[Closed] The Bill ending this autumn after 27 years - good or bad?

don't think i've ever seen it, its a pretend TV show, hence I am beyond indifferent

Hmmmm. A lot of TV is pretend....

good thank f%^k , its been dying for years

Excellent. I have always refused to watch it on the grounds that it was incorrectly titled "The Bill".........instead of the correct term "The Old Bill"

Was it any good ?

Good. It lost it's way a long time back.
Though they should start a new series with Reg Hollis as a private detective.

Pity they didnt spend more time catching criminals than,haveing rows and acting up for the cameras,lets hope they spend more time on the street now..............

Good,long time to worry over a non-payment.

beyond indifferent +1

Hardly Z Cars was it.

haven't watched it since burnside took over from the ginger CID bloke, i think i was still at school then

Ernie; would you have preferred it if it had been called 'The Filth'? 😀

It's always been a bit lame, really, to tell the truth. Hardly CSI, Hill St Blues or CHIPS, was it?

You'll never take me alive coppers

😕 No Talkemada - The Old Bill would've of been fine.

And I also prefer my bobbies to be whistling on the beat - like what they used to do in old days ......

Gawd bless'em

Stopped watching it about 15 years ago...

I did some work on the set of The Bill in Merton, South London a couple of years ago. Not very glamorous but the canteen served good, free food. Claire Goose was it it at the time and she still looked pretty good. Wonder what will happen to the set (and people) now.

Juliet Bravo FTW!

Of course it's a good thing, The Bill is utter shite.

they should start a new series with Reg Hollis as a private detective.

Only if they let him look like he does off duty:
