As someone born in 93 and not starting watching The Bill until 2004, I love watching these older episodes. They're the best. Thanks for uploading

Frank Burnside definitely one of my all time favourite coppers the guvnor bend the rules but never break them Chris plays him so naturally 🙂

Jim Carver singing Pinball Wizard before his car breaks down was hilarious

At this point, Detective Inspector Francis Burnside made his mark....as a stand up gentleman, and a man who had his colleagues' back. Chris Ellison is awesome

When the bill was a must watch show,great characters led by Frank Burnside, a bloke you would want in the trenchs with you

I enjoy all these old episodes, before The Bill became a soap opera

1:30 Bloody​ hell, its​ a​ young David​ Lonsdale from​ HEARTBEAT.​ So​ different​ -​ brilliant​💯​actor.​ Yet​ another​ great​ programme.​ Thanks​ for​ posting​‼️ (31​/08/2021​)​

I've been binge watching all the early episodes. You really get a sense that times were-a-changing as we moved into the 90s in Series 6. It must have been difficult for some officers to adjust. I bet some were saying "The job's f**ked" even back then.

Due to editing they didn't quite make it clear enough that Carver broke down before he'd had a drink, and revisited the car on the way back from the pub to move it.

23:33 has me in stitches every time

Webber, played by Eamon Boland great actor of the 70's & 80's, very underrated 💯🇬🇧🎥

17:55 oh my god, young Mark Strong was such a cutie with lovely fluffy hair. Thank you so much for uploading this!

You can tell Brownlow had it in for DS Roach, as he presumed that Roach was the one in trouble, despite being told in the earlier meeting that one of his DCs had failed a breath test.

You are an absolute legend for putting these episodes on here. Cheers!

6:34 a early David Lonsdale before his more familiar role on heartbeat.

Ironic that Carver would be singing a Who song from Quadrophenia... ;-)

Even brownlow looks bored in that meeting

Burnside will always defend his boys

Don’t blame Frank for being bored meeting looks really dull.

Wasnt the 1st time Carver was lashed on duty😂

Young Mark Strong

Typical bs. As someone once said," tis a tale told by idiots, signifying nothing".

I would have enjoyed seeing that prat of a plod dropped several pegs down the ladder, so to speak.

I’m sure Carver’s number plate is illegal.

think jim carver is fully wrong arrested just b'cos his car had broken down

Why do these fools keep saying he had no intention of driving. How did the car get there? Craver acts like a little child. He was wrong but because he was a cop he thought he was above the law.

Since when did Frank Burnside smoke? He might look the type but I don't remember him doing it before.

A Clean Division Episode aired Jan 23, 1990

13:49 A bit of a mistake there Jim! You had £5.36p in your pocket.

Mrs Richards: " I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) " That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
