The Bill is a very long running TV drama cum kind of police based soap opera, and its longevity is probably a fitting testament to the programme's durability and ongoing ability to capture audiences. Its early days (it was originally called 'Woodentops' featuring a very young June Ackland (Trudy Goodwin) and Jim Carver (Mark Wingett)) ...  Read the complete review

The Bill was first shown as a Pilot in 1983, then became a series in 1984. The Bill is set in the fictional London area of Sun Hill which is a borough of Canley, East London. The Bill is unlike other police dramas as they don't tend to focus on one case or type of case eg. Homicide, and storylines involving anything from murder to robbery are ...  Read the complete review

I've always liked the Bill and watched it on and off for many years now. Over time they've changed the format slightly and characters have come and gone. They've also changed the time slots a lot so many long time viewers got annoyed with never knowing when it was on! These days it's settled down though and can be found at 8pm on ...  Read the complete review

I never really liked The Bill until I found that nothing was on on a Wednesday and Thursday at 8pm, so I found myself watching it and really starting to get into it. Its great to watch a programme like this which you can ewatch every week without a stop for 3 months or whatever the stoppage time is for programmes such as Midsomers, and Trial ...  Read the complete review

Just watching the bill tonight on the tv and its just struck me how great it is, i have been watching it now since i was about 10 years old and im now 20 and in 10 years many faces have changed but it still bangs out brilliant storylines on a weekly basis. The Bill is a police drama/soap set in London in the fictional borough of ...  Read the complete review

The Bill =========== For this review I have chosen to write a small round up style summary in to what The Bill is all about and rather than try and focus on storylines on a weekly basis I have written a brief summary by each cast member to give a clue as to there characters past. The Bill is an ITV drama, which is broadcast ...  Read the complete review

I have been a viewer of The Bill since 1988 and only missed two eipsodes within 15 odd years which I have caught up with on UKTV Gold. I enjoy the program very much and always keep upto date with the stories. I have quite a few favourite characters past and present such as PC Cass Rickman (Suzanne Maddock 1999-2002), PC Nick Klein (Rene Zagger ...  Read the complete review

Hi all bill fans, I feel that since the explosions and all the new charactrs comming in to the produciton, some of them have made me feel that i couldn't connect with them-some not at all, I supose it just depends on your tastes. although as a program it's been great and considering that i've basically been watching ...  Read the complete review

Steamy sex, devious conspiracies and professional misconduct. Still, enough about behind the scenes at ‘Call My Bluff’, this op’s all about ‘The Bill’, the bread and butter staple of the ITV diet that reached its 20th year a few weeks ago. Subject of the original ‘soap or serial?’ conundrum, the ...  Read the complete review

I have been an avid watcher of The Bill for many years. through the original 1 hour episodes to the half hour ones and back to the 1 hour. In that time i have seen many great characters being played in The Bill. Who could forget Frank Burnside, Ted Roach, Bob Cryer, Dave Quinnan Ch Supt Brownlow. The strength of the show was built on these ...  Read the complete review

I have watched the Bill on and off since it started. They had improved it by changing from the original format of two ½ hourly episodes a week to two hourly ones now. Then last year they decided to give the whole cast a revamp and get rid of some of the cast that had been there since day one. Some of the cast members that they got rid of I ...  Read the complete review

New Bill. Old Bill. The Bill. Like many other shows, The Bill is now working to find its feet again. They've just suffered a cast revamp, several credit changes (as opposed to the plodding feet that served for many years) and two new theme tunes but it still manages to consistently turn out brilliant stories. The ...  Read the complete review

This used to be a great police drama (if not the best), yet lately it is not that exciting anymore. The program centers around Sun Hill police station in London. The old style Bill didn’t include much of the private lives of the offices, CID, etc. Yet this show is moving more towards an episode of Trisha, as it shows you more ...  Read the complete review

Whilst I admit that Iu don't watch too much TV these days, "The Bill" is one of the very few programs I make a point of watching. When the show started back in the eighties, it was good but when the length of the program was sliced in half to a thirty minute schedule, production and story quality sunk and I stopped watching ...  Read the complete review

The Bill has a justified reputation as a hard-hitting and realistic police drama. I have been watching it since the 1980s, when it was drama rather than a soap. It made the transition very well, retaining its integrity. It tells that day to day story of the staff of Sun Hill police station, set in the London inner city. Storylines are varied ...  Read the complete review

I'm in favour of the "new bill" with its more controversial story lines etc. however I was really disappointed with the episode screened on Tuesday 16th January. The storyline centered around an officer, from a neighbouring station, who was accused of domestic violence against his wife. In a change to the normal almost ...  Read the complete review
