Alan Lake. Wasn't he married to Diana Dors?

I don't think he was a full-time actor, cough, cough.

Yes he was. Caught the back end of a show looking back at the sweeney
on itv last night. One of the clips they showed featured Diana Dors

They were then screening one of the sweeney films after that show

Think Lake comited suicide soon after Diana Dors death

Also, weren't Lake and Dors friends with Mary Millington?

Yo Planet...I love The Sweeney. I must be on a 70's retrospective but as for they dont make em like they used to. igot 2 words: The Shield!

If there was a UK version I reckon Ross Kemp would be Vic Mackey

This line has now entered British folklore.
