April 2011 - 9:03am

Plan B

Was a very naughty boy in Harry Brown

0
Beany | 5 April 2011 - 10:10am

I'm guessing that

they couldn't get a 'Life On Mars' film going so this was their next idea

And policemen are looking younger these days, aren't they? Is he allowed out on his own after dark?

0
DogFacedBoy | 5 April 2011 - 12:40pm

Plan B

I presume he's going to write the theme tune and sing the theme tune?

JoLean | 5 April 2011 - 2:47pm

No..

they're going to get a musician to do it...

They both look like they HAVE had some dinner, quite often.
