All went downhill when they first started really focusing on the relationships and second when they went to multiple cameras and American, Law and Order style dramatic music. After 2006ish it was done. Law and Order the original is an amazing show a proper procedural drama but The Bill was good BECAUSE it wasnt slick and used a single camera. Just glad there's over 20yrs of series left for us to enjoy.
Law & Order? That show featured a lot of British Actor's and Actress's. ie, Madhur Jaffrey, Brenda "VERA" Blethin. Alfred Molina, also Sarita Choudry, to name but a few. Oh, and Alex Kingston.

This went down hill becasue people slowly lost respect for the police. Started losing views near the end of this is when things started to change. Talks where in for bringing it back. Ha wouldn't work now. Can you imagine lol
@@Beastgrows Not quite true. He suffered depression and a failed suicide attempt because his character was being written out of The Bill in 2007. No need to look it up. It's been common knowledge for years. Besides, he got the last laugh. The Bill ended three years later anyway.
The first episode of The Bill in 1993, which was still produced by Thames Television, but because Thames were no longer an ITV franchisee the show had to be presented to the ITV Network by one of the incumbent franchisees. Yorkshire Television, Central and (cruel irony as they beat Thames for the London weekday franchise) Carlton were amongst the companies who would.
Love these thankyou! Im sure ive seen nearly every episode from series 10 to 22! Between Drama channel on freeview and YT. The Bill in the 90s would be my Mastermind Specialist Subject!
The health and fitness of these cops is laughable. It's a constant in this show. I love it but damn, they go down easy. 20 years on they will smack you around and cause as much physical damage as possible and get away with it.
Really like these old Bill episodes, before it became a soap opera

Thank you so much for this. Brings back so many memories.
the good old days R.I.P london
Brings back memories☺️👍👍
Thanks for sharing, looking forward to the rest of season 9. Big thanks again.
Is it just me or does Reg look exactly the same throughout the entire 30 years that the bill ran lll
Should see him now, unrecognisable
27 years. But yes he does.
@@JimLem he got very depressed and had some kinda breakdown because of the Bill ending. Look it up. Poor bloke.

Shame he died , to young
Thanks Jana, you're the best 😀👍
You're welcome 😊
Burnside and Roach, the best team at CID.
Love Christopher Ellison as Frank Burnside ❤ it's a shame he isn't doing so well ATM 😢
@@CarolEpworth-md9tf. Yes Carol. I read about his health problems and it really is a shame. You never know what’s in store for you do you?
Indeed... Old hands who deep down can't stand each other, but they're the dying breed and as they say, birds of a feather.
7:40 Jon Croft played Inspector Sam Deeping in Woodentop

Mine too!!
Until they reverted back to hour episodes and had a high cast turnover.....
Do either of you remember an episode with a crossbow trap!?
@@TheEyez187 The episode where Tom Penny got shot by a trap set by an old cat lady back in Series Three I think?
@@Dansky73 Thank You, truly. For Years, I've been thinking I'd imagined it or something! >XD Further back than I thought; seeing it at 6yo in 1987
@@TheEyez187 No worries, certain episodes do stick in your head and that did for me too
A highlight of this show was laying bets on what colour hair tint Ted Roach would have on in each episode.
10:32 "You're nicked!"
Rumour has it the actor who played Roach was jealous of other cast members story lines and regularly farted in their lunch boxes
Great

These Bill's are well pakka 👍

23:27 - What do Londoners mean by "slag" when they use it to refer to a man?
Just a generic insult. I.e. "you fackin slaaaaaaag".
Look up the cartoon "2 fat slags." It's terribly dated and crude but it's more or less the definition, whatever the gender.
Bring this back but not that modern shit that’s one of the reasons it got axed
Great series. But total cringe at the male actors hair dye and eyeliner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
