I have just noticed, out of all the themes post 1998, the only one that truly resembles the original is 2007-2008. First time I have listened to it closely
Thanks for the video upload- was reminiscent though theres a slight error at 4:16 which is actually the 2001 theme not 2003 (I also remember it at that particular time too.)
I love the 2003 one but it was actually introduced in 2001. The characters were shown in it e.g Vicky Hagen, Di, Sam, Kate ect but because loads left they kept the same tune but changed the characters on the front to Kerry, Luke, Sam Nixon, Robbie... do I need to go on?
I also think that the theme tunes used in the years 2008-2007 sound really similar to the FANTASTIC, ORIGINAL used back in the years 1983 (when it was FIRST SHOWN on analogue TV screens all around the world) up to year 1999
very good video tho couple if dates wrong the 1998 theme finished in 2000 then the theme u put beginning 2003 was actually 2001 till 2003 then the one u put on 2005 actually came in 2003-2006 then the final one was 2007-2009 then we all know bout the shite theme they had for the final year

1988- 1998 the bill was at its best
1984 was the best theme. Goes very well with the programme!
was a great show.

1988 was the best in my opinion and so was 1984
Well done johnmartin1097 you really do put some great videos on youtube. And thanks for this.
My Mum loves this show. These songs are permanently embedded into my skull. 😆

Love 98, 2003, 2005, and 2007/08
2003 was my favourite that shitty theme that was like 3 seconds long on the final year made me want to do a Gabriel kent
I hope it goes back to the original theme for the final set of episodes, like Grange Hill did.
I liked the 2003 theme song and the very last theme song which was used from the middle of 2009 I think till it's very end in August 2010.
Any one of these would go with a police responding blues / twos video!
Imagine if someone did a 'The Bill-style' intro to other TV series (particularly the 1984, 1985, 1988)
2005 version is the best one for me
I love the 2003 one but it was actually introduced in 2001. The characters were shown in it e.g Vicky Hagen, Di, Sam, Kate ect but because loads left they kept the same tune but changed the characters on the front to Kerry, Luke, Sam Nixon, Robbie... do I need to go on?
I have to agree with Mistnaewmarch. that 1997 was excellent sound for that the Bill !!!!
1988 the best
2005/2007-2008 is the best theme for me.
2005 is almost the original woodentop again which was good.
2010, we don't speak of 2010...
Nothing wrong with Mark Russells - Overkill from Respect finale. The 2009 soft reboot theme was a little on the bland side tho.
Video was uploaded in 2008.
I was born in 2003
2003 reminds me of casulty, or is it holby. can't remember
Casualty
The 2003 version sounds more like it'd belong in a Hollywood action movie than a British TV police drama.
1998 and 2003
The Siren
The 1984 one is sick, sounds like it's actually been composed, would be very impressed if it was synth.
Your 2003 one is actually the 2001 intro, your 2005 intro is the proper 2003 intro.
2007 the best
2003 one was actually 2001 but that is the best one for me.
the end credits song to woodentops fits well with the early Bill dark and gloomy drama side
No girlfriend, but this smoke is fucking good.... i cant believe I just watched that
2003 one is best. Old School
2001-2003 version is the best. However this isn't all the themes. 2009-2010 is missing so it isn't the complete series.
This was uploaded in March 2008
1988 was the best. 1998 and 2003 were the worst. 2005 comes a close second, which is a decent modern take on the original 1984 theme.
I agree with you because you told the truth!
They shouldn't have changed it all together in the years 1998 & 2003 because both themes tunes are shite!
I also think that the theme tunes used in the years 2008-2007 sound really similar to the FANTASTIC, ORIGINAL used back in the years 1983 (when it was FIRST SHOWN on analogue TV screens all around the world) up to year 1999
They should bring back The Bill! Other shows such as Catchphrase, Londons Burning and Dallas have been bought back, so why not The Bill!
doesnt the 2005 versionn sonud very similar to the original version
very good video tho couple if dates wrong the 1998 theme finished in 2000 then the theme u put beginning 2003 was actually 2001 till 2003 then the one u put on 2005 actually came in 2003-2006 then the final one was 2007-2009 then we all know bout the shite theme they had for the final year
Should have kept its classic theme to the end!
1984 and 1986 sounds like porno music. 1988 was the best but the triumphants was good as well.
na they wont it will go on for ever just like eastenders its too popular for them to end it
ITV are bringing back Catchphrase
All these themes are better than that stupid new one they have on now.
Such a shame that it became such a stupid show.
