Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Regan and Carter are searching through the rubbish tip, a very brief shot is shown of an Evening Standard newspaper headline "Peer's Nanny is Murdered in Belgravia". This is a chance reference to the notorious case of Lord Lucan who disappeared on 7 November 1974 - presumably a few days before the scene was filmed - and has never been seen since then.
- Quotes
[final words to Jack, on a cassette recording that she has left for him to find]
Sandy Williams: I don't think you can love unless you put your love before your work. I was prepared to do that for you. But would you have done it for me?

Cover Story
A misconceived episode of The Sweeney which left me wondering what the hell was that about?
Prunella Gee is certainly appealing as a reporter Sandy Williams who was once married to a Fleet Street tycoon. She arouses Regan's interest in more ways than one.
Carter tells Regan that Sandy has reported a detail on a crime story that they have only just discovered.
Regan wants to know if she is heavily involved with some criminals or has she been used. However things get romantic between the two and it is Carter who gets to the bottom of it by getting one heck of a beating.
Regan as a babe magnet just does not work as I recall at the time, the middle aged ladies preferred Dennis Waterman in The Sweeney than John Thaw who looked like he was approaching the official police retirement age.
The story makes no sense. It looks like it was a half baked first draft.
