On this week's Friday Night With Jonathan Ross on Â鶹Éç One, Ray says: "I loved John Thaw... I was in the original Sweeney as an extra [as a 17-year-old], just straight after drama college. It was a big show."

He adds: "[The new film] has the feel about it that the show had, it's really well-written. If it all works out I'd love to do it."

Winstone says he accepted his Indiana Jones role before seeing the script. He tells Jonathan:
"It's weird because you don't get to see the script. In a way I quite like not knowing too much."

And he's full of admiration for Harrison Ford:
"He's unbelievable, as fit as a butcher's dog. He's down to earth... he'd do as many [stunts] as he could, he obviously got himself in shape for the film."
