... (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!
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...
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.
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)'?
What odds can I get for
Winstone saying 'the latest odds are on your screen right now' during the film?
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.
Not knowing who Plan B is...

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?
Oh FFS...

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.
Oh no, I'm not making that mistake again.
I actually saw Shane Ritchie's Minder...
*thousand-yard stare*
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?
Minder and The Sweeney
he was in both. Arnie the mechanic ,of course.. And thanks to You Tube he's bang to Rights.
That still seems to feature David Gilmour circa 1980
Coogan channels Winstone...
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.
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..."
It's Derek and Clive...
... for the 21st century, innit?
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.
I saw it...
and whilst it was pretty poor, I can honestly say I have seen a hell of a lot worse.
Why?
That's it. Nothing else to say.
Plan B
Was a very naughty boy in Harry Brown
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?
Plan B
I presume he's going to write the theme tune and sing the theme tune?
No..
they're going to get a musician to do it...
Jesus
John Simm's put on a few pounds.
Re. The original post
They both look like they HAVE had some dinner, quite often.
As you were...
