Can you tell me the name of this British cop show from the 70s

One time when I was in the UK I had insomnia and was watching a documentary of a 70s cop show. At first I thought it was a mocumentary of Starsky and Hutch, cause there were a lot of similarities - right down to one of the cops had recorded some music in real life.

I know that is a flimsy description, but dopers have gotten other references with less.

Sounds like The Sweeney. Dennis Waterman did bother the charts at one time, as well as recording the theme tunes to some of his other shows.

Maybe it was The Professionals.

**WotNot **got it. It was indeed The Sweeney I was trying to remember.

Thanks!

Too bad; I was hoping it would turn out to be Dempsey and Makepeace.
