CALLAN & THE SWEENEY THE ULTIMATE COLLECTIONS
Audio Commentaries: Research and Recording with Mike Kenwood
 

 
 

CLIENT: VIAVISION, 2022-

Mike Kenwood and myself, co-authors of The Callan File: The Definitive Companion and Sweeney! The Official Companion, were commissioned by the Australian home media company ViaVision to record six audio commentaries, for 'Ultimate Collection' DVD box sets of the two seminal British TV series.

Drawing on years of research and interviews with actors, writers and directors, for Callan we recorded audio tracks for the series' pilot, Armchair Theatre: 'A Magnum for Schneider', as well as 'The Same Trick Twice' from Series Three. For The Sweeney, we recorded an audio commentary for each of its four series - 'Jackpot', 'Chalk and Cheese', 'Taste of Fear' and 'Hearts and Minds'. The latter was a special "farewell present" to stars John Thaw and Dennis Waterman, co-starring the legendary comedy duo Morecambe and Wise.
