The Bill

The Bill is a great police drama on ITV1. It centres around the (albeit rather far-fetched) lives of police officers in the heart of London.

We have classic characters and episodes with some tense investigations and regular sieges and fights making for gripping viewing!

Are there any more fans of The Bill on this forum?

I love The Bill, and can't wait for next weeks explosive episodes.

Ah! Well, here we go then!

Here is previews of this and next week's episodes (the latter of which I'm wetting myself to see!)

Wed 16 February - 8pm (1hr)
Andrea's suspicions of Gabriel grow and she shares her thoughts with Smithy.

Thur 16 February - 8pm (1hr)
Andrea begs Manson to believe that she didn't mean to lie to him about being an undercover journalist.

Wed 23rd February 2005 - 8pm (1hr)
Andrea is held hostage by Gabriel in a store room after he has seen the evidence she has on him.

Thur 24th February 2005 - 8pm (1 hr)
The station explodes in a fireball - and Gabriel's going to leave someone to burn...

Thur 24th February 2005 - 10pm (half hour)
In this extra, four hander episode, featuring just Jim Carver, Tony Stamp and June Ackland, a fight brings the couple back together.

Next Weeks episodes are going to be gold, and it's interesting we're to see a half hour episode.

Spoiler:
Ken dies instantly, Gabriel leaves Andrea to burn and Marilyn dies as Reg slips an engagement ring into her pocket.

Thur 24th February 2005 - 10pm (half hour)
In this extra, four hander episode, featuring just Jim Carver, Tony Stamp and June Ackland, a fight brings the couple back together.

FOUR hander, featuring just Jim,Tony and June.I make that three.

Haha! What a stupid mistake to make!

Can't believe that Andrea is left to burn by Gabriel, its just like what he did with Kerry

So Sun Hill blows up again *yawns*

Have to admit, if they blow it up again its kind of nothing new. I dont think there is a more doomed police station than Sun Hill these days.

Then agan, if Sun Hill police station is anything like Holby City hospital, it will be up and running as if nothing ever happenned within 2 weeks.

Yep, thats the one. They have terrific builders in London (if only they did my job would be so much easier)

Paul Marquess (executive producer) is doing it because the replacement station will be 'cutting edge', 'state of the art', and 'very modern'.

Also, a cast clearout was obviously needed so I suppose this is the best way to do it. Last year, The Bill was recomissioned until 2012, and he decided to 'rip the show apart and start from scratch', building 'storyline arcs'.

There were rumours that it was going to turn into a four-times weekly soap, each edition half an hour, and other of two hour-long episodes and one half-hour episode. We'll see!

I suppose the future's bright!

(And I completely agree about Holby! Some incredible buildings they have!)

Hey peeps! I love the Bill! As mentiond earlier, it is great police drama, actually it's a fab police drama! I only wish they would show it 3 - 4 times a week! Twice is not enough! Also, on ITV 3, why do they show the two seperate eps when on the weekend when it's advertised as an 'omnibus'...?
