The Bill

I used to watch The Bill as a kid with my older siblings – absolutely loved it! I was completely obsessed with DC Zain Nadir. I even wrote a letter to the actor who played him and was over the moon when I got a signed autograph back.

Took me ages to think of Leon (Dominic Power) as anyone but the evil Cameron from Emmerdale. 😁 He was in The Bill first, I think but I must have forgotten about the crossover!

Oh I see Hunter on the Street was on today on U&W. Happy days, I'm wrecked, feet up, ideal viewing.
I loved Phil/ Scott Maslen in The Bill. 😁

I'm still watching the final series on U&Drama where loads of people leave in quick succession and there's dramatic music and all the rest of it. I didn't like the changes they made. It lost a lot of what made it a great watch, imo.

So it's really comforting going back to the older one and seeing all the old faithfuls. I loved so many of the characters from the older series - Reg, Tony, Phil and so many more. Gina Gold (Roberta Taylor, RIP) was iconic imo.

I’m child free this morning which is very rare for a weekend so I’ve put The Bill on while I do some cleaning. Jo Masters is brilliant, I think she’s really underrated.

I always loved any storylines Jo featured in. I was thinking recently of the storyline where Stuart saved her life. 'Hun' 😁

Are you me?! 😀
I was thinking of that one when the poster said they liked Jo. Great episode
😁 I love when Jo hugs him at the end and calls him 'hun' again.

And I know Stuart was in some ways a show off and all the rest of it, but, again, a great character well played. He had a vulnerable side which made him likeable, to me. I loved when he did the tv programme and all the others teased him mercilessly. 😁

Oh yeah. That’s a great scene when they’re all watching him on tv

I still have a few more from the older series to watch later. If memory serves me correctly, Phil takes off on a bike in pursuit of a criminal, at one point, and he is really cocky about how successful he is, in uniform, in general. 😁
