The Bill

No, I kept chopping and changing and in the end just stopped watching on Drama.

The last series just ended on U&W, so I got to watch Jack's final speech RESPECT all over again. Great piece of scriptwriting, great delivery.

And looking ahead they are going back to a series that Okaro was in, lots of my old favourites so I am happy about that.
I didn't like the way characters started to disappear at the rate of knots in the final series.

Yeah I noticed they’re going back to the Cathy/ Brandon kidnapping storyline.
I like that storyline, but I don’t think I’ll watch because I only saw that storyline a few years ago on Drama

Speaking of Okaro, I remember when Heaton arrived, I thought I would never warm to him. But I did. He and Gina used to butt heads so much until they got to know and respect one another.

Okaro was one of my favourites in The Bill. There was something compelling about his acting. Natural and very watchable.

That was partly why I couldn't take to Heaton at first. I loved Okaro.

I liked when Heaton proved June wrong and got his girlfriend in trouble for being corrupt

I saw the episode recently where Smithy helps the little boy with the kidnapped parents. I love it because it’s the first time we get to see his softer side

I absolutely loved that too. A great storyline.

I liked that he was a flawed character iykwim, it makes someone more believable or something. I also liked that he really adored his little girl.

Started on the 'new' series last night. Well I picked one that started just after the kidnap story ended. I'll go back and watch that story during the week.

Ah, lots of my old favourites - Reg, Honey, June, Yvonne, Sam, Laura - all of whom were gone before / by the end of the final series. Lewis was in it, but he was Curtis, a teenage tearaway.
