Me😆 I record and watch it on the Drama channel every week day and if that isn't enough I recently noticed that the channel called W shows episodes early Saturday morning so I record those too and watch them when I can.
Chris Rowe corrupt is the word your looking for and you have forgot to mention that the writers and producter killed most of the cast off. Plus they had to compete with the crap of soap land and other shit .
At the beginning of the video there’s a picture of the Sun Hill crew from 1987. They are: Top: PC Dinesh Patel, PC Robin Frank, PC Nick Shaw, PC Reg Hollis, PC Francis “Taffy” Edwards, PC Ken Melvin, PC Tony Stamp. Middle: PC Jim Carver, WPC June Ackland, Sgt. Tom Penny, Sgt. Alec Peters, WPC Viv Martella, PC Tony “Yorkie” Smith, DC Mike Dashwood. Bottom: DS Ted Roach, DI Roy Galloway, Chief Supt. Charles Brownlow, Insp. Brian Kite, Sgt. Bob Cryer.
Didn't Reg try and top himself after they suddenly ended his contract. I think that's what the presenters were trying to get him to talk about with their first question.
One of the most stupid decisions they made to axe the best police drama on TV. Can't get my head round why the axed it, hopefully they bring back The Bill. Many people and myself miss The Bill ;(
you only have past series 20 on uktv play so are saying that [ actually starts mid series 17 but they daftly call it season 20 for no reason at all ] the bill was equally as good prior to the seasons your apps make available, i promise. young ackland, early beach, Galloway, early burnside, prime cryer, eamonn walker in for couple year, brownlow...... so much more. you really need to get physical media big boy
@u2atomicbomb you would think that but i think it was nice to give Jeff Stewart a chance to explain his side of things. Nice to see him looking more like good old Reg Hollis again. Shame Burnside couldnt make it. I just wish The Bill was still going, It ends in Scotland on Monday its not going to be the same without it.
I miss the Bill watched it as a kid growing up and was still watching it when it ended. There will never be a better Police program. i would love to see it come back the worse decision was to move it from 8:00 to 9:00 on a week day.
Patrick that's the type of stuff kids need to learn about so not to use and do those crimes. But I stead they have coronation Street and eastenders that as more deaths, crime, drugs, explosions, rape etc than a real town.
Favourite characters : Gentlemen -Adam Okaro (a Leader,great Superintendant,strong personality but a kind man) -Jack(is a chief ,leader,loved his Yorkshire accent) -I like Maslen but dont really like him very much on the show as he's somehow corrupted sometimes.He loved to makes some jokes at people but not to hurt them. -Jim ,Tony -Danny -but I really liked Callum Stone(down to earth,ready to forgive PCs mistakes and give lessons for the following mission) -Des was funny ,I didnt like how people look at Reg(always misregarded but he was a cool guy). -Gary (becomes angry fast but is sensitive and sometimes funny) - DI Manson(down to earth and calm ,thouhtful before giving orders) Ladies: -June -Eva -Gina(she was like a mum ) -Kerry(she 's the unlunkiest ,romance disppointment,rape and shot dead by Dark Angel Gabriel,she was so nice and didnt diserve all that,I liked her very much) -Ruby Buxton -Emma Keane(so beautiful and pretty) -Stevie Moss - A great show ,one of the Best British Crime shows,filmed like a documentary,great actions,drama and love stories between characters.
Greatest and most realistic UK cop drama ever. The ability to scatter small everyday details in-between the drama was brilliant and made the show very relatable and realistic. I rewatch the show often and like many of you I miss it too but I can also imagine how awful and politically correct/politically focused a rebooted version of The Bill would no doubt be.
Btw Simon Rouse should not have been awarded a point on the Sean Bean question, Bean and his partner played armed robbers who used a hammer and a gun to rob their victims in the episode Long Odds
@TheRachyJane They ended his contract, he reacted badly and tried to harm himself so they wrote him out quietly. He's appearing in a few Hollywood films soon :D
The producers ruined the show when they added a sort of americanism to the format. Ratings then really started to decline, even tho they had for a few years when they had got rid of some of the favourites. When they changed to the americanism format more viewers left, hence they decided to pull the plug on the series. Of course once the people at the top realised viewers hated the new format and changed it back to more the uk standard, the ratings started to rise unfortunately it had already been signed off to finish the series. Incidentally they more or less did the same to London's Burning, killed the favourites off or gave the actors stupid stories so they wanted to leave and changed the format. It's a shame they never did a crossover with the two shows in the late 80s/early 90s
IMHO, the Bill - which was compulsive viewing in my house from the very first episode - literally lost the plot from Series 16. With one daft story line after another, more criminals inside Sun Hill than out, and too much time spent on the personal lives of the officers, my household stopped watching. It got its mojo back in Series 21. Very sad to see it end for good. I re-watch from Woodentop to S15 every couple of years.

Wait, so from me typing, OMG Look at Reg, you assume i'm being mean. quite the contrary, When i was a child, I would go to my Grans after school and The Bill would be "Granada Plus" Sky TV & i would watch it, I remember Reg, having Black hair and being a young man, I remember Bob Cryer. I'm now 30, It's nostalgic to see him again. So i think you should think before you type. !!!!!!
Lucy Higgins stevie and June haven't and Alex haven't you need to get some glasses love. Why shouldn't they have beards they are men that's what men look like can tell you wasn't born in the 60s and 70s 😂
Who else still watches the bill on repeat?!? 😁😁
Me😆 I record and watch it on the Drama channel every week day and if that isn't enough I recently noticed that the channel called W shows episodes early Saturday morning so I record those too and watch them when I can.
Me tooo x
me night after night until series 25...went to dark still watched them
Me on repeat both tv and you tube
Never watched it until last yr then rewatched it months later !!! Nobody does police investigations like the brits !!! Roz In oz
I'm from Australia and we love the Bill, it became part of the culture in the 1990s, imitating the coppers was huge.
I'm watching re-runs on youtube. Love the cast, crew and story lines.
I miss The Bill. Smithy was my favourite character, I love Alex Walkinshaw!!!
Amy J The last big storyline they had was Zain Nadir going bent. It all went downhill after that.

Amy it was the only good thing on tv
Ratings was declining
What the hell were they thinking when they axed The Bill, it was one of the greatest police dramas I grew up watching
it became dark

The sad loss of a greatly loved Police series currently repeating on Drama TV.
Didn't Reg try and top himself after they suddenly ended his contract. I think that's what the presenters were trying to get him to talk about with their first question.
Yes but you didn't have to bring it up

Biggest mistake and still crap programmes such as eastenders, coronation Street, x factor, dancing on ice and many more
@@chanelgoffe2470 You're dumb, you forgot the ? at the end of your sentence.
Spot on well said
dwnstringer totally agree
i missed the last 2 years off the bill gone but never forgtoen
i gotta miss the bill it not gotta be the same n i allways watched it n it very sad
Btw Simon Rouse should not have been awarded a point on the Sean Bean question, Bean and his partner played armed robbers who used a hammer and a gun to rob their victims in the episode Long Odds
Past actually won that! I counted, Past 6, Present 5.
I thought June was longer than Regs because she been in the bill at the start
Yeah June was in the first episode
Chandler should have been here, vile character but terrifically acted.
I miss reg Hollis the way he was let go was disgusting.
Lucy Speed was a little fox 😍
Sean Bean played an armed robber, not a shop lifter.
Thought phill colins was there for a minute
@TheRachyJane They ended his contract, he reacted badly and tried to harm himself so they wrote him out quietly. He's appearing in a few Hollywood films soon :D
mikelbizkit actually the are called indie films. Lovely bloke genuine
#BringTheBillBack
the bill was replaced by the only way is essex.. what is the world coming too.
Yasmin Sweed yeah and other shit shows like x factor, dancing with the stars, coronation Street, easterenders, etc
At least they still show great dramas. Unforgotten. The Bay.
Reg💜💜💜
pause at 0:38, you see smithy already doused in dust and the walls and doors in the background are all fake.
mikelbizkit always one boring fart

Shame Burnside couldn’t make it I would’ve like Billy Murray there
Tom Williams Productions yes
Tom Williams Productions do you mean Chris Ellison? ;-)
dan999uk I worded it poorly but I meant, Burnside (Chris Ellison) & Billy Murray (Beech) both are in my top five of Coppers on the show

The bill got stupid in the 2000s
Sean bean plaed a armed robber. I only watched it the other day.
Simon Rouse looks different. Didn't recognise him at first!
gaywest4298 me too.
Doesnt help that he has a different natural voice to the Meadows voice
Probably the beard and glasses.
Trudie! 3
Who agrees with me that Smith would be perfect for the robocop program.
Yes he would have been
ITV are planning a new "The Bill" type show. It's not "The Bill" but it might be as good as "The Bill"

Phil B Has any more info been released about the show?
Cant believe they axed this who the hell is running itv its a disgrace
OMG Look at Reg
DM87 why what's wrong with him!

Wait, so from me typing, OMG Look at Reg, you assume i'm being mean.
