The Bill TV Series 1. I have been watching The Bill since it started back in 1. It is always hard commenting on a long running show because most shows have their good and bad patches. The early Bill episodes were fantastic. Unlike the 2. 1st century Bill, the early Bill focused entirely on the officers work lives you never got to see their private lives except in rare cases where their work impacted on their private lives.

Includes overview, cast and crew list, comments and information. There were several different stories within each hourly episode usually split between the beat officers, C. I. D. cases and the politics of being a copper in the Met Police. The stories focused on all ranks from the constables to the Chief Superintendent. The first Chief Superintendent was Charles Brownlow, a man more interested in politics and PR and ensuring that justice was seen to be done. The first head of C. I. D. was Detective Inspector Galloway, a short tempered and stern cop who didnt think twice about shouting at his men but who was a good copper underneath. The early Sergeants were Alec Peters, Tom Penny and Bob Cryer. Bob Cryer was a veteran copper who the officers looked up to he didnt suffer fools gladly but would support his men through and through.

The Game And Blackwall Street' title='The Game And Blackwall Street' />The constables included Jim Carver, a naive young probationer whose heart was in the right place but ended up putting his foot in it on occasion. Each of the early episodes were self contained. In the 8. 0s the Bill switched to a half hour format. Whilst there were some good stories, half an hour doesnt allow for much character development and at times, investigations seemed rushed. It would not revert to an hourly show until 1. There have been many memorable characters at Sun Hill Police Station. After D. I. Galloway left, he was replaced by D. Fn Belgian Mauser Serial Numbers. I. Burnside, a copper who did whatever he could to achieve a result and would happily rough up a suspect to ensure justice was done. Other great D. I. D. I. Deakin, a veteran old school copper and the intense D. I. Cullen. Lets not forget the old school copper Chief Inspector Conway whose job was mainly desk based but who got his hands dirty when necessary. Conway was killed off in 2. There have been three bosses in the series, first there was Chief Superintendent Brownlow. He left in 2. 00. Superintendent Tom Chandler who seemed the right man to lead Sun Hill but who left in 2. The current boss is Superintendent Adam Okaro who is set to clean up Sun Hill and isnt afraid to go out on the streets with the troops. The current Bill is far different to the early episodes. The show is now more of a soap and there are not really any self contained stories. Model Builder Program. The show, in my opinion, has suffered due to its heavy emphasis on the officers private lives and the constant sexual liasons between officers. Another thing that has not helped The Bill is the constant axing of popular characters such as the crooked D. S. Beech, the intense D. I. Cullen and Supt. Chandler. Whilst their replacements have on the whole been good, The Bill needs to take more time to listen to its fans and to give newer characters a chance before axing them. Where does The Bill go from here I definitely think it needs to tone down on the officers private lives and have less sex and more police work. It needs to give new characters a chance to find their feet before deciding they need to go. And it needs to be bold and have the odd self contained story as well. All in all, The Bill is a decent enough programme which can steadily improve it it takes note of the above points. I hope it continues for a long time.
