 Rating:  - Burnside is back as a main charecterThe bill series 4 is the best season of season 1, 2, 3 and having seen all of the series 1 and 2 and 3 episodes. but this season contains DCI frank burnside one of my most fav charecters, this box set contains the 13 episodes half hour episodes, one good episode is when WPC june ackland and PC yorkie smith and TSG officers are shot at by armed robbers that was great, then when a car was on fire and yorkie smith got nocked uncouncous when the car went up in flames killing one person, then there is also a new inspector chief inspector derek conway who was at the time one of the most surviving cahrecters antill his death in 2002 and this 1988 box set is something you should watch or buy. Rating: - The first 25-minute episodes from the series' classic era.For anyone who misses the days when The Bill was about police drama rather than soap opera tedium, this is a gem. For me this was the golden age of The Bill - good stories and strong scripts with excitement, intrigue and wit, featuring classic characters such as Burnside, Roach, Carver, Sgt Cryer and the lovely Martella among others. My only real gripe is the number of episodes. Howcome people in Australia get nearly 50 episodes of The Bill for every release and the UK gets just over a dozen? At the rate of releases in the UK, DVDs wll have been replaced by some other format before any episodes from 1989 have been released here. Still, if you're a fan of the series this is a must-have. Rating:  - the bill - good but not as good as the originalsthe initial half hour episodes were mostly good, though due to the change in format and the toning down of show the atmosphere of the original episodes are lost. the cast began to expand in order to cover the required number of episodes and sadly many of the original characters subsequently left the show during it's run over the next year or two. john salthouse is missed as d.i. galloway and this contributes to the change in the writing. the episodes tended to be either very good or simply poor, often focusing on only a few characters, owing to the new filming schedules. the quality does suffer at times, although it is still 5 stars compared to the stupid soap that the bill has become today. it is certainly ... Read More: Rating: - New Faces, Same Job...Series 4 marked the first of the 30 minute twice weekly episodes in place of the 50 minute "originals". The show also lost two of its best characters in Inspector Kite and DI Galloway. Replacements included Inspector Christine Fraser, and PC Pete Ramsey, a slimey ex-DC from Barton Street superbly played by Nick Redding. The series also marks the full time debut of Frank Burnside as Sun Hill's new D.I. - his previous portayal as a cockney wide boy being explained by a backstory involving Operation Countryman. Old favourites still with the show include Sergeants Cryer, Penny & Peters, DS Roach & DC Dashwood, and all the uniformed officers - "Taffy" Edwards, Reg Hollis and June Ackland amongst others. The main consequence of the ... Read More: Rating: - The early half hour days In the summer of 1988 The Bill began broadcasting twice weekly throughout the year. The change of format also saw the programme having to tone swearing and violence as it was now broadcast before the 9:00pm watershed. As a consequence of this, the key cast member and central character Roy Galloway left the programme with actor John Salthouse stating that he did not like the changes. The red haired short tempered DI was not given an on screen departure, and it is implied that he has moved to another station. Several cast members are also missing including Inspector Kite and PC Shaw. In their place we see the arrivals of Inspector Fraser, PC Peter Ramsey, PC Malcom Haynes and a character destined to be a big part of the programme for many years, Chief ... Read More: |
