As good as when I watched it first time round in the 80's. So well written, very nearly a "fly on the wall" documentry feel to it. A program you can really lose yourself in. 10 out of 10!

I like this show, if people dont like it, then simply dont watch it, but dont ruin it for the others that do enjoy the show, there a alot of things to watch on youtube, you can always change it, im sorry to be so blunt, but it is only common sense, im from the states so watching shows from here or aussie, i really enjoy because they are different then the ones here.

According to Imdb.com wooden top went to air in August 16 1983 as a pilot & the first episode (this one) was 5 August 1984. If you go to either Imdb.com or download the IMDb app & search the bill you can find every person who appeared & how many episodes they were in, good app to get.

That's how people spoke back then when communities were closer. Yep, in those days, 'community' meant the people in your local area not some silly reference to a specific demographic or group within a population. Even if my sexuality, ethnicity, religion or whatever is something in common with someone else, they are not part of my community unless I know them or know of them specifically and live local to me.

Thatcher's London Police and Crooks!One of the Best UK Series Ever Women were a little despised in this period but no more in the later decades. Bob Cryer 's First coming. I realized that by watching this Show that burgling ad crooks dominates more than Law Enforcement :Police was weak whilst its not the same in America where Law Enforcement is tough and harsh.

Erik Stone Did you know the BBC made a joke out of it by having someone dressed up as a Policeman and another dressed up as a PCSO? The Policeman told the PCSO he was just pretending to be a Policeman and that he wasn't even a Policewoman. Before sending him to prison! He also pointed out he is actually a Policeman whereas on The Bill the two actors in the original open sequence were just pretending to be officers.

I think the makers of the bill had to change Tommy to Frank Burnside as there was someone at the Met called Tommy Burnside. In the late 80s Christopher Ellison and his CID colleagues were funny as hell off set whenever we saw them on location in NW London.
