You couldn't do that round the streets of SE1 these days. Dempsey and Makepeace was fantastic for UK stuntwork and great location managers too found all the best derelict wasteland and archetypal run down London streets that even in 1985 were quickly getting gentrified. The production base was in Kennington. I remember the Transit jump was used in the LWT promos for The Burning (the feature length season 3 opener) on first transmission in '86
This was a superbly researched show. I interviewed Peter Brayham in 1997 concerning The Professionals and didn't realise he did any stunts on this. We have been working to release the an official version of the original soundtrack for about 20 years but it's complicated. Would nice good to get it out for the 40th Anniversary in 2025.
whoever made this absolutely excellent..who are swinging star productions and did they have anything to do with Dempsey and Makepeace the series or did they make this video posted
