Well they used the theme tune to Casualty in Surgeon Simulator, The exact same song in the beta. So you never know, though I'd prefer the original version, this is the second version of the song.
You’re nicked. Or, to put it more formally, I am arresting you on suspicion of *crime*. You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something which you later rely on in court. Anything you say may be given in evidence.
and then they bastardised it from 7/4 into 4/4 time because they decided people were too musically challenged to appreciate it. I saw Hans Zimmer live and one of the members of his orchestra was the guy who wrote this theme. Hans brought him to the front of the stage and announced, "this is the man responsible for 'The Bill' theme tune" and the entire arena gave him a standing ovation.
Hahahah bro I just read this in bed to my girlfriend as we were talking about the theme song and how great it was and I read this comment out aloud and we laughed so fucking hard at the conclusion. What a great story.
This is my favourite TV theme tune, but all the late 80's TV had awesome music, casualty, blockbusters, brookside, only fools and horses, they all had that unique sound.

I went passed the old Sunhill Police Station in Windsor Ave in Merton the other day...Very sad...The sign is covered up and it all looks empty...The end of an era! This is my favourite version of the Theme Tune...From the Good Old Days! Thanks for posting!!! :)
I remember it used to be super rare and thus exciting to here middle section with the strumming. Every now and then you'd it if the credits were long due to a 2 or more part episode.
Haha it really does sound like a Sega Megadrive theme! I still play the Megadrive these days, I have an Xbox360 but you can't beat the games like Sonic, Road Rash, Streets of Rage! This was the best Bill theme by far, someone could do an awesome remix to this, imagine a drum and bass remix or a rock remix with guitars lol.
I can't believe they cancelled this! I didn't even watch it! I started watching older episodes and thought maybe i should start watching it but I didn't get the chance! :(
Strange to see a recent comment from such a big channel on a video of... the theme tune from The Bill. Just went to the 2003-2006 theme song as well, and you also commented on that... three years ago. Glad I'm not the only one who comes back to this theme every few years.
Imagine this as a wanted theme in a Grand Theft Auto London.
Have you ever played The Getaway on PS2? The opening theme is like the sound of London
Omg that would be perfect 😍

instead of saying 'busted' it would say "You're nicked"
Tell that to the judge, sunshine!

Classic theme song
🤣🤣🤣
@@TheSlamSociety mate, I too had the exact same response reading this to my mates. We fucking died. I would never have linked The Bill to Hans Zimmer
Nothing can beat this great theme, nothing at all. It was the best one it ever had.
Doctor Who is a good one too!
Especially an extended version. 2 mins!!
Ah. Hold my beer while i play the Sweeney
The fact that this is on UA-cam to look up to appease nostalgia is epic.
Brings back childhood memories! My grand father always watched this. A real blast from the past!
Nobody cares bitch
@@luxbrumalis6879 shut up
I grew up watching this.
I used to sit at the kitchen table doing my homework as a young teen whilst watching this. @@mediaguyberlin
Man, Bill Bailey was right! This is awesome! I've never even seen this show, actually.
This is my favourite TV theme tune, but all the late 80's TV had awesome music, casualty, blockbusters, brookside, only fools and horses, they all had that unique sound.
woke up with this in my head... is that the first sign of some kind of madness or my call to move to london and become a bobby?
My mother always said to me that I can come home with another man but if I came home with a police woman I'd be disowned 😅😂🚨🚨🚨
This has to be one of the best bill themes ever! Love the keyboard solo...:)
It’s programmed
The way the melody lifts in the second chorus was to die for!!!
Those arpeggios in the middle 8 are insane
can you explain what time signature this song is in?
This will be missed ..what a time to be alive when this was huge ,no other theme song beats this ❤
surely blockbusters is a contender!
Dempsey & Makepeace is also great.
Danger UXB opening and ending themes are very good.
When the British catch you without a loicense
i love the bill when it was on tv
Still can watch it
Omg, memories, curling up passed my bedtime watching this with my mother.
Definitely the best version by miles
Man British tv shows had the raddest synthwave theme tunes in the 80s and 90s. This and Casualty and Dr Who...I'm sure there's more
..

You should hear the children's programmes. This is only a part of it!
You ought to add Dempsey and Makepeace to that list. Cracking theme tune!
dr who was even earlier, before yamaha synths they were using moogs and tape reels
@@j377yb33n Yeah man I'm a huge fan of Delia Derbyshire and the original Dr Who theme. She's an absolute legend
The power in that theme is just awesome. It's actually moving.
son you're nicked!

It pissed me off when they took out that middle bit, you know the bit that went fast . I never forgave them after that. The bastards!
Gotta love that diddly diddly bit in A minor with a C minor phrase
@@pjsretrogamesmusicandwrass5795 clearly you are an audiophile. Respect.
I always thought I had imagined the jazzy part. Glad to know I wasn't going mad.
the bill was good programme to watch
it was just banter
love this show!!
Dat 7/4 though
"Oh no."
"What?"
"..."
"Well what is it Terrence?"
"Its the bill, Dick. Its the old bill." (Cue theme)
Yep, we dont write dialogue like this anymore.
legendary show !

0:44 That's where the Italo-Disco comes in!
Somehow this reminds me alot of Top Gear, were James "Cray" was chased in the delivery fan by "Sir Sitg of the Yard"
Love that challenge.
Thank u trollstation!!
Legend on the drums, love it.
Love the keyboard solo! 😁😂
It’s the best part. Has me in stitches how sped up it is.
Finally i found that theme! Took forever
What a tune 😎
really catchy and memorable tune
I played this recently as a traffic warden walked past me doing what they do….hilarious!
Love this theme tune. Love seeing my dad's feet on the credits even if it was the only time I saw him as a kid! #billlife
I didn't start watching myself for a few years to come though remember my dad got quite pissed when I taped over his Bill episodes.
I think it could be an electric violin yea
This made my day...
I like the closing credits of this version!😃😃😃
Damn I love this tune! Seriously cool, they don't make them like this anymore :)
Ain't that the truth.
My 2nd favourite, wasn't too keen on the theme tune after this one. Thanks for uploading
Perfect for a chase theme!
RIP Tosh.

This reminds of my mum doing the ironing, evening, light bulbs illuminating the house, being told to get my bag ready for school....
😢
Love that first key change at 1:35.
Ooo yeah, it fit so seemlessly I didn't even notice until it reverted back at 1:43 - great shout I'm gunna *inspire* the crap out of that
0:44 my favourite part !! 😀
the bill has to b 1 of the most popular theme songs for a tv programme
It's in 7/4!
awesome
Well picked up
how the hell do you even write in 7/4...

Loves the theme to the bill
THANKS JOHN
An LDV van suits this!
Streeefer Precision yes!!

since last time it was mentioned, 10 people have been nicked by The Bill
It was released as an 7" single under Morgan Pask. And it's title was Overkill it's B Side was Rock Steady
Top banter.
Absolute banger

It reminds me of Super hang on on the mega drive
so glad i can watch this on drama channel
0:44-0:59 is a stone groove, super funky
I'm Love The Bill. X
BANGER!
You're upvoted sunshine!
I've downloaded this theme and the sweeney and play it when I'm driving. I fucking thrash it everyone, do handbrake turns and call people slaaags
still can't believe its gone :(
its all gone pear shaped....dont give me that old load of mularkey, its a stitch up,
This reminds me of bed time my parents sent me to bed at 830 when the bill started in Australia on the night it was on lol
You're sunshine, nicked!
Hello Nick, your sunshine!
Classic!

this sounds like it could be the main menu theme for a metal slug game
Cool.
I can't believe they cancelled this! I didn't even watch it! I started watching older episodes and thought maybe i should start watching it but I didn't get the chance! :(
We've only, Just, begun.
I wish they dident stop making the bill in 2010 it was the best british tv show ever.
Can't believe the Bill has been cancelled, Brookside, Byker Grove, Family Affairs, Grange Hill and now The Bill! :( Tragic...
Omg nostalgic
This isn't the "full" version of the theme tune, it goes all funky half-way through.
Look on UA-cam for the song "Overkill" for the true full version.
